DONATIONS WERE GRATIFYING

Plea for Provisions for Hospital Brought Liberal Responses. The officers and members of the Home Economics club, as well as the people in general, are more than pleased with the result of the campaign last week for fruits and vegetables for the hospital. Over 220 quarts of fruit and vegetables. 115 glasses of jelly, besides large quantities of potatoes, parsnips, pumpkins, carrots, cabbage, peas, onions, etc., were contributed, and will be deeply appreciated by those In charge of the institution. We were requested to give especial mention to the ladies of Remington, Parr, Aix. and Barkley township for their efforts and very substantial contributions.
