my mental picture was so complete

alize that | had stepped off the train
into a town which shows such won
derful evidences of thrift and pros
perity. l had expected to find dirty
and unkept streets. but on the con-
trary YOU have a splendid system OF
paving and the streets have a neat
and tidy appearance as compared TO
many of the smaller cities of the
south. You certainly have a pro-
gressive city Another thing that
has strongly impressed me is the ex-
cellent arrangements that have been
made for the training Of the Tigers.

trained has given them such an en-
