again we are too weak in words to ex
press the grandeur aud elegance of this
part of the programme. We did not hear
the tables ''groan" bursaw many an editor
look as if he had just stepped into the
Pearly Portals of Paradise, as they gazed
upon the grtndness of everything be
fore them. Everything that money
could buy or man wish for was there be
fore him, with number of Jackson's
whole souled gentlemen to welcome them
to everything. Toasts were drunk to
The Press Of Mississippi, to the South,
and everybody was happy and in good
hum~r and left with God bless Jack

supper room was elegantly ornamenteo
with evergreens and festoons of flower,
while the table was a model of beauty
and taste and laden with everything the

members of the Press, met ito chase the
glowing hours with flying feet" These
proceedings were protracted till a late,
very late hour.
A banquet at the Edwards House
Friday night, when toasts were drank

In all the associations experience nc
event will be so long remembered, and
none be more pleasing in retrospection.
The extensive array of good things
and kind words lavished upon US,
amounting to prodigality, are preserved
in our memory, and with such perma.
nance that the noble hearted people of
Jackson will never he forgotten, and
will never fail to meet with kindly well
come and wholesome cheer wherever
they may go throughout, our State. When
food for mental man was placed on the
board the mind of ''the moulders of pull :
lie opinion" was made to feel that Others
were as smart, if not smarter than the
newspaper man. and when physical
food was the order, the half-fed cOun
try editor stood aghast at the bountiful
board They lavished upon US unbounded
kindness in deed as well as in word, and
no one conld pass through the conven-
ton without leaving with burden of OBJ
legations that he felt could never be for
gotten and never be repaid.

The meeting of the Mississippi Pres
Association in Jackson last week, wa.
the grandest occasion that has occurred
there for years, and was certainly the
most harmonious meeting that the "quill
drivers of this State have ever held.
The Jacksonites took greater interest in
entertaining their distinguished visitors
than they had ever taken in anything of
the kind before, and succeeded in giving
them quite a royal reception.

To say it was one of the most pleasant
and delightful reunions we have atten
ded Is to put it tamely. Certainly We
anticipated and expected a jolly time
as we have always had at these meeting
but jackson went beyond the measure
and surpassed herself, The good pc,
pie of the capital city opened their hear. $
and homes and spared neither pains
nor expense to give Us royal reception.
Welcome was written on every face
it welled up from the heart with spon-
taneity like bub5ling waters from foul
tain permeating everything and making
everybody happy. The Jackson plan"
captured the press gang from the start
and held them willing prisoners to the
end.
The local press were unremitting in
their attention to their brethren and t.
them the and good people of Jackson we
again vote our thanks.
Before We close this notice we desire
to tender our special thanks to that
prince of good fellows, Mr.. G. F. Hem
ingwAy, cousin and assistant to Treas
urer W. l.. Hemingway, and his esti-
mable wife, under whose roof we were
while In Jackson. Certainly we
could not have fallen in better hands
nor where We could have been made to feel
more at home
We also tender thanks to Mr.. Con
Shenan and wife for many courtesies
while in the capital city. Mr.. Shean is
a large property holder there as well as in
Meridian and is a worthy citizen where
ever he lives.

The assembly of the Press Association
at the State Capital, will be remembered
by those who were in attendance as one
of the most agreeable of their experien.
ces. The citizens of jackson gave them
welcome that was as hospitable and
cordial as it was elegant in its absolute
lack of pretension or ostentation-the
lsteh strings were all ON the outside and
so arranged as to be reached without
graceless stretching or unbecomiEg tip
toeing, but there we're no obsequious
bell boys in sight, and no gong heaters
or horn blowers to dismalIy proclaim
a greeting that was written in smiles on
every face and silently telegraphed from
palm to palm by every hand that press
ed your own.
We have little to write in reference to
this reception for the journalists deal in
angles and salient points, and in this in.
stance everything was so smooth, so
placid, so uniformly pleasant, that We
can find nothiBg to 'scatch on to, as
the phrase goes. Everything moved
along so delightfully."- that we were OBJ
liy0us to the motion, and all of us un-
consciously imbibed the spirit of the oc-
casion and become so thoroughly identi-
fed with the town that We materialized
into hosts and felt all the responsibility
and anxiety that at such times usually
falls to the lot of the entertainers.
jackson acquitted herself last week in
manner that we hope was as satisfac-
tory to her own people as it va. delight
full and enjoyable to her guests.

The ball and supper given the press
gang at the Deaf and Dumb Institute
was grand success. The supper lacked
nothing-it was perfect in every respect
and no city need try to surpass it.
The pencil-pushers enjoyed the straw
berries furnished for the occasion by DR..
Mckay, the Strawberry king, and left
fully impressed that he is one of the
eieverest men in the State. The com
modious hall was magnifcently deco
rated, and the toilets of the ladies would
have done credit to the bellies of New
York.
