Friends Of the Augusta City hsspital Fitting
Up Large Room.

An effort is being made by friends Of
the City hospital to furnish the largest
private room in an especially attractive
manner. The idea is to accomplish this
work entirely without drawing upon
the receipts of the hospital, which IT is
absolutely necessary to hold against cur
rent running expenses. Whatever is
done, therefore. must come in the form
OF special donations. A good beginning
has already been made. The idea is to
MT UP the room with white enameled
furniture.
A prominent Augusta citizen started
the work 10y contributing complete
outfit of dainty dishes with pretty
little wall cabinet to hold them. 9th
ers have contributed bureau, poles
and draperies for the doors, and a large
reproduction of the Angelus in white
frame. This is certainly a good start,
but considerably more must be done
before the room is completed. There
is still needed commode, mirror, an
art square, lace curtains for two win
dows, a commode set. bureau cover,
rocking chair, three or four pictures.
and two or three rugs. A few fancy
articles would also help to lend light
and cheer to the apartment.
This is quite list, but experience has
shown that our citizens feel just pride
know what is needed in order to sup
ply it.
This is beginning in fitting up the
private rooms at the hospital with
those articles of warmth and cheer
which go SO far to make them pleasant
for their occupants. 1t is well for those
of us who are in health. to give a
thought now and then to those in sick
ness and suffering, nor will any of us
lose anything by contributing within
our powers, to the relief and pleasure
of such people. Those who engage in
any way in acts like this are doing
Gods work, in the community.
How many kind hearted men and wo
men in our city, have had a thoughtful
care of the sick in our hospital will be
shown in the annual report soon to be
issued. The number Is sure to increase
largely as the work and needs of the
become better known and
