over the entire plant, where the me
are not only nursed back to health b
the most approved means known t
modern science, but are given, b
way of diversion while in the convaI
escent stage, vocational training
which will enable them to more easil
earn livelihood when they re-ente

inspection of this very interesting
and modernly equipped plant for re
building men who are broken i,
health, the visitors were invited int
the spacious dining room of the off

Upon returning to the city Wed,

Thursday at two o'clock the mem

Thursday night the. citizens of
Greenville gave a large banquet at
the Ottaray hotel in compliment to
the members of the Fourth Estate.
At the conclusion of this feast num-
Der of short, snappy speeches were
made both by the visitors and also
from the hosts. The men of Green
vile on occasions like this, all oc-
casions in fact, know how to do
things just right. Those who were so
fortunate as to be guests at the OF
taray banquet will long remember it
as one of the most pleasant occasions
of their lives.
Friday, the last day of the conven-

of road leading to this popular rem
devious in automobiles and were en-
abled to return to the city in time
to catch the outgoing trains in the
late afternoon. The barbecue and pic
mic on Paris mountain was very
unique occasion. Leaving out the
feast of, good things that had been
provided in almost limitless quanti-
ties, the spending of greater por-
ton of Friday alone amid such an at
tractive environment was enough for
folk. Goperners Coop
,r has recognized the value OF Paris
as a sumrler place of re-
siding, having accepted an invitation
