BY Attending the Philharmonic Concert
and BY Other Means.

Editor Barre Daily Times: see by
your paper that some 81 Che ladies 81
our city. Wiz, the Philharmonic club, are
proposing 20 give q concert ii aid 81
The City hospital. ! have always been
interested IN our city having a hospital
and now that we have one. am anxious
that ways and means may be devised
where we VIII not only have a hospital
that viii answer for urgent cases, but d
hospital that will cover all cases ia our
city and surrounding districts.
That the concert to be given by the
ladies' of the Philharmonic club IN the
Congregational church viii be one Of the
best concerts ever given In our city, there
can Be no reason 70 doubt We must all
agree That anything the ladies take In
hand % DO they do IN such a manner
that It i not only creditabie 70 them, but
leaves no room for criticism. While I
do not think it viii be necessary &C this
time TO urge the public Is pafronize the
concert given by the ladies Wednesday
evening ! do wish 70 state that the cause
to which they are donating their services
Is worthy Of consideration hy every one
81 rs. aud / hope that the example SET
hy this club Of ladies will be followed,
not only BY all the clubs composed Of
lady citizens. but by an clubs and crgani.
utions, trade, business Of social, com.
posed Of our male citizens
II interest Is taken. as il shoeld be-
by every one in our city there Is no rea.
son why Barre could not have the best
hospital in the state. We have great
need Of an efficient hospital in our dis.
trict. with 20 many of our workinemen
employed not only in hazardous work,
but IN breeding work, which no
one can deny when they consider the
number ol our young citizens ly0ung in
yearsl, fathers 81 families, who are con
stantly being afflicted hy same and Ia
many Instances through the lack Of
proper treatment and the lack Of funds
to receive same. and who are taken from
among us and their families left to take
care Of themselves a. best they can, with
what little assistance the city may be
able 10 give them
Is It not The duty Of the citizens to try
and provide lrmtment. and that Of the
very best. for those who may be inca
paeitated By injury Or disease while fol-
lowing their usual vocationsf
III such was DONE II would not only be
q work worthy Of az religious denomina.
tons futernal bodies. social clubs, trade
and business organizations. bat would be
q good business proposition for our city
as C would guarantee our citizens and
the best treatment that it was
possible TO give. whenever injured or A.
Hioted with disease Of any kind, and
would also give our physicians the "a
perience necessary for their calling. AL
though We have some of the best physi.
cians IN our midst an tie most danger
ons cases ior important casesl are sent
% another city for no other reason than
that they have better hospital aecommo.
aations We are depriving our medical
advisers and surgical operators Of their
best experience and thereby depriving
Of tie advantage OF that *.
perience.
Money row spent IN paying expenses
# operations, treatment and railroad
fares 70 other cities would be circulated
II our own city Where It does good
