Harrington Loses Physician
We regret to announce that DR.. II.
E. THOMSON, a we'll known physician,
will soon leave our midst to take up
his new duties with DR.. G. B. Wix, a
New York specialist.
DR.. Thomson was graduate OF the
Jefferson College, Philadelphia. After
completing his college career, he be-
gan practicing in Laurel, his nome
town, during the flu epidemic of 1918,
when the burden of work fell mostly
upon DR.. T. G. Riley, one whose name
was known for many years past. he
came to Harrington and began his
practice here; though total strang-
sr then, he soon made many friends
and his practice grew by bounds un-
til today he has very little time to call
his own. The moving of DR.. Thomson
now leaves the burden of work up to
Doctors Chapman and Powell. Dr. ]
Chapman is hustler and will be well
able to take care of great deal OF
practice, but it is feared that there
will be more then he can attend to.
DR.. and Mrs. Thomson were very
popular here and both were born in
laurel. For his wife he took Miss Car
lie Riggan, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. I
Harley o. Riggan, and they have {
amily of two fine children.
