quiet was restored and the speaker !
could proceed with his address, and !
he steered shy of further remarks that |
the thermometer belied.
The addresses of Mr.. Cook and DR..

in today's News
DR.. J. NJ. Jackson, of Miami, Florida,
in a brief but pointed address re-
sponded to the address of welcome on
behalf of the visitors. The speaker
stated that when the last meeting of
the Association was held in Nash
vile. he wanted it to meet in Florida
this year, but when Doctor Crawford
asked that the Association be brought
to Hattiesburg, he at once seconded
| the motion. He was glad to see Hat
tiesburg get the meeting for several
reasons. chief of which was that in a
smaller town the doctors would have
more time to devote to the actual
work before them, and would not find
so much to see, and since arriving in
the city yesterday morning he was
convinced that no mistake was made
in bringing the Association to Hat
tiesburg. This was not meant as a
reflection on the scenic beauty of the
place, as the laughter which followed
would indicate, but that more effective
work could be done and that Hatties-
burg with her open doors and hos
pitality was well able to handle the
gathering The speaker paid a splen-
did tribute to the young city and
wanted to congratulate the people on
| the beauty of their city and its won
; derful growth DIR. Jackson impressed
= the doctors with the Importance of
} attending the different lectures and
/ the social functions which have been
S planned for their entertainment, and
t closed by saying he hoped that in the
$ years to come and as the association
t grew it would date its history from
a the Hattiesburg meeting. The speak
