FULLER FOR CHAIRMAN.
Mr.. Ordway Puller, prominent young
leader from Monroe Ward will, 1t is pretty

wonderful strength among the delegates
since the mention Of his name.
The delegates aternates and visitors are
invited to bring their lady friends as there
will be ample room in the well-adapted
hail. and all will be welcome.
Iardella's splendid band has been engaged
to intersperse the convention proceedings
with sweet music. and comb ming this with
the hieh-class or oratory which will flow
from the lips of eloquent speakers, the
programme arranged Is a most attractive
one and will no doubt draw a large crowd
of spectators.
