Editors Of State In
Annual Convention
Annual Meeting Is Held At Quitnan
This Week

Its annual convention at Ouitman this
week and was one of the most inter
esting meetings held by this associa-
ton. Every county of the state was
represented and the visitors from mid
die and north Georgia were loud in
their praises of the agricultural out
look IN South Georgia. Quitman en-
tertained the press gang royalty in
which they were joined by the Brooks
County farmers Union, whose guests
the editors were Wednesday.
The enthusiastic reports of the
Georgia State Press meeting at Quit
man, proves that Quitman has first
OF all measured up to their ardent an
tlclpations in hospitality features-that
the programs were live and interest
ing that editors have a kindred
feeling for each other that these ann
ual reunion tend to deepen Then
too, they have plan of telling others
their troubles and the relief they seek
is always in some measure afforded
by the fact that the other fellows are
up against the same thing and this
lightens the individual burden.
This year the larger number of
ladies present and taking part in the
program was~a pleasing feature. The
women are invading the editorial sane
inns as they are most other fields and
some of these who were present and
speaking at the sessions were Mes

de Lee Bryan, Covington; Mrs. w.

lversity, J. c. Hume, representing this
