Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Remster, living on
the Yorktown road, were surprised by a
company of friends on Wednesday who
had came to help celebrate the tenth ami
versary of their marriage. \ pleasant
time was enjoyed, and several presents left

A large number of children in the pub
lie schools are effected with the grippe.

Those who entertained the opinion that
la grippe was in many eases-perhaps all
result of imagination, have, we pre-
sumo, by this time, been led to think diff
ferently, at least those who have been
overtaken by the plague themselves. 1t

that of people generally, to lead any one
to believe that chill-fever that brings the
temperature up to one hundred and over,
pains in the limbs that can be compared
only to those attending ''dengue" or
''break- bone" fever of the West and South,
and a hacking cough, with an alarming
tendency toward pneumonia, are not real.
