on yesterday, the editors ot West Vlr'
ginia had complete possession of ClarkH'
burg to-day. 1t is no stretch OF the
truth to say that never before in the
history Of the editorial association has
q meeting been 90 largely attended, and
never before has 1t been so royalty en-
tertained. Clarksburg people have We'd
with each other in the effort to make
the stay Of the "molderS OF public opiu-
ion" as pleasant as possible. That they
have succeeded is the enthusiastic testl-
mony OF all the city'S guests tonight
The prosperous aud enterprlsing town
has never appeared to better advantage,
aud the hospitality for which the peo-
plo are proysrbial has been fully DEM
onstrated.
1t was happy thought Of President
s. F. Reed to time the meeting to the
occasion Of the opening Of the new
Traders hotel, which has just been
completed at cost OF more than
hundred thousand dollars, but II was q
still happier thought in the enlerprls.
ing citizens who compose the Traders
Company to signalizs the inauguration
Of the building by keeping open house
during the two days visit ot the editors
and rendering them tho perfect tree-
dom OF the establishment, for it has
sent them home with good aud lasting
impressions OF Clarksburg aud the
splendid monument the company has
built for itself.
A COMPLETE INeT1TUTIoN.
A word as to tho monument. II 1t a
handsome modern structure Of buff
brick, three stories high, occupies a
half square and contains, besides one
Of the best appointed hotels in the
couutry, q beautiful banking room,
which is occupied by the TrAdOrS'
Bank, and perfect gem OF an up.to-date
opera house. The latter iS more mod
eru than anything Wheeling can boast
OF. The stage appointments are perfect
aud tho scenes and frescoiug are the
work Of the best artists Of New York
and ST. Louis, The hotel where the
editors have been entertained has no
superior in the state" aI one Of the
brethren expressed 1t to-day. The
table and service is superb, every meal
being banquet in itself. The 1raderS'
company evidently set itself to show ita
appreciation Of the fact that the editor
is a proverbially hungry Individual.
The second days session oil the edt'
toral meeting began with l05 Of tue en-
rolled members present, and the busi.
ness lasted all day. Not much OF II was OF
general public interest, however, relat-
ing principally TO matters that only
the profession is interested in.
