NURSES HOME
BrightIOOk Hospital Ready to Con-
struct One-Gifts by Mrs. Rebec-
ca Fairbanks and Others.

The trustees of Brightlook Hospi-
tai are pleased to announce that
through the generosity of Mrs. Re-
becca Fairbanks, together with the
provision made in the wills of the
late Carrie Underwood and Harvlin
Paddock, they can proceed at once
to erect the nurses home and CEN
trail heating plant.
HarVlin Paddock, a former trus-
tee of the hospital. left $4,000 in
memory of his son, Edward w. Pad
dock, for the uses and purposes of
the hospital. The trustees have
voted that the central heating plant
be memorial to both Mr.. Paddock
and his son. Miss Underwood by
her will, named the sum of $4,000
to be used in some way to help on
the nurses home project. The
funds thus forthcoming will be used
to purchase equipment and furnish
ings that will provide efficient ser
vice and attractive surroundings.
Because of Mrs. Fairbanks inter
est in the hospital, she has offered
to provide the necessary funds to
erect the building for a nurses

accept her most generous offer, and
the building to be erected will be a
memorial to Mrs. Fairbanks.
Mrs. Fairbanks, from the found
ing of the hospital, has been in
defatigable in her interest in, work
for, and gifts to the hospital. With
out her aid thus far it is safe to
say that no hospital building would
today crown the commanding site
which is the admiration of all. The
trustees cannot speak too enthusias-
ticaIly or appreciatively of this
latest manifestation of her generous
interest.
Plans for the nurses home and
central heating plant have been
made by Louis S. Newton of Hart
ford. The contract for the erection
of the building has been let to the
firm of J. H. Mendell & Company of
N. H, the same firm
now making the changes on the
school house property. Work will
begin at once, and it is hoped to
have the buildings ready for use
early in 1914.

BASE BALL OF THE WEEK
Local Organization Defeated Woods
vile 3 to O-Sunset League
Game

Saturday afternoon the local base
ball team defeated the aggregation
from Woodsville by the score OF
80. The game was Interesting
from the spectators point of view,
but the sperior playing of the home
team seemed to put the visitors en-
tirely in the shade.
Speare, our southpaw, had consid-
cradle on the ball for at least II
men went down before his curves
and smoky" ones. Garneau, the
Woodsville box-artist managed to
strike out only four men. When
it came to hitting, the locals SEEM
ed to have something on their op-
ponents inasmuch as they registered
seven hits for a total of eight bases
against five for a total of five The
New Hampshire boys were unable
to steal any bases, while the ST
Johnsbury team had a total of three
to their credit. The visitors drew
three errors, while St. Johnsbury
only made one. Both pitchers passed
a man, and Garneau hit one.
The team is to be congratulated

Sunset League Games
Tuesday evening the Red Men
won a very loosely played game
when they defeated the reorganized
Toilers by the decisive score of to

box for the Toilers and the Indians
seemed to be able to hit him quite
freely for they pounded out six runs
in the first three innings. However,
this was party due to the poor sup
port which he received from the
rest of his team.
