There
were
about
thirty
present
at

and
Mr.
MacCallum's
account
of
his
visit
in
the
south
proved
very
Interesting.
One
of
the
features
of
the
con
vention
which
impressed
the
local
delegate
was
that
the
outstanding
members
were
always
anxious
t
hear
from
the
smaller
and

sections
of
the
country.
He
urged
that

demanded,
send

for
the
consideration
of
such

Suggestions
were
always
heartily

was
also

with
the
amount
of

willing

I
put
In
on
these
occasions.
It
seem

nothing
for

Many
people
thought
that

were
Just

was
not
