A meeting was arranged here last j Monday at 2 o'clock in the interest of good roads.

( ' i Most of the davs of last week were , % i vei y dull in Conway as compared tv> ( the times before the last outbreak of influenza came about. People in some sections seemed to be unduly | afraid of contracting- the disease by , coming into the town. Some who ( were on their way hero It is said , heard about there being a number of j cases of the disease here and turned back to their homes. While we believe in being careful, this is carrying the matter farther than common sense shows there is any use in. There is just as much danger in the country now as there is in tlie towns. Persons coming to Oomwiy can avoid a crowd ar.d bo as j safe as anywhere in the world so far as influenza is concerned. ? o ? DEA TH OF H. I\ SESSIONS. H. 1\ Sessions, a farmer living, on Conway R.
