Went so high that when it was connected

L. s. GRANDY
Leaving for South America
Since about May 1, 1916, Mr. L. S.
Grandy has been a member of our com
munity, and a leader in the Construction
Department, and for the past fourteen
months has been superintendent of con
struction. Ilis qualities need no enume
ration to his friends in Badin, for he was
known and liked by everyone.
The Company having found need for
his services elsewhere, Mr. Grandy and
liis inseparable companions—that smile
and that little old pipe—will leave in
June for South America. The best wishes
of his friends go with him.
Mr. Grandy’s family will continue to
reside in Badin for the present.
Services of a special nurse are to be
paid for by patient. Special nurse will
be arranged for upon notice to the head
nurse.
The laboratory and drug room will be
under the direct supervision of the head
nurse, and medicine shall be issued on
prescription or requisition only.
Arrangements can be made with Dr.
Uainey to do any X-ray work.
Dr. Rainey will be in charge of the
operating-room, and arrangements for
its use can only be made thru him. A
responsible practicing surgeon will be
allowed to use the room on request of
the patient and the approval of Dr.
Rainey.
Any member of this department who
is under the care of or employs another
doctor may continue under such doctor
after going to the hospital.
