Our receipts have been about two hundred ($200.00) dollars less than last year, which is due to the large amount of free work we have done this year. This year we have treated aixty (60) free patients or about one- third of our total number of pa tients, whereas last year we'itreated thirty-one (31) free patients, or about one-fifth of the total num ber of patients. But we arO happy in being able to say that wi have paid all our bills and havain small balance to start the new year with. We owe a great deal to our gen erous winter residents, who have so freely contributed of their means toward improvements, on the plant and have taken such great 'interest in It. ; We have just been authorized by one who has done so much for us, to engage another graduate nurse at his expense, and we hay« taken steps to get her from the same wor thy Institution that the breesent worthy nurses cams from. This will lighten the work on the : present force. A start has been made on the new Operating Pavilion, a sift of our never-failing friends, and it. will be modern in every respect. An elevator will be here hi a few days, which, when Installejl, will greatly .facilitate' the transferring of patients from one floor to the other. The nurses are very grateful for the many expressions of apprecia tion from old patients and will al ways be glad to receive visits from them. Is it not strange that with all this good work, there should still be kickers? We have Just heard ot a "High Kicker,” from Pavo, -who Bald he was going to see his County Commissioner, Mr. Adams, and find out why the County paid the Hos pital $600.00 a year. Not so much to gratfy the "Kick er,’’ as to save Mr. Adams annoy- 29.01 janes, we having the information at 47.14 I hand for our annual report, here Is 1,200.001 what the county pays the Hospital 12.50 I $600.00 a year for: 110.30 1 AA’e have treated FREE of charge | sixty (60) patients, and at wha' $4,822.16 they were able to pay. twenty-four (24) more patients: which, figured at our regular rates amounts to Every patient from Thomasville is a County patient, as he pays his taxes as well as "Kick er.” The city pays $600.00 and the County $600.00, or a total of $1,200 annually. Hence the City and Coun ty are indebted to the poor Hospi tal to the amount of $450.00 -for the past year. Mr. "Kicker,” please don’t trou ble Mr. Adams now, as you have all the facts before you.
