HOUSE IN BAD CONDITION .Members of Association Would Hear What Others Have to Offer Before They Tie Themselves Down by Ac-

cepting—t liangc in Name.

The offer of Dr. G. W. Bence to give a building to the Putnam County Hoispital Association—the new name adopted by the association at the meeting Thursday was rejected. in making the offer to the association last week Dr. Bence stated that if it was not accepted Thursday it would be withdrawn. • The committee ap[H>;nted to investigate the offer recommended that it be rejected. The bad condition of the house and the great expense the association would have to go to remodel the building was one of the strongest objections the commiftee had. It is deemed it unwise to accept the proposition of Dr. Bence without giving other persons a chance to donate sites or buildings ss some one might have a better offer •than Dr. Bence. The meeting, which was held In the assembly room of the court house, was called to order by Mrs. David Maze, the president, at 2:30 o’-ciock. Dr. Bence’s offer was one of the first matters of business to be disposed of Another piece of business attended to by the members of the association was the changing of the name of the association from the Putnam Hospital association to the Putnam County Hospital Association. The Resolution offered by the committee in its report follows: Resolved, That after due consideration of the propsition liefore us with its restrictions and limitations, we hereby deem it advisable for us to recommend to the Putnam county Hospital Association that it decline Dr. Bence’s very kind proposition much as we regret that we do so Signed by Members of Committee. A plan by which to raise money by subscription for furthering the project was suggested and adopted. Twenty-five captains were appointed by Mrs. Maze. Each captain will be given a certain district in which to solicit funds. The captains appointed are as follows: Mrs. Ed. Lynch, Mrs. Henry Jo"dan, Mrs., Charles Barnaby, Mrs. Frank Donner, Mrs. Hattie Moore, Mrs. Henry Grubb, Mrs. G. W. Bence, Mrs. Frank Arnold, Mrs. Jennie Black, Mrs. Charles Bridges, Russellville, Mrs. U. V. O’Daniel, Mrs. Alex, l/ockridge, Mrs. C. W.
