Dr, DD, G Smith Honored,
At the fifty-first annual convention
of the Illinois State Medical Society,
Dr. D. G. Smith, of Elizabeth, was
elected as one of the five delegates from
Illinois to the American Medical As-
sociation at Portland, Oregon, in July.
This is considered quite an honor as
there are only one hundred and sixty
delegates in America and the places
are usually given the physicians in the
larger cities. Dr. Bmith will carry his
honors easily and all his friends wish
him a pleasant journey when he takes
the trip through the west,
The above is taken from the News,
published at Elizabeth, Illinois. Dr,
Smith is a native of Penn Hall, and ie
married to Miss Emma Heckman,
daughter of Wm. Heckman, deceased,
near Centre Hall.
