In letter written this morning to

expressed that the county court will
lend a helping hand to the noble

ance of we'll equipped hospital. The
letter follows:

gratulate the Kings Daughters on the

it's countrywide scope be kept promi-
nently in the fore ground. AS ugn.
derstand subscriptions will be solic-
tied from all sections within Maury

There is not neighborhood In the

only well equipped hospital can ex'
tend, The business-like methods the
Kings Daughters have formulated
betokens success. For several years
L-.have on occasions sought to Inn
press our county court with its duty
to the afflicted poor.
The absence of any competent
Christian organization capable and
ready to take over the management oi

less In the past caused the court tt

Now, since the Kings Daughters.
