The state editorial association will
meet in Morgantown this year. The
date of the convention Is the 1lth Of
May. They will be in business SEES
sion for two days and spend one
day in pleasure excursions. This is
the second time that the association
has met in Morgantown and their
visit will be greatly appreciated by
the local brethren while all the peo-
pie of the town will unite to give
them welcome.
This is probably the most import
ant state gathering that has ever
met in Morgantown. Within the
past year we have been unusually
honored in The state organizations
which have held sessions here But
none OF them compare in Importance
with the assembling of the clans of
thought moulders and directors of
public opinion.
A reception committee has been
appointed or will be- They will
meet the editors as they arrive and
direct them to the hotels where they
are to stay during the time they are
here. An arrangement committee
is hard at work getting things N
shape for the meeting and nothing
will be left undone to make the stay
of the quill drivers here very
pleasant one.
The mayor will deliver an address
of welcome which will be responded
to on the part of the association by
Me president, }, Slidell Browne the
Kingwood Argus. The meetings
will be held in Commencement Hall
and will be open to the public. Sew
eral of the University authorities
among them Dr. Raymond will adj
dress the meeting during their
stay. A steamboat ride down the
river will also take place on the last
day of the session. On the return
of tn boat banquet will be served
at the Wallace House This is to be
most elaborate affair.
During the meetings papers will
be read by the best informed OF the
delegates on the different subjects OF
interest to the craft The poet will
read poem and the historian will
recite the incidents which have oc-
Cured during the past year.
There are about one hundred and
fifty papers in the state. OF these
one hundred and twenty five are ex.
peeted to be repres nted here. The
editors will represent every part Of
the state and every shade of politi-
cal opinion. Their coming will mean
much to the town and especially te
the Universits which is especially
DESTROYS that they come. They will
come here and see just what "a mag.
nificent institution we have and will
go back home full of University en-
thusiasm. The resultant good tc
the school will be incalculable.
The town and everyone concerned
is to be congratulated ON the ap
preaching session of the editors and
they will see to it that their guests
have as good time as it is possible
One thing is certain, we won't have
any ten barrels of mineral water tc
add to the festivities of the occasion
as they did at Weston Something's
may be bourne by the association
but the line is tightly drawn al
mineral water.
