Saturday , June 15 , 1907.
Ainsworth is a pleasant little
village down the road , 47 miles
from Valentine. The editorial as
sociation had decided to meet there
this year in June and a number of
the bo.ys from up and down the
country were there. It is a time
when the editor lays aside his
work and business cares for a day
to get together with his craft and
rejoice over the year's blessing or
find comfort and solace from im
parting to his fellowmen his woes
and sorrows.
It. is a pleasure similar to that
we used to look- forward to in
youth when we were loaded into
the big wagon and drove several
miles across the country to visit
with relatives that we hadn't seen
for a year. It meant a big time
and a change of food something
good to eat and nothing to do un
til we got back home.
Our editorial meetings mean ev
en more , if possible , now than
those visits of the early days , the
we enjoyed the visits then , as all
3oys and girls experience in leav
ing home and its duties for a day
or two. It gave us new life , renew
ed vigor and inspiration , food for
3ody and soul and pleasant recol-
ections. The things said and
done were not all of the gratifica
tion from being together and away
: rom home.
When , for awhile , we forget the
old crooked trail with its rocks ,
stumps , hills and thickets that
seem to have grown crookeder ,
rockyer , stumpier , hillier and
denser with long incessant travel
and plodding , we learn of other
paths and of others1 successes and
! ailures , which enlighten many of
the burdens we struggled under
pefore.
These are some of the benefits
derived from getting away fuom
lome. It broadens your field of
abor and acquaintances. It is
true of farmers as well as of busi
ness ren. Yon can't derive the
fullest benefit of life by staying
at home all the time. Come to
town , or if you are in town , go
out into the country occasionally.
Ainsworth people are as good
as any on earth and gave us a roya.1
reception. They were busy dur
ing the day with their duties , but
found time to come to the evening
reception and banquet , which was
given in their opera house by the
ladies.
Jt is a fair sample of the beauty
and ability of the Ainsworth
daughters , and we have no doubts
to the contrary. No young man
need be ashamed that he found his
lady love there. A bright intelli
gent class of women , young and
old. were there and stayed until
late , enjoying the evening which
was pleasantly spent at the ban
quet table , and afterward follow
ing the music in mind or step , the
while pleasantly chatting and vis
iting with esteemed friends arid ac
quaintances.
A.V. . Scattergood was toast-
r"
master of the evening and tool ?
his place at the head of the twc
long tables , reaching the length of
the house , and a table across the
end in front. 150 or 200 persons

were present. Several choice se
lections of music by the orchestra ,
by Mrs. Scattergood and a quartet
by four Peck sisters were well re-
cei/ed. Recitations and readings
by different persons , interspersed
by toasts , held our attention f ol
io v ng ; the banquet. Mr. Snow ,
a C tadron editor , gave a toast to
the .adies. Mrs. Ackerman pleas
antly responded with a toast for
the men.

Reminiscences.
R. S. Rising , formerly editor
of the Star-Journal , was around j
on the street with his automobile , |
( a two-seat , 20 h. p. Rambler with
cover ) hauling the ladies to and
from the opera house , and found
time to take several editors out
for a ride about town.
UBcle'Robt. Martin got out with
his martial band to give ths edi
tors a welcome. It made us think
of the good old times in boyhood
on the Fourth of July. Uncle
Martin's band would like to cele
brate in Valentine this year. We
hope arrangements can be made
for them to come.
The delayed trains kept some
editors from attending the meet
ing.
ing.A
A splendid and interesting pro
gram was carried out at the edi
tors business session\ which
nearly every editor had a part or
took part in the discussion follow
ing some paper or subjects which
came up for discussion. Man.v
were there and many were absent.
We notice some new men in the
field while others have dropped
out or gone to other fields of la
bor. Glad to get acquainted with
all new members.
At the election of oflicors for the
ensuing . \ear , our friend John M.
Cotton of Ainsvvorth was elected
president. W. II. Green of Oeigh-
! ton , vice president , and I. M. Rico ,
: seer etar.v-U'pasurer.
Valentine was selected as tin-
next place of holding their , meet
ing which will be held here next.
