Mrs. Thomas Lindsay.

In the death of Mrs. Thomas Lindsay.
at her home in Stockton last Friday
Worcester County lost kind and sym
pathetic resident. No woman in the
county had more friends or was better
liked. Her disposition was such that
she had cheerful word for everybody.
always hoping for the best, cheering
the troubled, and by her very presence
lifting their burden from them. She
was the most loyal of friends, and al
though the laws Of our state did not
give her the same privileges in partici-
pating in public affairs that the men
are entitled to, yet she kept posted in
such affairs, and was an ardent Demo
crat. ever standing ready to espouse
the cause Of the party and its candi-
dates.
In the home of sickness she was an
angel of mercy: at the wedding feast
she was a benediction and blessing
and at the death bed she was messen-
ger of eternal hope.
The world is decidedly better that
such woman lived in it, and we pray
God that many more like her may yet
fill the world with JOY and gladness.
Mrs. Lindsay was 66 years of age.
She was daughter of the late Josiah
Collins, in his day prominent citizen
of Worcester County. She leaves a
husband and one daughter, Mrs. Josie
Drummond.
The remains of Mrs. Lindsay We're
brought to Snow Hill and Inferred in
All Hallows Churchyard Saturday af-
ternoon.

Great Damage to Crops.

The farmers of this county have
experienced the wettest summer. of
their lives, and in many cases the sea-
son has been most disastrous for some
crops. Those who had wheat went
through many trials and hardships to
have it harvested, and equally as many
more to have it threshed and housed,
and in fact there is Ia large lot of wheat
standing in the fields in the shocks to-
day, awaiting the threshing machine.
and much that has been threshed is
damp and in poor plight. The steamer
Maryland carried $500 bushels from
Snow Hill to Baltimore Monday. and,
of this quantity, less than 500 bushels
was good prime wheat As to the corn
crop, conditions are very bad. except
in few cases. In the low lands the
fields were flooded weeks ago and
could not be worked. and in some of
them it is hard to tell witch is the main
crop the grass. the weeds or the corn.
Some fields of tomatoes look promising.
while others do not. and at this time it
is hard to tell how they will yield.

Peninsula General Hospital.

lTicomico News- 1.-The popularity of
the Peninsula General Hospital is clear
~ demonstrated by the large number
Of patients constantly in the hospital
For several months past the building
has been taxed TO accommodate the de-
mands made upon it, and if the rush
keeps up there will be knotty ques-
tion before the Board of Directors Of
having to enlarge the institution in or
der to meet the demands upon it. The
corps of nurses had to be increased,
and there is hardly day in which one.
two are three operations are not per-
formed. Our people now wonder how
we ever got along without il. Not only
the people of Wicomico county and the
city of Salisbury find il convenient and
necessary. but our neighbors in Wor-
cester and Somerset. as well as other
counties on the Eastern Shore, keep a
goodly number of their sick and suffer-
ing within the doors of this institution.
The State appropriation enables the d.
rectors TO keep the Hospital right up
to date. and one can get as good service
in Salisbury as in Baltimore, or any
other city.
