President, and gentlemen of the Dooly County Society of Medicine; When my good friend Dr. Harvard re quested me to make this' address of welcome, I hesitated because I felt sure there were otners more competent and better suited for the occasion than myself, and too I have never before been accused of being an orator. I know very well that the selection he vtpade was not due to the fact of any special fitness that I possess for this oc casion, but by reason of tho fact of my being the chief executive of the city. But being at all times desirous of ao- commoduClng my friends I acceded to ids. request. And in the. name of the city or Arabi, and its good .people I welcome you among us, and I most cor dially Welcome you on (his occasion. “We have a town renonned for its hospitality, beautiful women and good school. We have advertised to the people of Cioorgia that we can take their boys and girls here in our dormitories and board them at $5.00 per month, guaranteeing to them that books, board tuition and laundry shall hot cost them over $10 per moth “Gentlemen with pride we point to some of the pupils of our school who have distinguished themselves with honor in our colleges and institutions of learning after having received this first lesson in our noblo institution. “Gentlemen you are welcome to Ara bi ; the healthiest town in Georgia. Yet oar doctors manage to make a living; how they do it I will have to ask them to explain, for I cannot. “Again let me say, in the name of Arab! I give yon a most hearty welcome to our town, yes to our hearts and homes yon are welcome." Next came Dr. V. O. Harvard, who in the following words welcomed the Society in behalf of the local profession: “Mr. President and gentlemen of the Dooly County Society of Mdtctne; Centuries ago Confucius said 'words are the voice of the soul/ but to-day as I attempt to express to you our heart felt pleasure st having you with us, I feel that words are inadequate and phrases empty. “Gentlemen, in behalf of the local profession‘of our town I bid you wel come to Arabi; which, while professing no place of especial interest, no remark ably fine buildings and no particularly beautiful surrounding scenery, yet we have two good churches, one of the cheapest schools for poor boys and girls, a set of the inost thrifty, energetic and united people and enjoy the dis tinction of being'on the highest point of the G. 8. AF., railroad. . “Gentlemen, mtfioabt when you left your homes you Jojaiyodr wives and families that ypu were going down to Arabi; on the. contrary you’ hive to come or to Arjtbi from hny direction. • ‘.‘There is no local cause for Sickness; in fact the .-'citizens are distressingly and 1 msy’ajtjd. surprisingly- healthy when we consider the fact that we hive three reside)} ^physicians. For there hafc always been considerable humor at the expense*ofV)Mt tibysiclans, from the present iime back to, the days of the old Greek poet Agathlw who said “A thriving doctor sent his son to school To gain some knowledge, should he prove no fool; But took him soon away with little warning, On finding out the lesson' he was learning, How great Pelides’ wrath, in Homer’s rhyme Sent many souls to HadeB ere their time. » f kV No need for this, my boy should hither come That lesson he can better learn at home. Fori, myself; now I make bold to say Send many souls to Hades ere their day Nor e’er find want of grammar stop ray may.' "And yet tho very wits who make our profession in general the target for their shafts, when brought low on beds of illness feel the greatest relief and extend the heartiest welcome when their own particular physioian arrives. “No class of men ore more familor with welcomes than doctors. Their noble calling makes them welcomed by every heart and in every home. In Tact their visits are so welcome and the people are so determined to have them that they are willing to pay for the privilege of their society at so mnch per visit. "Gentlemen, we are glad to have you with tis, we shall be sorry when you leave, and always glad to welcome you again* We feel that we shall be better doctors for having you with us and we. trust this meeting may inspire us all to greater efforts and to a more zealous study in the ever widening field of our profession.

It Is estimated that about 6,000 people were pres ent and all were royally entertained by the citizens of our neighbor city during their stay there on the glorious fourth of Jtlly* At the business meeting of the Veterans in Vienna on' tiie day of the reunion last year, Col. S. R. Fields and others made' talks in viting them to hold their next re union in Cordele, pledging their word that the people ot that city would do their foil ’duty towards entertaining und .- feeding the crowd—and they did so in graud style. Music was furnished on the oc casion by a brass band under the leadership of Prof. J. B, Pate and a choir with B. 9, Pouud as leader. Commander I. S.

A short report was then tend by Historian J. P. Heard as to the condition of the camp. A few members were reported to have passed over the river since the last reunion. There are 381 members in this comp, but only 81 bad paid their duet which is 10/ a year, at the time of the reading of the report The orator of the day, Capt. W. M. Hammond of Thomasvillc, was introduced by Rev. J. D. Win Chester. Capt, Hammond spoke at length on the different incidents of the war during the sixties and also related some history of Dooly comity. Several different times he held his bearers spellbound by his matchless oratory and moved them to tears by relating some pathetic war story or to hearty laughter by telling some funny incident that happened during the war. ilis speech was highly enjoyed. Before the speaking was con cluded the long table had been pre pared with a bountiful supply of barbecue, bread, chicken , salads, pies, custards, cakes and Other good tilings too numerous to mention. Dinner was then announced and for two hours the large crowd present proceeded to satisfy the in ner man. which was done and a large quantity was left over to be carried home. At 3 o'clock the crowd com menced to flock to the ball park where a game was played between Montezuma and Cordele, resulting in a score of 30 to o in favor of Montezuma. A game was played the day before between the same teams which resulted ma tie, 6 and 6. It was decided to bold the next reunion at Unadilla.

Tho enterprising eitizens of Vienna are now at work getting up subscribers to take up $2,600 worth of stock in what will be known ns “The Dooly County Fair Association.” As will be seen be low the stock will be valued at $26. a shore. Just as soon as tho stock is all subscribed a charter will be applied for and tho association permanently or ganized with good substantial and on 1 terprising business menus officers This is a move in the right direction and such an enterprise will be a great thing for Hie fanners and people gen' orally. Just imagine how hard a good fanner would work to carry off the prize ahead of his neighbors for the best corn, cotton, potatoes, eta. The grounds besides having the nec essary exhibit, stables, grand stand and other buildings will probably contain s race track and ball ground. It is be lieved that the enterprise would pay a small dividend besides being a great help to the farmers and merchants. In the event the promoters are sue cessful the grounds and buildings will be completed in time for the first fair to be held in 1903. The management of the News feels very proud of this undertaking by our leading business men as sueh a thing has been agitated by it ever since it was established a little over a year ago.
