to J. D. Reid this morning, it will be
placed in the hands of the right man.
He only recently returned from Scotland
for the express purpose of attending the
the Twin City celebrations. Labor OF
Love, you know he says.
When President Hope calls the meeting
to order and brings down his gavel to
say Here we are again, business VIII
be transacted, such as the election Of
officers and the like, after which some
one will be given the opportunity to
present the new chief executive OF the
telegraphers a gold medallion of Samuel
F. B. Morse, the original telegrapher
The medallion is presented to each new
president of the association
Mayor Robert A. Smith will then be
called upon and given an opportunity to
welcome the guests, which he will I'M
doubtedIy account one of the pleasing
duties that oft and again falls to the lot
of the executive of large city.
Senator c. K Davis, himself a mem
Der of the association, will them deliver
an address. 1t was originally intended
that he should speak at the banquet
Thursday evening, but circumstances
have altered cases.
AT IL a. M. the business meeting of the
United States Military Telegraph corps
will be held. Officers will be elected,
after which both associations will take
their luncheon.
The session of the military telegra piers
will not by any means be the least in
teresting. "reminiscences are connected
with almost every last man of them, +"
and they used the ticker" when 1t was
needed the most. The services rendered
by the old war veterans, the old knights
of the Key as they are called, had
much to do with the destiny Of the coun-
try. Many a battalion, many a regiment,
saw hard fighting because of orders by
wire.
The day will wind up with a trolley ride
to Fort Smelling. A. J. Rudd and E. w
Sloan being in charge.
