Influenza Has Subsided After
Taking Heavy Toil. Schools
Have Opened
Again.
We hear the "flu" has somewhat
subsided, we hope-it has been con
quered forever, for it is such a terri
ble thing. So many homes left deso
late and many broken up entirely.
So many orphans, so many wives left
without husband or children. Many
men left without wife" to help take
care cf hi:; children. Mother and sis
ter left with no one to take care of
them and make a support for them,
that is our case and it certainly is a
terrible thing. We miss him all the
time, more and more. But that does
not bring him back nor any one else
that can fill his place. We cannot
wish his sweet rest broken and have
him back in this world of trouble and
suffering; but we miss him so much
and don't know how to do without
him He was my playmate and chum
in all our childhood, and comfort
and support ever since before he
was grown. No one can take his
place.
We know how to sympathize with
those who have lost their loved ones.
Dr. Briggs' wife, mother, brothers
and sisters, each have our heartfelt
sympathy, And so has Mrs. Mattie
Mccutcheon, who lost her husband,
Mr. Greg McCutcheon at his home in
Bishopville, S. C., after a long illness
of typhoid fever. She and her bab/
had the "flu" while he was so ill,
they have come home with her father
Rev. P. B. Lanham.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bunch went
to eee them cn Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. H. W. McKie went
to Augusta Saturday, so suppose
they are all well of influenza.
Mrs. J. H. Harrison is quite sick,
though was resting quietly Sunday.
Miss Pearl McKie is critically ill,
hope to hear of her improvement
soon. She has been in bed the greater
part of the time since September.
Mrs. S. V. Bunch has been quite
sick also.
We are glad to hear Mr. Barker's
family is all up again.
Mrs. George Townes and two chil
dren returned to Aiken a week ago
Sunday, after a visit of two weeks
to her aunt, Mrs. Milton Barker.
We were glad to find Mrs. D. B.
Hammond and little girl about well
again.
Glad to say Master Francis Ham
mond is almost well after the "flu."
Mr. Mat Hightower has been sick,
we hope he is very much better now.
He failed to come back this past
week to finish some work for Mr.
Harry Bunch, but we hope he feeling
better.
The schools have opened again but
some of the children were too sick to
attend for several days.
Miss Sallie DeLaughter has not
been called back to her school yet on
account of the influenza which is
still raging in the neighborhood of
her school.

sented at the funeral by Lieut.

beautiful floral designs.
The beautiful tribute, uttered in
