DRIVING CLUB
IS ORGANIZED

The Hubs latest civic organization
is what its promoters choose to call
the Hattiesburg Driving Club, compos-
ed of those owners Of horses and au-
tomobiles who have a desire for a
Forrest county fair which they hope
will grow out of their enterprise in
building a half-mile race which under
the direction of Dr. B. M. Davenport is
about to reach point of completion
and which is situated about one block
south of Hardy street on lands owned
by D. ]. Sutherland and H. A. Camp.
The promoters of this movement
have been trying for some time tt
establish track near the city but they
have had to fight against measure o
public apathy which has been mos
discouraging,, but which they believ
will rapidly disappear when once tn
public sees what they have done an
understands their reasons therefor.
