Editor Daily News:
Dear Sir-I appreciate very much
your endorsement, the kind words and
very tiattering notice that you gave
me in Thursdays News, and through
the same public medium | desire to
thank you and many other friends
who have given me such hearty en-
dorsement by their commendation of
my work as president of the CONNER.
Ycial Club While l value more
than great riches the confidence,
friendship and good will of my neigh
bors, yet do not feel that my work
deserves such praise.
| have filled the office for the past
two years with considerable sacrifice
10 myself from a financial view point,
and had fully made up my mind to
ask the directors to select some other
man to serve for the incoming year
and relieve me of the responsibility.
But at a meeting of the board of di-
rectors Thursday evening was
unanimously reelected, over and
above my protest. and under such cir
Cumstances if my board and the
Commercial Club felt it my duty to
serve them another twelve months, |
informed them I would do so. |
thanked them and the club for their
confidence and for the honor, and
promise them as | now promise the
people of tlattiesburg. that will re-
new my efforts to greater things and
try 10 do more efficient work in the
future than 1 have in the past.
