TWICE A WEEL, $U0 A TEAR ' * ' THE C030TUNITY IN THE GRIP OF THE SPANISH INFLUENZA. f The board of health at a meeting on Saturday night ordred the churches closed and the pool rooms and the picture shows. It -was scarcely neces& sary to promulgate an official order becans* Nearly all business is tempoTvirfiv oncnA'ndPd on account of the prevailing disease. We have heard of only a few serious cases and if the rules are observed not to congregate and to keep in the cpen air and to take your bed as soon as the disease overtakes you it is not so serious a matter. The only trouble the doctors say is the complications which follow the disease. The thing is to do now is to live to lb yourself alone as far as it is possible w'nJe the disease is rampant in the land. / Let every one do his part cheerfully and follow dircticns and it will all soon be over. Cs'o need to get alarmed. Health Officer Player reported on Monday that he had placed quarantine on about 700 homes in the city. ^ .The telegraph operator is laid up and no telegrams were received at dewberry Monday. / NOTICE!

E. H. AULL, EDITOB. Tuesday, October 1, 1918. Influenza or no influenza the fourth Liberty Loan drive must go on. The boys need this money with which to fight and there is no' let up in the fighting. The other loans were to make ready. This might be termed the fighting loan. Those of us who are well must keep the ball rolling and help to end the war. We give up our editorial page today to the cause. It's the thing now. KI>D WOEftS FROM A FRIEND. A young lady friend of ours, who ^ one time taught our boy who is over seas now, in writing a letter to the editor remitting for her paper writes a personal word which we appreciate and which we are taking the liberty of copying without giving names. It does make a difference with our view point when we have some of our very own over-*here. However loyal and patriotic we may be the fact that w? have some of our own over there give1 the war a personal touch which nothing else can give. This young lady writes: "I can not write even this business note without a personal word to yo: about Humbert. I read with mu^M interest his letter in your paper, als> other references to him in his friend'.-, letter. I know you are proud of bin ?proud that he is neither afraid no* unwilling to do his duty. Humbert \ 9ne or my Doys. it is nara to reau?? that the little fellow that I taugl t only a f^w years ago is really a youc r officer in France.

' uec us an join in t."e mue uiar uis may all ccme back to us very sorr-1 well and healthy, and the one way w> cnn help, to bring about that ha?~ r event is to our part over here wjl ingly and ^ <md make a few sacr fices which in comparison are very small. > ^ <?> <? At Egrhty-One. * Dear mef I'm eighty-one today! I'm much inclined to sighs and tear?. What shall I do, or think, or say. Beneath the weight of all the { years? The strength and spring of life ha- * flown, The friends of former years a--* lost; And I am sitting her alone. When helping hands are need-1 most. From happiness far, far remote, Borne -on time's never restin r wave. And all adrift, I seem to float To ray last haven in the grave. Oh. would the powers to me reator'> The strength and fire that on \ were mine, That I might draw my sword on^-.i more, And once more join the charg^v line! Or could I in the forum stand, And strive for right!?If but a d ?y Of service to my native land \?
