attraction ever open to the Press
without charge. Everybody SEEM
ed to be on the entertaining job and,
too, seemed to know how to execute
the task graciously and pleasantly.
Howard S. Williams. Editor of the
Hattiesburg American, was alive to
everything for the comfort, pleasure
and tfG enjoyment Of his brethren OF
the Press. He was as busy as bee
in a tar bucket. Hattiesburg may
well congratulate herself on having
Howard Williams in her midst. He
is an aggressive force and a potential
newspaper man, and bully, all
round fellow. In the American Of
fee the writer met Mr.. Hurt, form
erly a Winona man and citizen
with many friends in this section OF
the state. In the same office, too,
was young Milton H. Butler, who
came to Grenada something over a
wear ago as a representative OF the
jackson Daily News to report one OF
the fam meets held here by the Gre
NADIA Bank. Young Butler is a real
bright character and gives promise OF
a most successful newspaper future.

cepted to be the guests for dinner OF
the Woman's College, Baptist instl-
tuition under the direction of DR..
johnson. The dinner served was eX-
cellent and the songs and readings
by the students highly creditable. In
the faculty of this College Is Mrs.
O'Bryant (nee Lucy Jennings) and
a lady whose name cannot now be
recalled, but she was Miss Dixon
and is pleasantly remembered as a
boarder in the writer's home about
fifteen years ago.
From the Woman's College, a trip
was had out to Camp Shelby where
an arrangement had been made to
receive the Press and show the Edl-
tors one of the big preparation camps
which was so wisely used while Uncle
Sam was whipping things into shape
to fog the devil out of the Kaiser.
Perfection of construction, neatness
and thoroughness in sanitation was
evident on all hands and the officers
showed themselves chivalrOus enter
tainers.
