Pleasant Visitors from Dubuque.

1 SASeAANSe
Monday, the day set for the Man
chester visit of the Dubuque job
bers, Manufacturers and Bankers
Association representatives,, dawned
with a murkiness in the air that
made it seem well-nigh impossible
that the enthusiasm, which was later
manifested, could be aroused. How
ever, as it neared the hour for the
coming Of our guests it was with
pleasant anticipation that we looked
to their coming. A large number
of Manchester's representative citi-
zens met the delegation and escorted
them in carriages or on foot about
the city and thus under most intel
ligent guidance they saw the beauty,
met the trade and noted the resour-
ces Of the Dairy City of Iowa. There
were about seventy five of the visit
ing party, which number included a
band Of twenty pieces, and the
gentlemen travelled in magnif-
cent train of four cars, the appoint
ments of each of which seemed per-
lection. The first car was buffet
and library car, the last an observa-
ton car and the other two were ele-
gantly furnished sleepers. A num-
Der of the visitors were entertained
in private homes, Captain Merry's
beautiful home being HOSPITALITY
