The addition, which will be start ed as soon as the necessary plans can be made, will consist of about 20 rooms. It with the new equipment to be purchased, will make St. Peter's one of the most modern Institutions of its kind in the South. The board of managers of the hos pital nave been wanting more room for some time. It is gratifying to the managers that the vestrymen of the church are bo ready to co-operate with them In making of the hospital what they desire It to be. The vestry of the church Is com posed of the following named: Capt. John Wilkes, Messrs. Heriot Clarkson, H. J. Gregg, J. H. Ham, James Ker, Jr., J. L Sexton, T. W. Davis, Fred (Nash.
