FRIDAY HOSPITAL NOTES.

Philip Roy, of South of town, entered the hospital early this morning for medical attention. The condition of Mrs. Sarah Miller, who entered the hospital yesterday, remains unchanged. All other patients are improving. We wish to thank the ladies of the Home Economics club and the good people of this city and the surrounding county for the donations of fruit and vegetables to the hospital. The donations consisted of fruit and pickles, 125 quarts; fifty glasses of jelly, three bushels of potatoes and a supply, of pumpkins. - In order that more people might receive benefit, the hospital board decided to continue with the old charges for service instead of raising, as most hospitals did, and, in view of the fact that the cost of all supplies has advaficed so far, these donations are greatly appreciated. . MATTIE HEMPHILL, Hospital Supt. The trustees of the hospital met in regular monthly session Thursday evening. The report of the superintendent wasexamined and claims here allowed. The receipts for the month were $935.30. The expenditures were: For salaries and nurse hire, $705.91; for supplies, $443.51, making a total of $1,139.42, or a deficit for the month of $204.12.
