We wish to place on record our ap-
probation of the appropriations made
by the County Board and to give ex-
preston to our gratitude for the gen
erous helpfulness OF your Honorable
Body.
In the passing of Mr.. Watson, the
secretary Of the Board, we suffered
severe loss. He was man OF ster-
ling character, who endeared himself
to his friends by his gentle kindness
of heart and unshakable honor. While
a member of the Board his keen inter
est was evidenced by his perennial en-
! thusiasm in promoting everything FOL
| the comfort Of these unfortunate PEG
pie and for the advancement Of the i'll
stitution generally.
| Our visiting physician, DR.. r. G
| Godfrey, is ever Jealous in maintain
| ing a high standard of healthful en-
yironment for the patients, making :
lscrutinizing examination weekly. Hi:
skill in diagnosis, quiet demeanor, anc
admirable patience make him pecul
iarly fitted to minister to these unfor
! Inmates.
| The varied mood Of the patients
must be sympathetically treated anc
their contentment is largely attribut
able to the kindness of conscientious
| employees.
We thank the Agricultural Associa.
ton for admission to the Fair, the
churches for Thanksgiving services
and all who have manifested an inter
est in the Hospital and Home.
Respectfully submitted,
