 Tuscumbia Citizens

Sheffield, May, 2.-(Special.)-T Mus Gle Shoals cities of Sheffield, Florence and Tuscumbfa had the privilege and honor today Of entertaining more than one hundred members Of the American EIectrochemicaI society, a body of scien- lists and specialists, distinguished for their accomplishments in the scientinc and manufacturing world The meeting of these electrochemists here today will be recorded as one of the most im- portant and impressive ever held in this section.
 1t has been a big day, not only for the tr1-cities of Sheffield, Florence and Tus- cumbia, but for Alabama and the south as well, in their coming to Muscle Shoals.
 ASTONISHED AT DEVELOPMENT
 The party has reached the farthest point south in it's present tour of the Ap- palachian section, and admittedly it was a bewildered body of men who saw the great developments and realized the wonderful hydroelectric possibilities or the Muscle Shoals region here today.
 Rarely if ever the people of the Tri- Cities made such elaborate plans for the entertainment of any visiting body as was made and completely executed for the visitors. The party reached here early this morning by special train.

 'I have a lot to tell you but, honest, it is awfully hard to write it, as am nervous over getting back to God s country. You will receive a hearing from me at every stop, if nothing more than a post card. Of course I haven't any address at present so I will have to wait until l get stationed before hear from you.
 Be good until you see or hear from me again. Your loving son.
