THE DRUGGIST AT ROME.

EDII oRs JoURNAL-The Georgia Board
OF Pharmacy met at Rome on August the
9Th. When your correspondent arrived al
the Armstrong Hotel he found about
twenty young men anxiously awaiting
their fate while the board examined their
papers in the adjoining room. -Four of
the number failed. Mr.. A. B. Green. of
Marietta, was one of the lucky number to
pass. When the board finished with the
papers they repaired to the city hall where
the meeting OF the Georgia Pharmacuti>
cal Association was called to order by
President E. NJ Wheat, of Columbus.
Opening prayer was offered by DR.. R. B.
Headen. The address OF welcome was
delivered in manner both cordial and
humorous by Mr.. j. D. Gwaltney. The
substance OF the address was IF you don't
see what you want ask for it, but don't paw
tor 1t" DR.. Slack, of Lagrange, replied
in behalf Of the Druggist. The Associa,
ton then went to business The morning
session was very interesting. At the after>
noon meeting the following officers were
elected: G. NJ. Crosby, of Marietta, PRESS
dent; Geo. F. Payne, of Atlanta, LIST Vice
President; D. W. Curry Of Rome, End
Vice President; W. F. Minis, of Americas,
3rd Vice President. A better selection of
officers could not have been made. Not
only Marietta but Cobb county should feel
honored at re Of her Druggist being
elected by his fellow druggists to fill the
high position OF President of the G..P. A.
Excellent papers were read by members
on questions given out by DR. George F.

was delayed waiting for Secretary Arring>
ton who had been called home on account
OF sickness bnt returned in time to be with
us. The weather was beautiful and music
grand and all that could be done to con-
tribute to the pleasure of the party was
seen to by our brothers of Rome. While
1T was rather dark to see the scenery along
the river We were fully repaid by seeing
number of the beautiful young ladies Of
Rome who served us al elegant supper
while on our trip. While enjoying a
saucer of delicious ice cream your corres>
pondent was almost shaken from his feet
AMI afterwards heard that the boat had
struck snag, but snags were not in it,
but nest of wasps shaken from a limb as
we passed by succeeded in getting in it
and one gentleman had areminder of the
fact in the way of knot on his head. On
the return trip mary of the young folks
went below where musicians with piano
and violins awaited them and danced unit
the wharf was reached. Many of oul
number went to the beautiful rooms of the
Cherokee Club where they spent severa
hours very pleasantly. Others attended 9
dance given at the Armstrong The Fri
days meeting of the G P. A. was called
to order just at. the time that your cores.
pondent was reminded that he must leave
for the E I. V. & G. train to return to

| sent to the Governor from whom to ap>
point member of the board Of Pharmacy.
DR.. Durham has done much toward raising
the standard of Pharmacy in our state and
many were the complimentary remarks
made about him. We noticed blush on
I Mr.. Crosby's lace when Mr.. Turner in 8
very complimentary speech nominated him
for President. Several OF our humber left

and will attend the meeting of the Ameri,
can Pharmacists Association while there.
| The Druggists will not soon forget the kind
ness shown in Rome. DR.. Goodwin and DR..

that the standard of Pharmacy would Re
raised higher than heretofore. While Geor>
gia has its present able board of Pharmacy

in this line will not be properly done by
any of the State Board Licentiates
