Ed. Northwestern: I would like to call the attention of your readers to a few facts In regard to our League convention that commences on Tuesday evening next. In the first place It is not as some suppose, a gathering of ministers only. In fact there Is not a solitary preacher or preacher,* wife holding any of the nine offices or the convention. The president is a business man in Kearney. His associate officers are comity treas urers, bankers, merchants, tcrchers In public schools, and druggists. Most of them are young, as In faet most of the delegates aye. They have nearly all succeeded well, so far in life. They come to us for a visit. They come in the lirst place to attend the convention. But they will see ami hear many thing* outside of that. How shall we impress them? Bather what impression do wo desire they w ill carry away with them of our town. 1 trust and believe that it will be a good one. Then we have speaker* and let me again remind yon that they are not by any means ail preachers. We need to know them, and wc would like them to know us and be able to speak well of us. They have visited, some of them, the largest cities In our land. We can not hope to make them remember us because of the size of our town, hut we may compel them to remember us be cause ef our enthusiasm, kindness and generosity. W. E. Matthews.
