BRO. Whitney of the Marshall
ws-Messenger was unable to at
tend the editorial meeting last week,
on account of sickness in his family.
He says: The Southwestern Editor
ial convention was grand success,
and the best the association has yet
held. Mayor Shell of Worthington
banqueted the editors and their la
dies, excellent speeches we're made,
and the local press evidenced that no
mistake had been made in the selec-
ton of place for the gathering. We
regret exceedingly that illness in our
family made it impossible to be pres
emit with the pen weilders and pencil
pushers.
Sibley Tribune: The editors Of
the Southwestern Minnesota Editor
ial Association met at Worthington,
Tuesday, and Tribune scribe, know
ing from experience the genial quail
ties and fellowship existing among
our brethren up there, took advan-
tage of the convenient opportunity to
attend. The people of Worthington
entered fully into the spirit of the
occasion with the members of the
Worthington press, Bros. Eastwood,
Smith and Nicholson. and the result
was one of the most pleasant and
profitable sessions ever held by the
association. At $3.50 p. M. a dozen
or more carriages met the quill push
ers as they arrived at the depot and
were driven over the beautiful city by
the LAKE while it's peculiar attractions
were pointed out. The Tribune scribe
went with the genial Fred Mason, of
the Worthington Hay Company, be-
hind his fine team Of three minute
PAGERS, and while holding our hair on
and keeping the flying mud out OF
our neck, we also noted down the
neat improvements and advancing
growth of Worthington. The great
new S45, 900 court house took the eye
of all as it doomed up in all its gran.
deur, and few of the "gang'' also
got into the new $4,000 Jail building
and most of them got out again. The
elegant school house would do credit
to large city, and the many beauti
i full residences in the town were vel
worth noting. The splendid family
OF Rev. Robert McCune entertained
us pleasantly during the day, and ir
the evening, bv invitation, all the ed
itoas, with many of the home people
attended royal reception and ban
quet at the elegant home of Mayor
Daniel Shell, who is, by the way, q
brother of Sibley's L. Shell, and .
leading candidate for speaker of the
next House of Representatives in
Minnesota. Assisted by his charm
ing wife and daughter, Mr.. Shell
made each guest feel SO easily al
home that the occasion will always
be noted as one of the most successful
social events ever witnessed. in
Worthington. Orchestra music, sing
ing and speaking we're freely indulg
ed in until the hours passed all toe
quickly. Eastwood, of the ADVANCE
made model POSTMASTER, while bis
colleague, Mr.. Smith, of the Globe
looked out for everybody, with the
able assistance of Sherm Bellesfield
of the Herald, whose boss, Mr.. Mich
olson, was suffering the agonies OF
broken limb, much to the regret o.
J all present.
