To the Member* ot the Hoard of
Trustee* of the City Hospital
Gentlemen:—Although the first
of the year has some time passed
I beg herewith to present to y. t
my annual report of th* work of
the Hospital for the year 1008.
have delayed making this report
in the ;hope» of being able to
make a definite statement in re-
gardjto certain"matters concern
ing the proposed erection ef a new
building which have long been
under advisement. Iam yet no
able to make any snch definite
st atement or say that the special
committee is ready to report! and
suoh statement os I have to make
on that question I prefer to ran
dor orally and informally,
I can say this, however, that
tho committee has not been inac
tive and that they have reason
hope of being .able to offer
e dofinite Jpropoaition within
ort time. The iund* in hand
well oared tor and are
\ small interest. While
efforts are being made by
friends of the hospital to add to
funds as rapidly as possible,
matter of this kind it iUar
ttor to go slowly than to make
, mistako.
Even with our small plant and
st; equipment, the hospital has been
doing excellent work while the de
mands upon it grow eaoh month
Wo have fairly outgrown our pres
ent quarters, for during this past
month patients have had to wait
for rooms to be vaoated.
The Woman’s Board has con
sented to render the same faithful
and efficient supervision of tho in
ternal affairs which come undor
their management, while the
house keeping and nursing service
has been ' quite as Satisfactory as
our limitod arrangements oan
provide. It is a gratifying fast
that almost ovory patient leaves
tho hospital with expressions of
gratitude and] appreciation of the
kind and efficient oare they have
received.
Two or three times in the courso
of the year wo have been com.
polled to call in'the assistance of
ujeolored nurse for oxtra work. In
foot I t thi»k the time has some
when we should regularly employ
a good intelligent colored woman
as assistant nurse and helper in
the colored ward. Aenmofmon.

ous friend toward the ourrent ex
penses, a portion of which remains
and whioh I' think oonld most ap-
’ proprlately be used for this pur
pose.
From Jan. 1st. 1008 to Jan. 1st.
1004 forty oases were treated,
few more white than colored. (I
have not the book at hand to
' quote exactly.) As eaoh case is
on reoord, I will not enumerate
the case* in detail but simply
state that 85 were medical case*
and 15 surgical, many of them
serious and some of them remain
ing in th* hospital for a number
of week*. '
Daring the past year only
deaths have ooourred in th* hos
pital and both were hopeless cases
’ ‘when entered. I may add that
during th* week or ten days just
past three very serious operations
were performed and all have made
V good recoveries. The hospital
> has not lost a surgical case in
more than two years. I consider
that the time has come when wo
ought to systematize our medical
service and either arrange for a
regularly elected staff of physi
cians or arrange a scheme by
which certain physicians should
be in charge of the hospital for a
certain length of time and should

The government report on Thom-
Seville’* mortality for 1908, has
just been made publio. While pre
senting no surprise* to those who
are acquainted with the real con
dition of affairs, the report will
be astounding to many soreheads
who have thought that Thomas-
villa is a hot bed of consumption.
Th* report'shows that during
lOOSjthere were five death* to eaoh
tttouiand of resident white* and
sixteen to each thousand of res!
dent negroes. There was not
single death among tbs resident

LONGER COURT TERMS.
CRACKERS REORGANIZE.
Local Gun Club! Prepares for Actlva
Sport This Summer.
An organization that affords a
great deal {.of pleasure to local
sportsmen is the Craeker Gun
CInb. It has not been very active
during the last few months bnt
the members have reorganized
and are determined to keep
things moving along the Jiue of
marksmanship this spring, and
summer.
They will hold weekly shoots
every Friday afternoon, and will
meet, a number’ofjtho clubs from
other cities in matches. These
matches almost invariably'result
in a victory for Thomnsville as
this city jins some of the host
shots in the state.
The first shoot of the season.was
held Friday afternoon. Eigh
teen members of the club took
part and Mr. Pliny'jHeeth, Jr.
made the best score. ~
Colquitt and Barrlen to Have Two
Weak* Session.
At the next session of the legis
lature an effort will be made to
have the dates ohanged for the
regular setting of Superior court
iu Colquitt and Berrien counties.
This object ot the change will be
to make it poseible to continue
the seeeion of the court over into
the second week, when there is
more business than can be trans
acted in one week. Under the
present arrangement of dates for
holding court this cannot be
done. i
There is a great deal of lititrst-
tion in Berrien and Colquitt and
it has reaohed the point where ad
journed terms have to be fre
quently held to oatch up with
business. It is not expected that
there will be any objection to the
proposed ohange of tho court cal
endar.
Mr. A. K. Smith, Jr., was her*
fcamPidooek Friday.
Th* McKinley Trees.
The court house yard iu Thom-
asville is rarely and radiantly dif
ferent from the hare and unat
tractive surroundings whioh usual
ly mark a Georgia temple of jus
tice. The trees and flowers are
unusually attractive. Of special
mterest to those who visit tho
yard, are the trees sent from
Washington by President ond
Mrs.] McKinley, and named in
their honor. Tho tree sent by the
martyred president has grown
large and tall, while that named
for bis wife is but half the size.
An Honast Act.
The Pullman porter on the run
between Thomasville and Mont
gomery is an honest negro, and
waa receiving praise from a good
many people. Friday. A lady
who arrived on that car Friday
morning left a parse containing
some money and a number of val
uable diamonds in her berth.
Instead of making way with them
at a less houest negro might have
done, he carried the purse to the
Kentucky stables, inquired there
where the hacknian had taken the
lady and delivered the diamonds
to her before she had discovered
her loss. He ought to have a
gold medal.
Executive Commltteo Hera.
The Executive Committee of
the Mercer Baptist Association
met here Friday. They at
tended the services at the Baptist
chnroh in a body and afterwards
met for the transaction of buai-
naaa at the paatorium.
