and boys triumphs the crop failures or their successes-all these the weekly ed- itor publishes and they are the backbone of his papers life-and the weekly editor goes serenely along life's triumphs, joices with the subscribers, mourns with them, and is as vital part of the paper as her partner with the pencil.
 How different Is the life and lot of the editor of the daily paper!
 Hurried, worried, haunted by the fear of ''the other" always "scooping'' him. Daily rehearsng, listening to and writ ing of the sordid, scanny side of life. Battle, murder and sudden death are the eist which the daily must be ground by the mill of the daily paper.
 Ever on the alert for news be it tragedy, comedy, sickness, disappoint- ment-all must daily pass in review before him, for the ever clamorous subscriber must have the latest" it matters not how little the editor may feel like kand- ling it.
 So when the tired brain demands a rest and a change, the editor of the daily paper is glad to leave the sordidness and
 
 something he hasn't in his every day life. Brunswick feels sensible of the honor that has twice been hers, of being chosen as the place which these two separate and distinct classes of the newspaper fra ternity have chosen for their recreation and pleasure.
 The mayor, the City Council and tho committee have looked forward with pleasure to the visit of the Alabama brethren, and The Journal expresses the hope that, for the day at least, ali care, worry and anxiety may be laid aside. and the simple pleasures provided may be of such an enjoyable nature as to make visit next year a thing to look forward to with joyful anticipation.
 The Journal office will be glad to well come any of the visitors who may long for the smell of the ink, the rattle of the press and the delightful possibilities of a juicy scoop We trust your trip will be of such material benefit that you may all return strengthened in mind, body and faith in humanity.
