The Annual
Charity Ball.

The Charity ball. Feb. 1. which
promises to be the social event OF the
season, will be given by the Hospital
Aid Society for the benefit of the Au-
gusta General hospital,
When we consider the amount of
money needed to keep the hospital
supplied with linen. blankets, gowns,
etc, and maintain a free bed, we
realize something of the work of the
Aid.
The soeity also supports the district
nurse and has already set apart over
$1,000 towards the $4,000 needed for a
perpetual free bed fund
The society constantly called upon
to contribute toward the purchase of
appliances and instruments needed in
the institution
The Charity ball has become an an
nual event and by it the society
realizes a goodlS sum, as well as fur
nish delightful social occasion, in
which all our towns people should be
interested
