The annual meeting of the Texas Press Association w»* brought to an end last night in a blaze of glory. The reception and banquet will remain in the memory of tttfe member» of the association as a hap py culminating event of the most successful meeting ever held. After finishing the routine work yesterday afternoon and adjourning the visitors were given carriage drives over the city. As was antic ipated this proved to be an interest ing feature of the entertainment, many places of interest being vis ited. The compliment*?/reception ten-1 dered the association by the ladies of the Shakespeare Club began promptly at eight o'clock. This was without doubt the most brilliant social function ever seen in W'λχ· atiachie. There were no social· committees, but the ladies received in general and in an informal man ner. Besides tfce members of the club many other ladies and gentle men of the city assisted in receiv ing. As the visitors entered the elegant lodge room of the Elks they j were given a warm welcome. A handshake, a smile, a few words of greeting and the guests were made , to feel perfectly at ease. The recep lion lasted until nearly ten o'clock. This reception was a happy thought \ and an appropriate conception of the : Bhakeg(>eare menders. It not only | afforded the visitors an opportunity I to meet and form the acquaintance j of the \\ axahacliie people, hut it served as a delightful place to as·· henible and go to the banquet hall in j it body Delicious nectar was served from two bowls. The banquet which followed the j reception was elaborate in all its details and proved to l>e a most pleasurable affair It was after ten o'clock when the banqueters #«s»m· hk'd around the festal board and for three hours there was a "feast of reason and flow of soul. The l>tttij>uet hall was artistically decorated with hunting, long stream ers heing crossed and Interwoven beneath the celling. There mere just enough palms and flowers to give the fccene a pleasing appearance. Music was furnished by the Wise Orchestra, and to the sweet strain* which thrilled the feasters with ecstasy, a most tempting menu was discussed. Hon. C larenc· S Ousley acted as toa«ttma*t«r and right well and gracefully lui I» perform this duty Mr. Ousley said he Lad been re-j quested to indulge iu memories of Waxahachie, but said the subject was too sacred for him to attempt. Since he had first come to Waxa hachie buys and girl- who werechll dron then had reached manhood and womanhood. He said he ! ad travel ed ο*■ er a great deal,of Texas and I ad stern many of 1 er fair cltie», but he had returned to Waxahachie, the best of them all. He had demon strated in his travels tl at the beet place after all Is where we :*re. To «U m up, he said his e*;>erlence bad been that to tiave hospitable people, abundant culture, beautiful homes aiid refined society was al ways Waxahachie's way Mr. Ous ley theu proposed the toust, "Wax ahachle aud the Press Association,' to which Judge Dunlap responded. Judge Duulap spoke of Kills cuuntT as an agricultural county and said that she raised oue-fltth of the cotton of the state. He close·! his remarks with a neat tribute to 1 the newspapers of the state. Mrs J. C. Robert·, of Texas Far mer, Dallas, res|»ouded to "The Newspaper Woman, Her Jove and Sorrow·." Mr·. Robert·ie a pleas ant speaker and her effort made a happv hit. Prof. W. L. Aceer, the talented young (superintendent of the city public schools, spoke eloquently on the subject of "The Press and the Public School." He showed that the press and the public schools are closely allied, and aside from re ligion they were the mightiest fac tors in the world for influence and good. The primary aim of the school should he to train boys and girls for the avocations of life, and where the school ends the press should begin. The press and public school are the «worn enemies of ignorance and superstition and the moat potent factors for good known to the world. Mr. Acker's address was short, but it contained many excellent points that should be 'given careful consideration. There were many expressions of praise for his speech. Congressman Jack Keall respond ed in his usual characteristic happy vein to the toast "The Newspaper in Politics." Mr. Heall's ability as an orator is well known and his speech last night added new '<surels to his brow. He said you could not think of a newspaper man without tanking of politics. He is suppos ed to know everything, and if he does not he pretends to and that accomplishes about the same pur pose. When he goes into politics lie is monarch of all he surveys. He must know everything of the past and present and know what's to come. The newspaper man is a power in politics and weilds an exten teeeive influence. The newspaper man in politics always stands for that which is right, againet that which is wrong. H·· can mould and shape p i hi ic · at ( is will and in c -mbaUm? < it·· and promot ing good ! e η»·\ >-r become* a pessi mist Mr Heail'« concluded one of the niost elaborate banquets ever spread in the city. Two hundred covers were laid and there was an abundance for aèJ The following menu was served under the personal direction of I s ado re F. and Harry Harris: Salted almonds, cap·· jessamines. Strawberries w ith fresh, pineapple. Chicken salad with dressing i/ueen olives, wafers. Imported wines. J Dressed tomatoes, deviled hatr. sand wiches. Neapolitan ice cream, cakeg Cafe noir, import·· I c! eese, wafers. Cigars. After leaving t! - banquet hall | quite a number of the press gang went to the trumpet corps armory where they wer· tendered a compli mentary dance by the you people of the city. A large crowd was present and from 1.' o'clock to th' wee sma' hours t ie liirt t fantastic was tipped. Music was furnished by the W ise Orchestra and twelve numbers w.-re danced. The grand march was led by Mr. Karl Met calfe and Miss Annie Mai Erwin. t «>ld drink», Ice l'rtuii and C'r«an; of S«da* at Grafton Λ Grafton's. tf l>atne»« Cannot r>« Gared 'ij local app1 ;a:ion« a- !b*j cannot rrach : r 9 j j«>r * of tu» *ar Th«r* I* oeij on* »»> I0« ,ff ι)Ρ»Γθ»".»Ιΐί IUI « Hi coaatltullou ai rifiinlie- l»*afne»·. -ca .i«l lu an inflamed condition >f !b* mucoti* nia< of 1er Kus'.acbian Tub* W ben thi» I h» <« < i^am-ii yon ha<· a rumbl'ftff or h*>r >p.| » h»« >1 l« ** <1* J C.JM J J I 101,*» 1I lltf OB λλλ hi rf*v>ai.ca αϊ μ 'ΛΛ9Λ c . toi kit I»»· r«jicra4 ιο '«» mcimn mua, » .ria< «ill M dMtrojrd fui«-rr am cam out of trn are cauiuHl b> caiarrb, * aica it nothing hut an in fiamod raodllhxi of th· raueuou* «iirrac* W*«t (iv«i)n« HunJrr: Iioliar^ for an) ca<« of deafc ■*» cau»«d t>> a:arrf that can no: I»· cured bj Hal. » Catarrh I'urr ->*nj for circu ar> fr·· ¥ I ι HKN Κ\ A .
