The above names do not, OF course,
include all who were present. Indeed,
IT omits the names of those charming
adiuncts to all social occasions, the
ladies', and we refrain from giving
them only because there being no roll
to gather them from we do not like to
run the risk of seeming forgetfulness in
emitting any. We shall, however, be
pardoned if we record the presence OF
personal friends of long standing in
Mesdames Jacks, McRae, Crandall,
Kinley, Keller and Mansfield, and Miss
Nellie, daughter of Mr.. w. l.. Thomas
So much, very inadequately, for a per-
sonnet that only needs to be mentioned
in order to indicate the ~pleasantness OF
their as~semblsge. A word as to the
place of meeting: 1t was a revelation
to the editors, their wives, daughters
or sweethearts. as the case might be.
Very few OF them knew that there was
in Missouri so lovely a spot as Pertle
Springs. But two years old AZ a resort,
its spacious, we'll appointed, and adj
mirably conducted hotel, its beautiful
~ undulating grounds, its charming
lakes, its spacious halls and houses for
all purposes of usefulness and recrea-
ton, and last, but not least, its life
renewing waters, combine to make OF il
all ideal resting place for weary
humanity, an oasis amid the over
whelming sands of pressing affairs.
MIR. J. H.. Christopher, the proprietor,
is liberal, progressive, and the very
ideal of courtesy, so that nothing is LETT
undone to render guests comfortable
and happy. The two days spent by
the editors at Pertle Springs will long
be remembered as among the most
pleasant ever enjoyed by their associa-
ton, and a lesson that in such reunions
are to be found the best of all that cal
be reaped from the existence OF the
society. This Is emphasized by the fac
that beside the social advantages of the
meeting more practical benefits are
likely to follow from it than from any
session held tor y number of years
The visits to the Normal school, to thu
uuarries and % rs: .'aatf.c springI
deserve scpa,s = . which W
shall enuoavor u Z ge hereafter.
