The above named gentlemen con-
stitute the officers and board of di-
rectors of the Forrest Club, the social
club recently organized by the busi-
ness and professional men of Hatties-
burg, which promises to be a potent
factor in the future further develop
ment of this city and the surrounding
territory. &c.,
Many of the most prominent men,
voung and older, of the ely have
already paid their initiation fees and
the club has $4,000 in cash for a
starter.
The Forrest Club is purely a social
organization, formed for the purpose
of promoting closer social intercourse
between it's members and guests to
be, and the innumerable benefits OF
such an organization can be readily
seen by every person who will give
even slight thought to the matter.
1t is probable that the old T. J..
George place, on Bay street, will be
selected as the home Of the new club
and that it will be occupied as soon
as arrangements can be perfected to
that end While the location is not
so central as it might be, it yet IS
convenient to all sections of the city
and in addition can, with the expendi-
ture of some money, be made an ideal
home for a social club. The grounds
are spacious, and are susceptible of
being made very beautiful, indeed
The place can be made especially, as
lightful for out of door recreation, as
there is ample space for tennis courts,
croquet grounds, ETC., and splendid
natural location for small artificial
lake, should it be thought desirable. |
