Gentleman Minus a Neektie Is Thought.
fully Presented With Gorgeous
Scarf BY Fellow Admirers.

The ticket agents endeavored to get
OFF on schedule time this morning; then
came an attempt to run a stub, but
II was an hour after scheduled time
ere the entire crew reported for duty.
| Instead OF the convention being called
| toorder at 10 a. m. It was II O'clock
before the president raped for attcn-
| ton.
The business this morning consisted
of the election of the members of the
executive committee, the reading Of
various reports and the appointment
OF committee on resolutions. Not
the least pleasing feature of the morn
lng's session was the presentation to
j. ~ Murray of Glasgow KY, Of a
I1ecktie. II appears that Murray got
up In q hurry this morning in order
to be at the convention hall on time.
In the rush he mislaid his neck gear
and accordingly appeared In the con-
yention hall minus that finishing touch
to an otherwise correct attire. His
fellow ticket agents took In the situa-
ton and with thoughtfuness proceeded
10 dispatch a special messenger to a
q brilliant red scarf was the result.
Mr. Cary's remarks We're most touch
Ing as he made the presentation on the
part Of his fellow ticket sellers, and
drew tears to the eyes OF the auditors.
Mr.. Murray appeared TO be quite over
come with emotion.
After this pleasing incident the con-
vention adjourned TO meet again next
year at q place and time yet to be
designated by the executive commit
tee.
one OF the first things to be under
taken at this mornings session was the
reading of a number OF communications
from absent members, the Chattanooga
board OF trade extending invitation for
the next convention, the Worlds Fair
and the Cleveland chamber OF COM
merce. The next business undertaken
was the appointment of delegate TO
attend the convention of the General
Passenger Agents association at New
orleans. Oct 10. After discussion II
was decided to leave the appointment
Of a delegate to the president and Sec
rotary, with power to act. II was
also decided that the topic chosen for
discussion at this meeting should be
Ticket Selling" with few sugges-
lions thrown In in the direction of
lHe SlInDllUCdNlpn Ol Tue eNlslHR UTlUl-
ed tickets used for special excursions.
Following this discussion, in which
the sentiment was expressed that II
would not be out Of place ito give em
a whack,' as one delegate put It, when
discussing the propriety OF furnishing
pointers on the way to draw UP tickets
to the assembled general passenger
agents, the ballotlng for members OF the
executive committee was undertaken
with the sQuel that the following were
declared elected
W. Il. Peters, McKeesport, Pa. u.
Smith. West Chicago; w II Cary,
Emory. Miss; and j. j. Cation, Green
vile. N. II.
