CAPT. HARDY Will

the New Press Association In
Hattiesburg on August 1928.

What promises to be one of the most
pleasing and interesting features in
connection with the meeting of the
publishers of South Mississippi in thi
city on September 27-2S will be an
address by Captain w. H. Hardy.
Information of Captain Hardys in
tention to be present on this occasion
was conveyed by letter to Secretary
Bixler this morning, and it NAV be
expected that his address will be re
plete with "reminiscences of the early
history of this city and section.
Possibly no man in the state is more
familiar with conditions, past and
present, in South Mississippi than is

Captain Hardy was the founder OF
Hattiesburg, the town, having derived
its name from his wife, Mrs. Hattie
