DR.. W. A. DOZIER.
The Incentive Given Hattiesburg by
His Extensive Advertising and
Progressive Methods.

There is no one who is afforded the
opportunity that a newspaper man
enjoys of knowing the incentives that
most benefits the city of his adoption,
unless, perhaps. it be the real estate
man.
The newspaper office has access each
day to the hundreds and. hundreds of
papers that come in and what we
claim above is ascertained from the
tone of them.
1t is no exaggeralton to say that no
enterprise Of this city, noted for
strong banks and business institutions,
is oftener mentioned in the papers
than the business OF Dir. Dozier and

an extraordinary demand.
In contemplating, therefore, the
rapid strides that Hattiesbug has, the
past four months made. let us not for
get to give credit where cl edit is due,
and we here take pleasure In saying
that DR.. Dozier is entitled to large
portion of it.

Obear. Meldrim and Nash.
The First Battalion Infantry, Geor-
gia State Troops, colored, celebrated
its twenty-third anniversary yester-
day with a parade, review and picnic.
1t was anything but a pleasant day
for the colored soldiers and the visiting
companies from Augusta, Macon and
Montgomery, but they made the most
of 1t.
The battalion and the visiting COM
panies formed at Liberty and East
Broad streets at 10 o'clock and march

ing in review before the Hussars Ar
mory, where Col. Obear. inspector gem
eral of state troops; Col. P. w. Mel
drim, First Regiment of Cavalry, and
Lieut.. Col. ]. @. Nash of GAINESVILLE
were stationed on the balcony.
The reviewing officers commended
the marching and maneuvers of the
troops and expressed their approval Of
the display. A drill had been contem-
plated in the Park Extension, but ow-
ing to the heavy rain ii was aban-
doned-

and notwithstanding the fact that the
rain was falling. they were followed
along the line of march by a throng
of colored people. Following the re-
view the troops were allowed to scat
ter and visit any places they wished.
Many of them went out to Lincoln
Park and the remainder scattered
through the city. The rain interfered
largely with the picnic feature.
