Known By It's Newspapers.

Our esteemed contemporary the
Memphis Commercial-Appeal new
or uttered wiser or truer words
than when it said: "A communi-
ty is known by its newspaper. The
character of the town or city is re-
Aected in its pages. In no way
can a city make an impression of
local energy and ambition as by
cordially and generously uphold
ing an enterprlsing newspaper
management. The stranger will
detect instantly the real spirit Of
a community in the columns Of
the home paper. If the advertise.
ments be few there is a sure indi-
cation of lethargy and indiffer-
ence among the business men.
But if they be many, and rival
firms are using plenty of printer's e
ink, each trying to out do the
other. the reader at once knows
there is life and business in the
place and that it is worth while to
live among such people" ."-Rayne
Tribune.

We sell fast and succeed not be-
cause we sell below cost, that does
not pay, but because our profits
are very small and we treat all our
customers alike and have only one
price.

THE VIRGINIA HOSPITAL.
An Interesting Review of the Work
of the Past Year.

of the Past Year.
The letter and statistical report sub
mitted by Mr. Edgar d. Taylor, the d.
rector in charge. to the stockholders OF
the Virginia Hospital. at the meeting
held Wednesday. give an interesting re-
view OF the years work of the institu-
ton. In his letter. Mr. Taylor says:
The second year OF the existence of
the Virginia Hospital has just passed.
and It affords me pleasure. as a repre-
sentative OF your Executive Committee
to submit the attached report OF the
work done. You will see from the re-
port that the good accomplished Tor the
benefit OF suffering humanity surpasses
that OF the first year. l hope as each
year rolls around that we may continue
TO report an increase In the good work
we are all engaged in. Our medical and
surgical staff have been faithful In the
discharge Of their duties, without receiV-
ing any compensation whatever. TOO
much praise cannot be given them Tor
the many sacrifices they have made In
discharging their duties.
Our Ladies' Auxiliary have done
noble work. They have paid the run
ming expenses of the hospital by giving
entertainments pound-parties, ETC., and
we pass out of the second year. as we
did out OF the first. free OF debt, so FAR
as the expense OF running the institution
Is concerned. God bless them in their
good work.
As to the financial condition, respect
fully refer you to our treasurers re-
port, which will show amount received
and paid out by him, and indebtedness
on the building. Few hospitals OF long
existence have run as smoothly as ours.
Nurses are polite and attentive 10 all
patients, be they pay or charity.
The running Of the institution has re-
minded me of q timepiece that never
runs down.
THEY NEED MORE ROOM.
Mr.. Taylor emphasizes the need OF
more room, states that nearly 5000 has
been raised toward building an annex,
and adds:
Colonel W. f. Cutshaw kindly drew
a set OF plans for the enlargement that
will give US room for 40 patients. HIS
plans, with a few notifications. will cost
$1,000 complete. This amount we would
like 10 raise and commence work at
once. and I hope this will be accom-
pllshed in the near future. as we are
unable to accommodate many applicants.
1 am giad 10 INFORM you mat our 6cr-
man ladies have organized a German
American. Ladies' Auxiliary in connec-
ton with our hospital. They will fur
nish a ward in the new building. They
are now doing good work in connection
with our Ladies' Auxiliary In helping to
take care OF the sick poor OF our city
and State.
Our training-school has accomplished
much good In training ladies' for pro-
fessional nursing. To this end We have
had demand for nurses from severai
parts Of Virginia and North Carolina.
In many Instances we have been unable
to supply the demand. respectfully call
your attention to that part Of my re-
port which refers to number and class
OF patients treated.
In closing my report wish to return
my sincere thanks to all connected with
our hospital. for the kindness and as
