j = Rp pomigt ss MeN GE gon VOLUME 28. NO. 6 FLU APPEARS TO BE ON DECLINE GRANGEVILLE HAS BEEN HIT EXCEPTIONALLY HARD. Influenza, the most dangerous and treacherous disease, that has taken the country as a whole in many years appears to be on a decline in Cottonwood and vici- nity at the present time. While Cottonwood is far from being free from the malady most of the cases here have been in a mild form with the exception of perhaps some four or five cases. At the present time in Cotton- wood, T. C. Keith, manager of the Cottonwood Mercantile Co., is the only one effected with the disease who is in a critical con- dition. Mr. Keith has been hovering between life and death for the past four days and it is hoped that he may be able to withstand the attack of the disease. Mrs. Keith, who has been taking care of her husband is also ill with the flu, but in no critical condition. 12 In One Family The Keuterville section, has not been as fortunate as the Cot- tonwood section and while there has been but one death there. Mrs. Charles Mader, there are several homes where the entire family are bedfast with the dis- ease. The Foresman family has 12 members of its family in bed and the Mader family some 8 01 9.

Deep Cut by Uncle Sam At the revenue collector’s of- fice it was learned that the mys- terious millionaire has lost al- most half his year’s income through a painful operation per- formed by Uncle Sam.
