pie of Union.
This is a most delightful place in
which to hold the annual meetings of
the association. Til" hotel is large
and pleasant and the management is
most excellent | have not heard
complaint from any OF the members
since we have been here. Mr.. 4. STAN
lev Stanford has been very attentive
and his service is all that could be eN-
pected In fact, when we can secure
good service like this it is desirable
and advantageous that the assocla-
ton should hold its meetings where
all of the members can be together
for in this way we derive the greatest
benefit from the social side of the
gathering.
1t is the purpose Of the manage
ment to invite the association to meet
here another year. / presume we will
also have invitations from Greenville,
Union, and possibly one or two other
places.

ern railway will have meeting here
