hospital and then only in the. rarest cases will it be necessary to
carry patients elsewhere. One of the first objections that will
be urged against a home hospital is "the lack of capable sur
geons." This we do not believe. We are of the opinion that
if Grenada doctors are given the tools to work with and a place
in which to work that they will prove capable of the most deli
cate and critical surgical work. Take the city of Memphis for
example. The surgeons who are doing the greatest amount
of work there and who are attaining the greatest celebrity are
country doctors, and from Mississippi, too.
Grenada, as heretofore urged, is ideally located for a
modest hospital. Dozens of patients are carried from the
county every year to outside hospitals; the surgical attention
and hospital needs of these total full So, 900. This of itself is
enough to Justify a hospital in our midst, but we are growing

HOSPITAL FOR GRENADA COUNT FIRST.

Grenada and Grenada county would do well to put any
contributions they may desire to make to a hospital to be To-

in building big hospitals in big cities, but similar enterprises.

TO foot the bills of the average city surgeon. Now all this
would not be true if there were not already big hospitals in the
big cities. We appreciate the need, the absolute necessity. of
the city hospital. They have rendered a Christlike service and
are still dong so. but we can not see the necessity of a SEEMING
rivalry for the biggest endowment between organizations whose
prime purpose is not caring for the physical needs of humanity.
OF course it is but natural that when a man is on the bed of
affection and i. told that he must be rushed to a hospital in a
