The Joint session of the Adams-Han-
cock and McDonough-Fulton Counties
District Dental association met in an
nual session at Carthage Tuesday and
Wednesday, which meeting was de-
clared by all present to have been the
most enthusiastic, educational and en-
PERTAINING session yet held by the So
Icieties. The sessions throughout the
two days were we'll attended, there be-
ing forty-five members in attendance,
1thirty-one having attended the clinics
There was great interest manifested
| by all, in the discussions given, and
also pertaining to the clinics. No
business meeting was held, as lack OF
time necessitated postponing the
same, for the carrying out OF the regu-
lar program, hence the next meeting
place was not decided upon. 1t is pos
sible, however, that the next annual
meeting will not be held, as the Ma
tional Dental association holds It's
meeting in Chicago in 1918, and all
progressive dentists of this county
are planning to attend the same.
