Roche was up on Greenville street again Sunday night visiting his friends. Col. Roche likes to go to town and he knows when he is in town. He called to see his old friend, Mr. R. L. Mabry, who has been sick with the "flu" for about a week. Whether or not Mr. Mabry gave him a dose of his "flu medicine" which acted as an appetizer, we do not know, but when we saw the Colonel he was evidently hungry. He was looking for a cook, he said, "white or black, male or female, and no questions asked about the price." He told us also that Judge J. S. Hammond, of our section of the city is about to work himself to death during the cold weather. He is so anxious for work that he has taken a job out in the country. He was unable to take a job which Col. Roche wishes done, and the latter then applied to Carpenter Enlow, of Wilson Hill, but found that he hqd a job in McCormick County. But after the Colonel had told him of the langers of catching the "flu" down in McCormick County, "so far away from home" he finally persuaded Enlow to help him out of ^ii/^ffi> caltiee.
