meeting at Cerulean Springs this week.
The gathering was one of the largest
and best held in several years, this be-
ing the forty-second annual meeting.
The members with their wives and
frie nds' gathered in Louisville Monday
and took special train over the Ill
inois Central at noon. Publishers liv-
ing in the western part of the state
boarded the train at different points
along the route. The train with the
editors attracted considerable attention
as it arrived at the various stations
along the route, especially at Prince
ton, where the editors were invited to
enjoy the hospitality of the citizens.
Arriving at Cerulean Springsthe edi-
tors found that John S. Lawrence of
the Cadiz Record, chairman of the en-

| fried chicken was awaiting the editors
upon their arrival at the Cerulean
Springs hotel.

of Southwestern Kentucky, during the
week, where the gates of hospitality
were flung wide open.

bowling contests during the week,
euchre games during the cool evenings
and prize awarded to the handsomest

have had since the famous tour through
Canada, via Battle Creek, Mich, In
1908. do not forget the memorable
entertainment given us at Hopkinsville
in 1908, on the occasion of our former
meeting here at Cerulean Springs. But
when we recall the endless demands
upon our time by the Middlesboro peo-
pie. who supplied our party with four
solid days of fun and frolic, food and
shelter, electric, sun and moonshine,

dollars and all their time upon us, 1t Is
not out of place here to bear testimony
TO the greatheartedness and progressive
spirit of the people of the Magic city OF
eastern Kentucky.

and devoted John Lawrence and the
Hopkinsville brethren. Adown the
