VIRGINIA EDITORS.
AnInteresting Meeting at Bris-
tol Anticipated.

James A. Pugh, of THE TIMES, presi-
dent of the Virginia Press Association.
has accepted an invitation from tho
chamber of commerce of Bristol.
to hold the next annual meeting
OF the association in that CITY, and
named Thursday November II as
the time. This is ratber late in
the season, but it is desired not 10
f, Interfere with the agricultural fairs and
the canvass for the general assembly.
In which the members of the association
are interested. BY fixing the date of
the meeting late the railroads can more
easily transport tho members, and it
was also in Difference to the wishes of
the management of several that this
was done.
The president is arranging a most
interesting programme. Invitations
Will be extended to-General Frank Hat
ten, OF the Washington Post, and Col. A.
Is. Mcclure, of the Philadelphia Times,
to attend at Bristol and deliver ad
dresses on topics Of interest to the
knights Of the Quill Is. g. Herbert,
editor OF the National Journalist at
Chicago, the organ of the National Edi-
torial Association, will be present and
speak on Association Works" Mai.
Jed. Hotchkiss, of the Shenandoah
News, writes the president that he will
deliver an address somewhat on the
same line OF his celebrated lecture on
Virginias Industrial Future at Rich
mond last November. Papers will be
read by several editors who have not
yet given their subjects.
vice-president Eddy, of tho Norfolk
and western, has expressed wish to
have the members of the association re-
turn over the Clinch Valley route. The
Pocahontas coal fields, Graham and
Bluefed. Vice. president Fitz-Hugh of
the association, is in receipt of an invi-
tation to visit the State fair at Dallas,
Texas, and many members have ex-
pressed desire to go to the Lone Scar
State
The Indications arc that tho 1891 ses-
sion OF tho association will be largely
attended and the work enjoyable and
profitable in it's history. 4 great deal
OF work is being mapped out. A com
mlttee will be sent to the next gen.
eral assembly to secure amend
ments to the existing libel
laws, and something like fair
rate for the publication of delinuuent
tax lists, the reports of boards of sup
ervisors, etc. Some action will also be
taken with reference to foreign adver-
Using agents, as the commissions eX-
acted by them are considered too high.
The association will, no doubt, take
strong position in favor of n liberal
appropriation by the general assembly
to enable Virginia to have 4 creditable
exhibit of her resources at the Worlds
Fair, and such changes in tho present
system of laws rs will mako the oyster
beds source of large revenue to tho
State. Committees will be appointed,
it is thought, to urge this much needed
legislation.

JUNIOR MECHANICS.

Summit Council No. 81 held its regular
communication last Thursday evening.
Mr.. Uhl was initiated; considerable bust
ness was done. Officers were nominated
ana will be elected on Thursday evening.
June Is. The council urgently requests
every member TO be present at the next
meeting. Brothers Benson, Conway,
De Ava, HoIlely. Moore and several
other members have not attended lodge
meetings very often of late and it has
seriously handicapped the meetings.
Every member should try and attend
every meeting If possible. The treasurer
was not present last meeting and
thus delayed the secretary s report. Sum-
NIT will have its new regalia for the next
meeting. Nearly ali the SUBMITS mem
bers intend to go on the excursion on
July IA. Brother Drayton, of Clinton,
and State Deputy Dingwall and several
other brothers. Were at SUBMITS last
meeting. The members were very glad
to see them, and hope to see them again
soon. The trustees of Summit Council
are looking for a lodge room near Bergen
avenue ard Montgomery street. A plan
is Oh foot for all the members of the dit
ferent councils to wear emblematic
badges on the excursion, as it will show
off TO advantage and also greatly adver-
tise the order Brother Eldridge of In
dustry sports badge and a charm. He
is frequently taken for a prominent mem
DeEs0L anOtn6f Order.
There is no reason why the Jr. O. u.
A. NJ. cannot grow in Bergen, as there is
no better. safer and sounuer order than
this. Every American born young man
who is eligible should look into this
order as it pays S. per week sick benefits
and $3.50 funeral benefit from the Ma
tional Society at cost of only IS per year
for dues and 81 for membership.
Several propositions are on deck for to
DE acted upon at SUBMITS next meet
ing.
Parties holding tickets for the basket
party Of Summit Council are requested
TO make returns at once to Brother Fry.
Brother Everett Gray Is slated for the
position OF Councillor of Summit
The Conrt of Orient was held last
night in Odd Fellows Hail. A number
of candidates were initiated and a most
enjoyable meeting was held.
A brother visited Summit Council last
Thursday night and announced that he
WAS "A Windy man from Industry" AS
he was a good organist, his life was
spared.
The 'inimitahle Harry Drayton was
seen in all his glory last Thursday even
ing. He had the excursion along with
him.
Brother Hagone will probably grace the
Vice Councillors chair during the coming
term.
The next meeting will be election night
in most of the councils. There is not
much excitement this term. and in most
cases only one candidate for each office
Ii tickets for the excursion on July IA
continue TO sell as rapidly as they are now
doing, the committee will need another

CADETS nl TEMpERANoE.

Eureka Section will hold q reception in
their rooms on the last Wednesday in
this month. Several of the Sections have
been invited to participate. and good
time may be expected.
Hudson Section will visit the Epworth
League of the Simpson NJ. &. Church on
Monday evening.
Fisk Section will visit Iyanhoe in a
body on Thursday next, June 18th. All
Cadets are invited to be present.
The picnic on Staten Island on July
4th are assuming large proportions. The
latest suggestion is that the Cadets make
arrangements to attend in stage coaches.
Committees have been appointed by the
various Sections.
The boys of Hudson Section are look.
ing forward TO the time when they will
receive printed copies of their bylaws.
Brother Mckee makes a model w. A.

during the coming week and they are
particularly requested 20 I'LL them III and
return 10 e.. S. us soon as possible
Fisk Section will clean out all their
dead wood, and still have quite a large
number of active members.
Don't be too hard on the Treasurer. He
is doing his level best, and when he mott
fies you that you are in arrears don't fly
at his face and indignantly deny that You
are behind. Don't sarcasticaliy remark
| that he Is slowly becoming q millionaire.
Rather sit down and calmly figure out
how many meeting nights you have been
absent and how many you have attended
and not paid anything Presently You
will find that you must be behind. Then
go aud pay up. and make il a point
always to keep paid up TO date. By doing
this You will avoid many misundersiand-
ings and retain the friendship of your
hard worked officers.
Eureka will soon be exhibiting por-
| trait of their section taken in body.
| Copies will be valuable as sovenirs when
"Charlie' and tBennie" are elected
President and Vice. President of the

this is a good idea and one which the
other section could profit by. 1t is limited
that Brothers Kenneth Dingwall and Ed
