The weather added much to the opening of the new hospital for the day was certainly an ideal one for the occasion and the people showed their appreciation of the hospital being located in our town by turning out en masse. It was estimated that some five hundred people were present in the afternoon and more than that number crowded the new institution in the evening. Dr. Moody and wife received the people in a most hospitable manner and showed the guests ov?r the place assisted by Misses Ridge, Grace, Hayes, Grant and Mrs. Simmons, the latter also tak ing charge of the distribution of the souvenirs which were post cards of the building In the evening visitors were en tertained by sweet strains of music throughout the evening from our orchestra. The high school pupils interspersed a musisal program which was very much enjoyed. The Moody hospital is certainly an institution of which our people should be proud and something that will be a credit. A traveling man who was present at the open ing after being shown over the in stitution remarked that Clarence had an opportunity with the new hospital that many a larger town might be glad to have. Long live our new hospital. Parlor Drug: Store WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED Election. The city and school election which occurred in our city last Tuesday, April 1, was one of the quietest affairs of many years. The place of voting in the school election as usual was in No. 1 at the school building and resulted in the re-election of M. Dimmitt and E. II. Rutter who had no oppo sition. And the good work of these two gentlemen will continue as directors of our school board. The place of voting in the east ward was in the old Shale building on Chestnut street and resulted in the election of S. H. Rickey, who will, no doubt, make a good offi cer; while the place of voting in the west ward was in M. Whitby's office in Center street and which resulted in the election of J. H. Sherwood as alderman for that ward. Mr. Sherwood will no doubt be "the man for the place" in this office. The ten cent levy was carried. Baptist Church.
