The Johnston county Hospital is now complete and ready for occupancy, and tonight Dr. and Mrs. Orr will receive visitors and show them over the splendidly equipped institution. The hospital will be open from 7 to 10 o’clock to any who wish to look the building over. A number of rooms and wards have been furnished by individuals, various organizations, and these will be designated by appropriate door plates.
During the past week the work of getting things in readiness has been going forward rapidly, a large portion of the furniture having been placed. The work on the grounds has resulted in quite a neat appearance, and the promise later of grass, and shade and blossoms. The Civic department of the Woman’s Club and the Boy Scouts have been instrumental in the planting of numerous shrubs and flowers, the response from the call for donations having been most gratifying.
Dr. Orr, on behalf of the hospital organization, desires to express thanks through these columns for the loyal support and the enthusiastic cooperation of those who have manifested their interest in the institution. Those who have contributed flowers and shrubs are too numerous to mention by name, but in addition there have been some cash donations among which is a check for $10 from Dixon Wallace, all of which the Hospital appreciates very much.
