The third annual meeting oftin Elkhoru Valley Editorial Assocfatioi took place in Ainsworth last Saturday about 30 active vrorkers in the news paper field being present. The meet ing was by long odds the best evei held , especially from a business stand point. The program was carried ou almost in its entirety , and the after noon session was a veritable feat o : wit and wisdom. Lack of space alom prevents us from giving a detailed ac count , but suffice it to say that froa : the welcoming address of the lion. L , K. Alder to adjournment , everything was good. In the evening a banquet was served at Rising's Hall , 100 covers being laid and the feast was a marvel , surpassing many we have partaken of in largei cities. The success of this portion o ] the entertainment was due to the heroic labors of the menu committee , Mesdames Howe , Porter and Bailey , assisted by Mrs. Rice and eight young ladies , and these ladies deserve to be placed on the ufree list' ' of every news paper man who partook of the feast. The closing act of the association was the adoption ot the following reso lutions : WHKUKAS , The third annual meeting of the Elkhorn Valley Editorial Association convened in Ainsworth on Saturday , JuueS , 1899 , and WIIEUEAS , Said meeting has proven an ui.- bounded success and has been most thoroughly enjoyed by each and every member of said as- bociation , and WHEUEAS , The citizens of Ainsworth by their hosuitality and good-fellowship have been in strumental In contributing to the success of the meeting , therefore be it RESOLVED.

The buildings are chock full of fine exhibits. The Indina Congress better than last year.

Many Years of Success In the Correct Adaption of Lenses to All Forms of Impaired Sight. Dr. Seymour brings with him the most complete line of scientific instru ments for thoroughly diagnosing and correcting all known errors of refrac tion that have ever been collected by one man in his profession.
