The patrons and friends of the City
Hospital will be pleased to learn that
the ladies of the Hospital Association
have decided to have an Emergency
Booth, at the coming State Fair. 1t
is remembered how beneficial to the
public this department became during
the week of the Elk's Carnival, and
how each one of the many patients re-
ceiving treatment at that booth pro-
nounced it a grand success, and that
the attention given him had been of the
very best. The booth for the fair will
be on much larger scale than the one
for the carnival, as it is possible to Sc
cure greater space, and the facilities

greatly enlarged. The erection and
decoration of the booth will be under
the direction and supervision of Mrs.

and white, and will be fitted up IN the
most approved style as an up-to-date
