 I'd. Givens paper was by odds the hnest and most sensible production of the meeting. It was evident that ;t met general appreciation. and we hone the advice given will be acted upon. The orator-laureate of the A. P. A is McDaniels, who is always loaded with something good and knows how to deliver himself. He hit several bulls eyes in his talks and we hope what he said will be needed.

 Miss Willie Hicks appeared to be by
 unanimous consent the daughter of the association" And she merits rec. ognltlon, for she is not only in face and
 form pretty, but bright of mind. afable in manners, and always a lady. The pencil pushers enjoyed ball a, the Arlington, even though but few actually participated. However, with their proverbial liberality they devoted

 The new president promises some needed rpfnrt1nc ua r1. l cordial cooperation of every member. I especially the officers. These annual meetings should be productive of tan. gible results. The business of the craft should receive the most earnest consid. eration, the pleasure and picnic features
 being made secondary.
 The politician came in for n good scoring by Gardner, Givens, Mcdaniel Colburn and others, and if half the promises made by members are kept
 there will in the future be no dead.

 The committee on legislation has | world of work ahead, and if it does it's | duty the results must necessarily be | felt by every publisher in the state, and
 in substantial way. In no state are the laws so unjust to the printers as in l Arkansas. Legal protection to the fraternity in the way of rates and the publication of new laws are needed
 and if the matter is properly brought
 to the attention of the Legislators our ! claims cannot be ignored.

 The formality of issuing trip passes
 was waived by Mir. Fred A. Bill, of the Hot Springs Railroad, and everybody
 who looked hungry was allowed to
 ride free. This order of things was
 understood to be plain token of well come, and ye editors all smiled and
 looked happy. There is but one Hot | Springs Railroad and but one railroad
 to Hot Springs. It is the biggest little | road, however, in this or any other state, and Col. Bill is its auditor. local | treasurer and general passenger and
 freight agent He will some day be

 agent of the Missouri Pacific and Iron
 Mountain systems. His name appears on more trip passes than all the other roads together, and when it ] comes to an excursion he comes do vn ! here and looks after all the details. In i fact, an Arkansas editors excursion without Allison would be like the play I of Hamlet with Hamlet eliminated. A new man with us, but one who will
 not soon be forgotten, is the representa- | tive of the great Wabash railway, whose
 system covers the country north of St.
 Louis most thorougly-Mr w. D. Wood, who accompanied the two Pullman cars and with Allison got all
 in shape for the trip to Niagara Falls. 1 The "Mister' was soon dropped and 'sBillyn was substituted, as Wood soon l ''got next" In fact he put up contest
 with Allison for popularity. MT. l Wood accompanied the excursion all 1 the way, arranging an elegant program 1 at the falls, on the lakes, in the cities, etc The Wabash was most generous,
 indeed. We tip our tiles to all these railway officials, and promise to ride on their lines as often as possible, and advise our readers to do likewise.
