Mr. Editor.
Dear Sir: It is through the
columns of your paper Ave wish
to openly declare our apprecja
tion ol the kindness and extend-
ed hands shown us during the
sickness of T. W. McCormick.
First to our trustwoithy and
eminent physician Dr. C M. Cash
we
owe gratitude for it was
through his attentivene$s and by
the skilled hand in his practice
that we are permitted to offer
these lines.
But be it understood that the
Dr stauds not alone on the
threshold of our hearts for it
seems to he that was sick that it
took quite a score of attendants
to supply his wants while m his
agonies. And it is needless to
say that his wants wore sunolied
for from among our neighbors
and friends this needed score
was always present.
And thewifowas relieved from
tho duties of the culinary de-
partment by our lady friends.
1 hough our sickness was but
of a few days yet it Was by no
means of a mild form-
Again our hearts ariso within
us and exc'aim Gratitude! for
wh.le the convalescent was lying
on las bed near the south window
to uis surprise he saw his field
oTif youngTady friends came in to
holp'prepure a dinner for tho
abevo bust of laborers.
And now now good Sanaritnns
onoandallpleuso accept this as a
token of our appreciation of your
open he&rted full handed and un-
bounded Saniarltianism.
May wo live tq return many of
tho favors. And may the bles-
sings of a hlghor r 0 wer rest upon
all Is our wish.
Ro?poctfully
Mr. and Mrs. T. W. McCornlck.
