CHRISTIAN COUNTY AND HOPKINS

VILLE.

April 4th, 1876 the State Medical Association held its 21st annual meeting at Hopkinsville with Dr. John A. Hodge of Henderson, president. At this meeting Dr. L. B. Hickman of Hopkinsville delivered the address of welcome and after the scientific program in which T. S. Bell, Jno. J. Speed, and L. P. Yandell, Jr., all of Louisvile, took part, Dr. R. W. Gaines of Hopkinsville was elected president, Dr. J. H. Letcher of Henderson secretary. All these are now dead except Dr. Letcher.

In announcing the meeting, in '76, the New Era apologizes because there were no lights on the streets, no public schools and no turnpikes.

This year the Association returns to Hopkinsville for the first time since '76. Should any of those who attended the meeting 40 years ago come to this meeting they will see a remarkable change from the sleepy little village of that time in the busy progressive city of 1916 with a population of 13,000.

Hopkinsville is now the largest market in the dark tobacco district and Christian county produces more tobacco than any county in the State. This county also produces normally 1,000,000 bushels of winter wheat, most of which is made into flour by the mills of Hopkinsville. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has taken Christian county as the model for the whole country for successful co-operation in agricultural pursuits. This year the city and county voted a bond issue

Hopkinsville and Christian county are well supplied with excellent physicians and the county society is in a flourishing condition as is witnessed by the annual report. The profession is fortunate in having the Jennie Stuart Hospital located in Hopkinsville. This is the best equipped general hospital in any of the smaller cities of the State and was built by Dr. E. S. Stuart as a memorial to his wife. The Western State Hospital for the Insane is located at Hopkinsville and Dr. Fred Larue the new superintendent is meeting with success at the beginning of his administration and bids fair to make one of the most efficient

superintendents in the State. Dr. Larue is particularly anxious that every physician who comes to Hopkinsville arrange to go through the State Hospital and see the great improvement in the care of our helpless insane.

Hopkinsville has excellent hotel facilities. and can accommodate all visitors. It will save confusion, however, if those who intend to come to the meeting will notify Dr. F. P. Thomas, the chairman of the hotel committee and secure rooms in advance.

The city is easy of access having three railroads, the Louisville & Nashville, the Illinois. Central and the Tennessee Central.

Those who attend the meeting will be assured of a cordial welcome by all the citizens and pleasant recreation and pleasant recreation and entertainment will be provided by the profession and people of Hopkinsville.

On Thursday night, October 26, the visiting doctors and their wives will be the guest of the Christian County Medical Society at the tabernacle to see the photo play, "Ramona, after which there will be a reception. and dance at Hotel Latham.

On Thursday afternoon there will be a reception to the visiting ladies followed by an

automobile ride.

The Kentucky State Medical Society met in the Court House at Hopkinsville, Christian County, Tuesday, April 4th at 10:30 A. M., with the President, Dr. J. A. Hodge, of Henderson, in the Chair.

At the conclusion of Dr. Perry's prayer, Dr. Hickman delivered the following most cordial address of welcome to the assembled delegates: Gentlemen of the Kentucky State Medical Society:

There may be, and often are, periods in our lives when we are called to do a work but briefly anticipated, and but little versed in, and yet, to accomplish it, gives us personal pleasure and satisfaction. Such is the service allotted to me at this time. It is to welcome you, gentlemen of the Medical Staff of the State of Kentucky, to our city as our guests, during your present stay among us, for prosecuting your professional researches and discussions in medical science, as well as in its varied and various outgrowths in its remedial appliances, with the execution of such other business as is practicable and as circumstances may require. Much of professional knowledge is necessarily derived from books, but still more from the wide scope and intelligent use of personal experience in our calling, which, in its duties and splendid attainments is second to no other. Such a body of experts can not meet for the exchange of thought and knowledge proposing the mutual aid of each other, and be likely to fail in the object. As such an Assembly we hail you, brethren, to-day.

our

We deem your presence and efforts a benefit and honor, and as the guardians of health and life to the public, we are happy to greet you to our home hospitalities as individuals, to our city as a place convenient for prosecuting your noble designs, and as where, we trust, you will find a welcome as generous as it is sincere.

May our Society flourish in number and talent; and when its veterans shall have finished its course and passed away, may the succeeding branches not only fill the vacancies, but greatly advance upon their present

advantage, perpetuating the fame of our an cient and noble profession. Brothers, therefore, one and all. in the name of your breth ren of the Christian County Medical Society, I now greet you and bid you a fraternal wel

come.

In their name I feel I can say, brothers all, enter our tents and share with us our bread and water; though of silver and gold we have none, yet, as such as we have, we cheerfully give unto you.

Our homes are your homes; may you find them pleasant and agreeable. Accept them and use them as freely as your own.
