happy manner, and President Semmes
of the Pensacola Rotary Club, wel
comed the visitors for the twenty-s
district. In a most cordial and genial
speech.
The affair was not as largely at
tended as was expected because of
the very Inclement weather and the
condition of the roads. It was,
ever, one of the outstanding and dis
tinctive features of the Rotary year
in this section of the country and was
marked by gracious hospitality and
the cultured and refined manner that
is characteristic of everything that is
done in Tallahassee in a semi-official
or social way.
