Irby Property in Laurens Converted Into Splendid Building. Laurens, Oct. 11.?After the first ol * next month the Laurens county hospital will be located in new quarters. The old Irby Mansion, on South Harper street, now the property of Miss Julia Irby, founder and manager of the Laurens hospital, is undergoing a geieral overhauling for its new uses and will be ready for occupancy November 1. ^ Messrs. J. D. Sexton & Son have the contract and are pushing the work energetically. The upper floor of the building, on which there were origin ally six rooms 22 by 24 feet each, with ^ a large hallway, has been transformed into eleven patient rooms, four linen rooms, operating and sterilizing rooms, two baths and other necessary equipment. The kitchen, sun parlor and so on wil be on the first floor. A new roof is being placed on the build x ing, ihe front and back porches en larged and remodelled. When completed the eld mansion will be one of the handsomest in the city and peculiarly well suited for hospital purposes, the grounds being ample and splendidly located. The physicians of city and several visitors, who have inspected the new quarters, pronounce the plans most admirable and state that the Laurens hospital will be one of the best in the State. The Laurens hospital was estab lished more than a yea ago. Miss Julia Irby and her aunt, Miss MacFarlane, both trained nurses of long and successful experience, being the moving spirits in the enterprise. A large new -4 building, erected for residential purposes by .Mr. \Y. L. Gray, was secured and here Misses Irby a.:d MacFarlane have conducted most successfully an institution that has been a blessing to this city and the surrounding country. The hospital is now well established. The pluck and enterprise Miss Irby has shown and is exhibiting in managing the interests of this institution nas enlisted the hearty cooperation of the citizens and public generally in pro moting the cause. The Irby Mansion was built by Miss Irby's grandfather, Col. Jas. H. Irby, a distinguished lawyer, a.id at one time lieutenant governor of the State. Subsequently the property passed into the possession of the late 1 >!. J L. M. Irby, son of Col. Jas. H. Irby, and father of the present owner. A few years ago it was purchased by Mrs. J. WiUe Jones, an aunt of Miss Irby's. Upon her 1" Pr. W '\ !r'?v i of h's f'.'U vCs o*' i :,cy% ,:- v. ; r d " W ? ' " . O* J 1, "\j I Eread CAREFULLY encing Monday, Oct.
