That the Association has had a prosperous year, and made some changes and additions to the Hospi tal equipment, as follows: Dividing one ward into two private rooms, put in hardwood floors in one room, one ward' and one bath-room, put the elevator into workable con dition and made other minor addi tions and changes ; but the most val uable addition is the new Electrica Sterilizer which is up-to-date and one of the best. made. The association has been especially' fortunate in the following particu lars: 1. In having faithful and efficient sperintendent and nurses, greatly in creasing the efficiency and usefulness of the hospital work. 2. In having such a faithful, influen tial and persevering president. 3. All the local doctors are patroniz ing the hospital, and doing much to make it a success, as well as keeping up the Nurses' Training School. 4. In having the friendly and indis pensable aid of the. board of county commissioners, in relieving the hos pital property of its mortgage in debtedness, for, which the hospital association, and all its friends are es pecially grateful. 5. In having many other friends, who from time to time, have given valuable assistance and service. The hospital being so largely pa tronized from this and adjoining counties, during the summer seasons, it has not had accommodations for all the applications made, render ing it necessary to make some addi tions, which are contemplated in the near future. The Hospital Association solicits the continuance of the assistance and irood will of all the people of this and -adjoining counties; and will greatly appreciate any' assistance or dona Hendersonville Hospital Association By Mrs. O.

Bomar) The closing of the formal time set for the Baptist Seventy-Five Million Campaign, . last Sunday night, found the Carolina Association over the top more than $5,000 in excess of the ap portionment $55,000. But this was raised by a dozen churches out ot forty-nine. The First Baptist ran its subscription up to more than $26,000, but others made advances just as notable. For instance, Mud Creek, asked for $2,500, reported more than $3,300; Beulah, asked for $600, gave over $2,032; Jones Gap, nearly $1,200, instead of $500. There are others. These are given as a sample. A full list will be published later. I want to say three things: First, All subscriptions have been given cheerfully, gladly and devotionally . Mr. R. H. Staton, who has had large experience, says that he never knew a canvass when the people sub scribed more cheerfully. Second, T have been asked repeatedly whether gifts or subscriptions can be desig nated. Yes, but that is not the very best way. Still, if one wants xo give all to the orphanage, or t aged preachers, or to missions,or to educa tion, it can be done, and ths gift will go as designated. Third, Although the campaign closed last Sunday night the canvass must keep up until every church in the Association has done its very level best by seeing every mem ber and getting either a subscription or a refusal. Tins is important. IT possible complete the canvass by next Sunday, but if that is not possible keep on until it is done, if it takes until Christmas. I greatly appreciate the cooperation of all my brethren and sisters. God's blessings be on them I.am proud of he workers.

QUARTET OF CANADIANS PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCE First Number in Lyceum Course Jlakcs Big Hit; Florentine ?Jus icians Here Saturday On last Friday evening at the Opera House about 500 people enjoyed the Canadian De Mille Quartet, as the opening number of the Hendersonville Lyceum Course. Enthusiastic and repeated encores of practically all of the numbers in dicated the unanimous approval of the audience. Notwithstanding the fact that the first and second tenors. M. J. Baker and Ernest Hazeltine recent ly joined the quartet, the ensemble work was that of real artists. The solo work of Alfred J. Atkin son, basso, and Hartwell De Miile was exceptionally good. The work of Miss Hilda Buckingham was greatly enjoyed and displayed not only techni cal skill but a decided wealih of tem perament. - The next number of the Lyceum Course will be given by the Florentine Musicians, Saturday evening of this week at the Opera Houso. In the absence of the Fassifern girls it will be possible for the management to accommodate at least seventy-five additional season . ticket holders or general admissions. This trio of sterling arci'it'?, espec ially organized by Andrew Vissochf, to present the best in the field of nov elty music and entertainment will doubtless prove one of the most popu lar numbers of the course. The musical centers of the world know Vissochi as one of the greatest masters of the concert accordion. In his hands this instrument becomes a symphony orchestra, a military band, or a crashing chorus. His repertoire knows no limitations and his support ing artists Olga Capuccio. violiniste, and Rosamond Wright, pianist, have won laurels in the realm of music on extended concert tours. BLUE RIDGE WINS FROM THE ASHEVILLE SCHOOL The Blue Ridge School defeated the Asheville School Varsity-Scrubs Wed nesday, Nov. 26, in a lively football game with an easy score of 27 to 6. The visitors scored within the first four minutes of play after a series of line bucks and short end runs . After receiving Asheville School succeeded in carrying the ball within Blue Ridge 1 danger zone barely making downs on Blue Ridge's two yard line. There the locals were held for three at tempts finally succeeding in making their only touchdown on the fourth. Neither team scored in the second quarter . During the last half the Blue Rid gians fought with such vigor and dash that they completely outclassed the Asheville School by scoring at will. Greer seized the pigskin on a fumble and made a 40-yard dash across the goal line. The Asheville School's line was unable to sustain attacks of Bangs and Rhodes both scoring through the line on 30-yard gains. A. Rhodes displayed his accustomed kick ing ability, kicking three goals out of four trials.. Upon gaining possession of the ball in the fourth quarter the Asheville School resorted to forward passes which with a single exception was broken un bv the Blue Ridge Scrubs which had been substituted. Mason and Drauehan distinguished themselves in defensive line work breaking up numbers of plays by the locals. Brown and Cotton did stellar work for the Asheville School but did not receive the support of the team. The results marked up the fourth game won by the Blue Ridgians this season and was the first defeat suf fered by the Asheville School on the gridiron for seven years .
