FABER WIELDERS.


We have before stated in our columns
that the next meeting Of the above As
ISOLATION would be held in this city
August 18th and 18th. The Sd District
Publishers Association is an organiza-
ton composed Of the editors and pub
fishers of this Congressional District.
Its object is the improvement of the
press in the district and the consequent
benefit to be derived by the patrons of
the same. Itwas organized at Postville
in February, 1877, and has held two ses-
sions annually since. Its membership
embraces the best editors in the district,
men whom it is an honor and policy
for any community to entertain; shrewd
and observing men who notice every ma
terial advantage and enterprise in any
community they visit; hence our read
ers will readily see the necessity of hav-
ing our city appear in its best garb.
They come here for work, and not for
pleasure or junketing, and this will be
clearly demonstrated before the Asso-
citation adjourns. We are able to give
brief outline of the intended plan to
be presented at the meeting.
The majority of the editors will ar
rive in the city Tuesday forenoon, and
the Association will be called to order
at the Firemen's Hall at 2 o'clock P. NJ.
The Firemen have generously donated
the use of their beautiful hall, which
will be properly appreciated by the ed
itors. Tuesday afternoon will be de-
voted to the transaction of business.
Our citizens have arranged for the re-
ception Of the editors on Tuesday even
ing at Kings Opera House. to which
everybody is invited. The programme
for the evening will consist of a recep-
ton speech by the Mayor, response
on behalf of the Association, some ex-
cellent singing by our talented vocalists,
reading of poem by Miss Nellie Will
kins, extracts from the press poem by
w. N. Burdick, of the Postville Re;
vie,o, music by the band, some interest
ing remarks on "The Country Press"
by J. w. Shannon, President of the AS
ISOLATION, all these interspersed with
short and sparkling speeches by our
leading citizens and members of the
press. The whole will conclude with
general social time, in which the guests
and entertainers will make each others
personal acquaintance.
It will be seen that the evening will
be made very entertaining one to all
by this programme. We hope our peo-
pie will all make an effort to come
out on this evening. Let's show the
visitors what Independence can do in
the way of crowd when she is properly
aroused.
On Wednesday morning the Associa-
ton will again resume business, and it
hopes to get through by noon.
Wednesday afternoon has been Sc
lected to visit the Hospital for the In
sane. This will be one of the most
agreeable features of the occasion to
many of the members. A very profita-
Bile afternoon may be spent in looking at
the workings of the great institution.
Many of the members of the Associa-
ton will return home on Wednesday
evening, but if enough remain over the
business will be continued on that even
ing. This will close the session in In
1t is of vital importance
that the representatives of the press
may receive favorable impression of
our city, and we have no doubt they
will. Forthe honor of Independence we
hope and believe that they will be hospi
tably received.
