H. IL. Cos officials were 10 the cditurs, by
stopping the train at intervals to enable
them to view the magnificent scenery, but
take them through, by lightning express
aud warn all not to attempt change OF
undergnrments while passing through the
tunnels.
II there is one privilege the fraternity
enjoy more than another, IL Is II briei res
ptc from the cares OF business and these
annual meetings and excursions. Their
feelings and actions may be compared
with the student who has just passed
through his graduating exercises. While
but little business, other than the election
OF officers for the ensuing year takes place
at these annual meetings, there is gem
uine pleasure in the meeting OF old friends
with whom you have swapped thoughts
for years, and in the formation of new ac-
quaintances, which is not difficult task,
as there is fraternity OF feeling that makes
them wondrous kind to each other. Many
of the publishers Of Ohio are familiar with
all the details OF the business from the
roller boy up, and aside from the informa-
ton to be derived from Witnessing the i'm
proved machinery in operation in the va
rious cities visited and the beauties OF ma
ture as revealed in valley and mountain
scenery intervening, there is much useful
Information to the publisher picked up
here and there Oh weeks junketing tour
from the little squads assembled on the
train and in the hotels, discussing their
experience with irresponsible advertisers,
the mode OF dealing with delinquent sub.
scribers, what should and should not be
paid for in the local advertising of char
liable institutions, etc., etc.
zANEsvILLE.
Probably no better place than GAINESVILLE
could have been selected by the Executive
Committee for the annual meeting of the
Association, or one where they would have
| received heartier welcome. The enter
prise of the fraternity at Znnesvillo was
visible on every hand, and their efforts
were heartily seconded by the officials and
business men of the city. While the city
represents age-being the third eldest we
believe in the State, and full of historic
interest-it also represents many elements
OF beauty, wealth and modern enterprise.
The greater number of the brethren ar
rived at Zanesville on Tuesday, 18th, the
remainder arriving during the night and
early Wednesday morning, when about S5
answered to roll call. All were comferta-
bly, qnarlered and cared ior at the Zane
and Clarendon Hotels.
At A. NJ. the business meeting of the
Association was held in Gold Hall, where.
as such it was officially received and well
coined by Mayor Blockson, which is best
told in his own language, as follows:
al know speak the feelings Of the peo-
pie OF the city when | say they appreciate
the honor of being able TO entertain the
Ohio Editorial Association. The influence
OF the Press upon the public mind, no in
telligent person will deny. There is no
profession requiring so varied knowledge
as that OF the journalist, and whose judge
ment and opinion so many persons regard
Your conclusions upon all questions OF the
day, whatever they may be, your readers
have the right to believe are the result OF
research and reflection; and whatever
tends to elevate and perfect the Press ol
our country is public benefit, and should
be encouraged. During your deliberations
in our city, you will have the earnest sup
port OF our citizens, and we will endeavol
to make your stay one OF pleasure as well

1tis needless to say that after listening tc
this and the pleasant manner in which i
