THE BANQUET assn
was decided success. 1t was held
at the Rees House, over which w,
II. Boswell presides with eminent
satisfaction to his guests. The or
namentation of the banquet hall
and a the taoies was quite attractive,
the menu and service were first
class, the association pleasing and
elevating. Eighty-six guests were
present. In addition to the local
representation we're:

Some of the responses could have
been abbreviated without detract-
ing from their merit, yet every
speech was to us interesting, and
each called forth hearty applause.
Concerning this and other menus
we remark that a guest does not
have to eat everything set before
him. Discretion is sometimes the
better part-if ne wises TO avoid
headache, restlessness and night
mare.
If OUR OWN comfort had been the
only one considered, there would
have been no cigars, for to us to-
bacco using in all it's forms is lnJu-
rious. But the pleasure and conf
fort of the many must not be sac
rihced for one or few who may be
of peculiar taste.
The only thing that revealed the
presence or use of spirits OF any
kind, either in the hotel lobby or
the BANQUET hall was a small guam
tity of LIQUID in the Roman punch.
This we did not take. Ofone thing
we are thoroughly convinced and
TO it we bear grateful testimony; /.
e. it is possible for about 100 bust
ness men to assemble at and partske
of a banquet without there being
any drunkenness, debauch, profsR
ity or vulgarity, or the use of in
toxicants.
We do not claim to have seen and
heard EVERYTHING, but so far as ouf
observation went we saw or heard
nothing that would offend Chris
tian gentlemen.
We would that more of the pub
lie functions were so sPnducted
Perhaps some men will learn some
day
The meeting was pronounced q
success, and we hope will be OF per
manent value in furthering the de-
sires and plans of the Commercial
interests and development of oul
neighboring town. lti-
