"Happy lj.ptw»»burg a} Host.
Only thd'Tondest memories of Hat
tiesburg and her hospitable people
will ever dwell in the minds of the
members of the press who had the
pleasure of being the guests of this
"Magic City," as it is properly termed,
during the meeting of th® Press Asso
ciation last week. Long will the edit
tors remember the royal reception ac
corded them, and too much cannot
be said by the press of the p&ple and
the city. Capt. P. K. Mayers, the only
charter member of tlite Press Associa
tion, had the following to say of the
meeting, which will give some idea of
how the brethren of the press were
treated.

history of the association."
The gates of the city were thrown
wide open, and the hearts, hands and
pocketbooks were opened still wider,
and nothing was left undone that tuc
people could think of that would add
to the enjoyment of their newspaper
guests, und it would take a whole news
to say -all the good things that

Hattiesburg is worthy of.
But aside from the social feature
which indicated the hospitality of the
people, there is a great deal more that

to Bay, there Is not. a more progressive

it has the people and the resources
that will make k greater. The press
of the state will delight in giving the
city and its people unbounded praise,
not merely to reciprocate for royal en

say is meritted.
Tl/6 people of Hattiesburg know
how to appreciate the press and the
people of the press know how to ap

Just at present there Is not the ac- It

there was a few months ago. But
Hattiesburg is not moping and weep

No Need of Suffering from Rheuma

The editor of the Brandon News
says that he did not attend the Press
Association at Hattiesburg because of
a lack of money nd clothes. If he had
gone to Hattiesburg, he would have
found that the people were so liberal
and hospitable that no money would
have been needed, and If necessary
they no doubt would have furnished
the raiment. H you had known what
sort of trbatment-yoji were going to

The annual meeting of the Missis

in Hattiesburg last week and from
reports sent'out it seems to have been
a very successful and interesting
meeting. HhtUesburg is one of the
most progressive and wide-awake
towns in the state and it was expected
that the hospitality of her splendid
people would be dispensed with a lav

suddent, about 10 o'clock In the morn
in', the fog lifted and I found myself a
mile from the Brant ranch house.
Thinkin' it would be a good chance to
go and tell Sally Brant that I war
goin' to be married, i rode over. Sally
was on the front veranda knlttln'
socks. I j'ined her and as soon as 1
could git up spuuk told her thrft I war
settled to be 'broke' by Eunice Tanner.
She didn't say a word; she jlst bent
down, and I could see that she war
cryin'.
"Of course that - war jist oue thing to
do. I set down on the bench beside
her, put my arms around her, and"—
"Kissed her?" asked the Chicago

"Kissed her? No; I war hon'able.
