DlOyed in the discussion OF topics bearing
directly upon the interests of the people Of

urges upon ITS tIustets IN counties where no
meetings have been held to exert themselves
to secure the coming meeting. They much
prefer, ali other things being equal, to hold
the meeting IN some locality where it has
not been held heretofore. The railroads Of
the State have always extended to US the
most generous eourtesies and will no doubt
unite with US again in our efforts to make
the meeting, wherever located, easily and
cheaply accessible to all our members and
friends. Correspondence on the subject Is
cordially invited.
