in 1927 with the births in the institu tion outnumbering the deaths by six to one the hospital which has added a nurses home this year through the generosity of a private donor has spread in fame throughout the sur rounding district until now- patients are brought from far and near to re ceive medical attention while there were 2s3 cases at tended to in the hospital in 1927 in the year just passed the number jumped to 406 said mr ewes who drew attention to the fact that of these cases 153 came from the town while 247 of the total number repre sented county patients indicating the manner in which the outlying districts have become concerned in the work of the new institution births hgh in 1928 there were 76 births at the hospital and only 13 deaths continued the speaker referring to
