Numerous papers npou other inter

in fact, are promised, tut the extreme
modesty OF the parties will not permit
their name to be made public at this
early date, and others have partially
promised to prepare brief articles, so
there will be no failure OF topics to
discuss and TO make the convention
attractive and profitable. A special
programme giving the particular pa
pers to be read and discussed at each
session will be ready for distribution
on Wednesday the 4th of February,
so that persons who cannot attend
during the entire time of the conven
ton may be present to participate IN
such discussions or listen to such pa
pers as they desire. In order to make
this special programme full and com
plete, we will thank every one who
contemplates presenting a paper at
that time, to notify US as soon as pos
slble, and at the same time furnish
the topic.
We anticipate very large conven

arrangement of the papers will sug.
gpst itself to every thoughtful person
Harmony will thus be secured and
time given for the important work IN
hand.

number of delegates that have thus

the benefits and advantages which
will accrue to their society and to tht
rapidly expanding industries of the
State.

ously and freely responded to our 50
