"Centerville, April 10.
Mr., Editor: 1t was my privilege
recently to interview Hon. VIM. A.
Dickson, upon his return from a meet
ing OF the board of trustees OF the
Mississippi Agricultural and Mechan.
ical College. Our county was honorcd
by Gov Vardaman In the selection Of
Mr.. Dickson for this important posi-
tion. Further, | would say this insti
tuition is to be congratulated upon the
choice of one so eminently qualified
for advancing Its every interest. and
whose very heart is enlisted in it's
welfare.
