TRAVELLING TO STATE PRESS MEET.

Monday of last week We editor and
wife and her sister, Mildred Wes-
terrified left Leakesville to attend the
meeting of the Mississippi Press AS
sociatidn at Greenwood. We went
out by auto to State Line and pass
ing up on the East Side of the river
found the roads fairly good, The re-
cent rains bad wrinkled them some,
but the main grading was standing
up pretty well. tt ey have raised
the road through the low flats near
the river on that highway and its
well ditched on each side. The low
places and streams have high bridges
on them to avoid so much blowing
out and washing away. the work all
speaking well for the road crews who
have labored up in there. We saw
the farms of j B. Griffin, Delbert
Landlord and Harmon Brewer as we
rode along These men have GOOD
FARMS indeed Farms which are a
credit to any county. Their land is on
high levels and free of stumps and
we'll fenced and show marks of close
cultivation and their start for 1921
crop was promising looking.
At State Liue we took supper with
the family of the late W. c. Wester-
field. an uncle of the wife's. They
have carried out plar of Mr.. Will s
to remodel the home and give some
modern touches to it by way of
changes to the front with an extern
ped porch etc. He had the lu nber
already for it. it has greatly beau
titled such residence and made it
more comfortable and roomy. Mrs
Westerfeld joined us on the ride up
that night as far as Quitman where
she stopped off for the district ''Set
Up" meeting of the M. E. Church,
South in its drive tor the Miss. Con-
ference quota of the Christian Edu-
cation Movement.
! Our train arrived at West Point
where the change of cars was to be
made, before daylight. We we're
chagrined to learn here that there
was long break in connection ow-
ing to the Greenville & Columbus Ga
branch OF the Southern railroad
having recently pulled off a train.
So we got some sleep at the old Holt
Hotel where the Editors stopped the
year this writer was elected presi-
dent Of their ASSOCIATION.
| About ten o'clock the next morning
we travelled on over to, the West as
far as Wlnoua at which place the
local train carrying us ended its
Journey. We were marooned there
till o'clock that afternoon when the
regular through train come along
and picked as up and delivered US at
our destination, viz: Greenwood. At
! Winona We got to look over that
town which it had never been our
good fortune to see except hurried
views from the car window in pass
ing through on l. c. r. r. There
are two depots at this town. The
one at which we stop the G.. & G. is
situated under the hill from the L.
G. which latter is located right on
the edge of the business center of
the town. The stores, hotels and
courthouse, churches, etc: are ali laid

ma we strike up with Geo. Kilpat-

such selection. A o t her editor
whose acquaintance we make for the
first time, on the train over from
this place is G. w. Williams of the
Houston Times-Post. We have been
