The good woman has of late weeks been considerably fatigued and nearly worn out by her labors and a n3eds the rest that tine improved health of the community, if it con- tinues is now likely to afford her. its hardly necessary to say that tho patients who have heretofore beer submitted to her care have al left he hospital with thankful praise fol her thoughtful attention and kindly mistration to their want and comfort.

There is no doubt that during the A. |. P. exposition there will bs hund- reds of tourists visit this city, so we should be in our best bin and tucker, md be able to explain why we are nere. T. should be organized on m in- expensive, plan no salaried officers, or expensive quarters, with man broad n their ideas. not so wrapped up in their own business or undertak ings hat they can not look beyond their oxn balance sheet-.men not endowed with narrow, jealous disposition tn.t keeps them always grouchy if some one else is doing as much or 3 little more business than they, but men who believe that prosperity for one is prosperity for all.
