Show FAILED TO MEET HIS BRETHREN. A Visit from the Head of the National lross Association Owing to a business call out (if the city, we failed to meet our brethwm of the Missouri press who honored us with a call last week. We especially regret not having seen their distinguished , president, Mr. Idward W. Stephens, of Columbia, Missouri, editor of the "Herald" "Her-ald" at that place, and the recently elected president of the National press association. Mr. S. is a native Missou-. Missou-. rian, a graduate of her state university, at one time president of the board of curators of that institution, and has been a life-long journalist. Prominent in all matters connected with public affairs of his state, he has beon frequently fre-quently mentioned for tho position of chief executive, and from our point of view would certainly not be a "mis-lit" in that chair. In the round of tho west, he was accompanied ac-companied by his wife, a lady of charming charm-ing manners and many womanly graces. |
