HISTORY OF HOSPITAL AND A
PLEA FOR MORE LOYAL SUPPORT.
Publicity Committee Prepares State
ment Concerning Hospital Work
and Pleas for its Support.

AS monument to the persistent
and faithful efforts OF a few women,
the Patton Memorial hospital stands,
a tangent evidence of noble purpose
fulfilled
When a number of ladies of this city
became convinced that some means
should be provided for the care of the
sick who were unable to procure pro-
per medical attention and nursing,
they met, November %, 1905, to dis
cuss ways and means of meeting this
need. But none of them realized how
far-reaching the effects of that meeting
were destined to be.
At that time an organization was
effected and officers elected. At first
the society was. called the Flower
Mission" Later, as the scope of its
usefulness broadened, the Henderson
vile Hospital association.
A charter was obtained for this as
sociation in 1911, and the physicians
of the town joined, making the organi-
zation stronger and comforting upon
it by their membership dignity and
greater usefulness than hitherto en-
joyed.
Inc u00u OI DuuU1uS suitable IOr
hospitable purposes was urgent, and
in January, 1912, a mass meeting was
called to convene at the court mouse
At that meeting 100000 was pledged
to build hospital
The lot upon which to build was the
generous gift of Mrs. Annie Patton
whose name the hospital bears.
The hospital was built and opened
to the public, July 21st, 1912. It is
situated in the northern part of town
On the Asheville road, and commands
a view of a wide range of mountains.
and while within the town limits, &c
is surrounded. by large tracts of wood
ed and cleared land, giving the pa
.ttents the advantage of pure country

scenery. 6. : - -

LESSONS FROM CURRENT EVENTS.
Rev. x. w. CaWthOn Tries MefhOd OF
Touching Upon Moral Phases of
Current Events in PuIuit.


Church-goers who attend the Sun
day evening services at the First Bap-

hearing Pastor X. w. Cawthon draw a
moral lesson from current events, To-
cal and otherwise.
Mr.. Cawthon has announced that at
each morning service he will announce
the current event to be touched upon
in his sermon on the night following.
Judging from the size of the con-

service that he would in the course
of his sermon touch upon the sinking
of the Lusitania by German subma

the sermons. The congregation was
probably the largest ever known for

Steedman was not an applicant for the
position. In considering this petition
the board expressed fear that the
duties of the position would be so
heavy as to tax Miss Steedman and
not Wishing to burden her in this re-
spect the petition was not granted.
While Professor Briggs is not ac-
squainted with the younger generation
Sof Hende Jacksonville. he holds warm
place in the friendship of many of
the older people of this community.
Soon after finishing college Prof.
Briggs accepted position as teacher
under Principal Boone of Judson col
