sas City, Kansas.
He contemplates leaving for his

In leaving Hatties burg, Mr..
Thomasson and his estimable and
cultured family carry with them the
best wishes of large circle of
friends in Hattiesburg, where he
has been so intimately associated
with the affairs of the city.
AS cashier OF the First National
Bank of Hattiesburg, and later Of
its ce-President, he has come in
to very close, cordial and friendly
relations with a large number of
people, customers, of that institu-
ton and others, besides this, he has
ever shown a keen interest in the
social and material welfare of our
town. Mr.. Thomasson's many years
of experience as bank officer we'll
qualified him for efficient service in
his new home.
While the Daily Progress joins
with Mr.. Thomasson's many friends
in expressions of regret that we
can no longer count him as fellow
citizen of Hattiesburg this news
paper wishes to assure him posi-
lively of its earnest wish for his
happiness and success in his new
field of labor.
A recent issue of the Arkansas

Mr.. Thomasson's acceptance of the
position mentioned, says:
ga. F. Thomasson, who succeeds
Mr.. Denton, is a successful banker
Of over twenty years experience in

During the last seven years he has
been the managing officer of the

and his estimable family will be

OPERATION ON AERONAUT.
Young Lesh in Critical Condition After
Rebreaking Of His Leg.

New York. Dec. 24-Laurencc >.
Lesh, the 16-year-old aeronaut 'of Mon
treal, who fell and broke his leg at
Morris park, on Election day. IS salo
tn be in a critical condition at the
Hahnemann hospital, Park avenue ana
67th street, after undergoing an op-
Grafton involving the re-breaking OF MS
leg. His temperature was lo3 degrees
and his condition so serious that word
was sent to his father.
It was believed after the first opera
tion that Lesh's leg was nearly as gooo
as before the accident. and he pre-
nared a short time ago to leave the
Fcrdham hospital for his home IN
Canada.
Several members of the Aeronautic
Society. who had made themselves re-
snonsiblc for Lesh's expenses. lnves-
tigated the case, and, hearing that the
surgeons mad not made an X-ray test
to determine whether the operation
was successful, they insisted that the
Fordham hospital take such precau-
tionary measures. The result OF the
X-ray test, it is said. showed that the
leg would have to be rebroken and re-
set and DIR. George w. Roberts. at
the Hahnemaan hospital. after max
ing an examination. said the operation
would be an extremely difficult one
He told the men interested that sur
geon's fee for it would be 500.
