nir nicely, his physician reports.
Tuesday, March 11th, Mrs. Lawon

the care of the hospital for some ten
lays, returned to her hum".
The local hospital has been unusually
successful and is rendering a
griat service to this and adjoining
counties. Many people cannot go to
the cities for hospital treatment and
in many cases it is dangerous to put
off an operation until a di tant point
can be reached. The work of the'
local institution should be highly!
appreciated by citizens of this see- i
lion.
