as well as of beauty and fun, we judge
the whole affair to have been a most
creditable display of Meridian's abili-
ties and possibilities. Thousands Of
people partook of the city's hospitality
(Which was most generously rendered
them), and every one of the many |
visitors went home pleased with the
entertainment, grateful to their hosts
and with their firm faith in Meridian,
her commerce and her push deeply
strengthened. Every town in the
State needs the support of the country
surrounding it, and 1t is the towns
making the best bids for their trade
that get it. Most people like to be en-
tertained and everybody likes to be
made welcome. In her ability to do
both of these things we'll lies much of
Meridian's popularity with the people
all around her.
Prof. w. L. Weber, formerly Of Mill
saps College, but now of Emory Col
lege, Ca, has just completed a volume
entitled Southern Poets" We have
not seen the book yet, but from u
knowledge of the man and the student,
we feel safe in stating that the BOOK
) will be a valuable one, and that our
; own young poet, Irwin Russell, will
: receive his need of praise. Prof.
Weber originated the movement for
an Irwin Russell memorial, and 1t
was through his unwearied Efforts
enlisting, as he did, the interest of the
educators of the State-that the name
: of this sweet singer became familiar
to the school children Of his native
:, State. Few men are so we'll prepared
-, for the work he has done as Mr..
Weber.
