The conductors’ plcnlo has been the
om topic of conversation for the past
ten days, and each day, as tha time drew
nearer, Interest In the matter visibly In

talked of.
It will be a grand occasion beyond
doubt, and, hundreds of people will bn
there from every town and vlUsgo along
the line of the 8. A. A M. road.
For weeks the members of the local
lodge O. R. O., under , whose auspices
the plenlo will be glren, have been bard
at work perfecting the neoessary ar
rangements, and late yesterday bad tha
satisfaction of knowing that nothing
bad been left undone. ,t, -
Notwithstanding tha faet that tha
crowd will be large, ample accommoda
tion will be made to carry comfortably
all who will attend the plonlo, and there
need be no fear whatever of erowdlng.
