Al the first suggestion Of holding a
central institute the matter was
hroached TO Mayor Thomas and other
conservative citizens of Gainesville,
rbo with their accustomed vigor,
took the matter up at once and united
heartily to make this meeting a sue
cess.
Other speakers OF National reputa-
ton are being secured to complete the
program. The citizens of Gainesville
are doing everything possible to make
our visitors comfortable during their
stay here and making them wish for
an opportunity to return.
Gainesville was chosen because
Of its central location, enabling
people from all parts of the
State to reach the meeting with the
least possible annoyance. The wide
AWAKE citizens of Gainesville have al
ways made their visitors feel under
lasting obligations to them for their
hearty hospitality.
The fact that the University of
Florida and the Experiment Station of
Florida are located at this place makes
II Of special interest and attraction to
all citizens Of the State, especially
those who are engaged in agricultural
pursuits.
