will be listed and a complete report
made on same The weights of all
packages will be- recorded and the
postage paid on them. This will en-
tail a lot of extra work at the Bam-

DR.. H. J. Stuckey was out this
week soliciting subscriptions to the
capital stock of company which is
soon to be organized to build coun-
tv hospital. We do trust the move
ment will succeed so that people
can be operated on and treated here
in some cases instead of being carried
to the cities. The shares are only
SIS each, and everybody should take
at least one or more shares. If the
institution never pays a dollar divi-
dend, we should be willing to do this
much for our county.
