STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY.
The Thirty-Eighth Annual Session
Held for Three Days at the
Courthouse.
THE ENTIRE REGISTER.

The Kentucky State Medical Socie-
ty met in this city Wednesday and
adjourned yesterday. The attend
ance was very large, nearly every
county, town and village in the State
having one or more representatives
of the profession. The meetings were
held at the court house, the entire
lower floor of which had been set
apart for the occasion and specially
prepared and decorated with flags,
bunting, festoons and flowers. Every
inch of space in the courtroom was
occupied and it is no disparagement
to any previous gatherings there to
say that no finer looking or more
intelligent body of men ever assem-
bled in that Enclosure, in which the
voices of many of Kentucky's great
est and most highly honored citizens
have rung out in matchless eloquence.
While doctors are not trained to ora
tory, there were good many of those
at the meetings whose ability and ex-
perience in special lines of their call
ing gave to their remarks and dis
cussions a finish and point not ex-
celled by some of the best speakers.
Though the purpose of the annual
Assem- blies is to interchange thought
and experience derived from the
practice of the year, and from the
amount Of business disposed of
doubtless much valuable information
was gained, the Society, neverthe-
less found ample time to view all
points of interest in and around the
city, and to enjoy the hospitality of
the medical fraternity of the county
and many non professional citizens
who extended the honored guests
q cordial welcome.
At the depot on Wednesday the
visitors were met by the reception
committee and escorted to room Is
in the Capital Hotel. which had pre-,
viously been secured and supplied
with the necessary details for head
quarters. About IL o'clock that day
President Arch Dixon, of Henderson,
called the meeting to order and Rev.
DR.. J. McClusky Blayney, Of the First
Presbyterian Church. opened the pro-
ceedings with an impressive prayer.
Judge Ira Julian followed in neat
ard happy address of welcome which,
in its good-humored and unaffected
style, at once placed the audience en-
rapport with the speaker and made
all feel that they were among friends
who were glad to extend them a cor
dial greeting.
