HOSPITAL DONATIONS

JASPER COUNTY WOMEN PRE-' PARING CANNED GOODS FOR HOSPITAL. Th Home Economics Club has inaugurated a movement to have every lady in Jasper county, who will, donate to the hospital a can of fruit or preserves, and the movement is meeting with splendid response. Already the women of Remington have a large supply on exhibition in the window .of the department store of Charles H. Peck. Col. Frederick A. Phillips has offered his room to the women during the horse show and all ladies who wish to give a can of fruit can leave same there during the stock show to be held in this city Friday and Saturday of this week. Each lady is requested to place her name on the side of the can containing her donation. This movement is directly in charge of Mrs. (Dr.) John W. Horton and she would be pleased to give information to any lady in regard to the donation. • This is a most excellent move and wholly in keeping with the big heartedness of the women of Jasper county. >There is no more effective way to comfort those in pain and sickness and all are anxious to do this. All who are acquainted with the splendid work being done at the hospital will be pleased to assist to the extent of their ability. A very special invitation is extended by Miss Hemphill, the superintedent, to all ladies who can to visit the hospital during the stock show. ]
