been severed, the arteries tied up and the

ITS WORK FOR GOOD.
Continued from 10th Page.

Electric Company has equipped the
railroad from Sandhy with electricity,
thus giving rapid transportation from
the city to Bethesda. These improve
ments will be of great benefit to Be-
thesda, as they will bring many people
to see what is going on there and in
terest them in the work of the Society.
No more pleasant drive than that by
the new shell road to Bethesda can be
found in the county; nor can a pleas
anter trip by trolley car be imagined
than by the newly equipped line. These
conveniences bring Bethesda in close
touch with Savannah. In behalf of the
Managers l invite the members of the
Society and the citizens generally to
visit this great charity and historic
spot.
Greater familiarity with it's merits
would greatly increase the number ~
it's friends. Instead of their being only
two hundred and seventy-eight menu
bers in Savannah, we should nave nVe
hundred members. We need their
five dollars per annunl--it will do us
more good than it will do them. Twen-
ty new members will educate, feed and
clothe one more orphan.
To T. z. Ravenel, Esq, we are i'm
dehted for unusual legal services, and
also to Messrs. Lawton & Cunningham,
who are always ready to assist u.s.
Thanks are due to our medical staff
for gratuitous and efficient services
during the year.
