Mr.. Opperman planted only fifty
bushels OF corn on his Mississippi
farm, but the yield was large and the
quality of corn of the finest. He saws

SOUTHERN MEDICS
come NEXT YEAR
TO HATTIESBURG
President Crawford Wires The News
This Afternoon of our Victory over
jackson for Next Convention.

The next meeting of the Southern
Medical Association will be held in
Hattiesburg.
This gratifying information was
conveyed in telegram to The News
from DIR. w. w. Crawford at 200
O'Clock this afternoon.
Thls undoubtedly is a great vic.
tory for the piney woods metropolis,
and much creditis due DR.. Crawford,
the Forrest County Medical Society
and the Commercial Club for their
diligent EFFORTS in presenting the
claims of Hattiesburg before the con-
vention. Jackson was Hattiesburg's
only Mississippi competitor.
1t will be both interesting and graf
flying to citizens of this city to know
that never before has the Southern
Medical Association met in Mississip-
pi, nor has it ever held a convention
in city smaller than Nashville. It
means that at least four hundred of
the most successful and progressive
physicians and surgeons of the states
of Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee,
Florida, Louisiana and Georgia will
come to Hattiesburg next year, and
that the fame of this city will be
spread abroad in these states by the
most intelligent and influential class
of people.
The fact that Hattiesburg was chos-
en- as the next meeting place for the
association is an evidence of the fact
that the hospitality, progressiveness
and energy Of Hattiesburg citizens Is
a matter of general knowledge
throughout the south. fact of which
each individual should be proud and
use every possible effort to maintain.
That the members of the associa-
tion will be heartily welcomed and
royalty entertained during their stay
here would be superfluous to state.
