"EvERYsOpYS SICK"
Long Roll Of Those III with Grip and
Other Troubles.

A fine open winter is about the worst
thing possible for the Randolph constitu-
toin to endure, judging by the appalling
amount of sickness there is at present.
Grip, bronchitis and pneumonia are
abroad in the land and call at every house
as impartially as a trio of book agents,
while they prove about equally hard to
get rid OF.
Granville w. Barnes, stricken with
bronchial pneumonia, has been critically
ill, but for day or two his symptoms
have been very encouraging.
Fred Rope, whom pneumonia brought
to very low point, is likewise improy-
ing. His sister, Mrs. Charles Jerd OF
Montpelier, is helping to care for him,
and Mr.. Jerd was also here Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. A. Tewksbury and
daughter, Fora, all have bronchial grip
and are under the care OF a trained nurse
from Burlington. A third member of
the household, Mrs. j. w. Raymond. is
being treated at the sanatorium for the
same ailment.
Mrs. A. B. Tewksbury has bronchial
pneumonia and last night was thought
to have reached the danger point. but
this morning her condition is much more
encouraging. Mr.. Tewksbury, too, is
far from we'll.
w. f. Edison has developed typhoid
fever and, in his rundown condition,
much anxiety is felt for him. He was
a little more comfortable yesterday and
seems about the same this morning.
Irene, the little daughter of DIR. c. J.
Rumrill, was taken suddenly with bron-
cbial pneumonia Monday night and grew
worse so rapidly that yesterday the doc
tor was unable to leave her to attend to
his practice. This morning she appears
to be no better.
Mrs. Eliza Stoughton, who lives with
her daughter, Mrs. Leslie Rumriil, has a
severe case Of bronchial pneumonia.
Mrs. f. A. Joslyn has been i'll three
weeks with a throat trouble in the nature
of laryngitis.
Mrs. J. II. Mouiton is suffering from
the gathering of sores in her head as an
after-effect of the grip.
Mrs. b. T. Lombard has had a touch OF
pneumonia at n. w. McCollom's, but is
now better.
Henry C. Soper is having a rather hard
attack of bronchitis.
Mrs. A. n. Culver has had a relapse OF
the grip and is confined to the bed again.
Mr.. Culver is another victim Of the dis
temper, but manages to keep about.
Joseph W. Atwood has recovered from
the epidemic, with which Mrs. Atwood
is at present prostrated.
Mrs. John r. Angel is housed by
grip and bronchitis and her husbands
father, Eber Angel, who makes his
home with them, is afflicted with bron-
chitis.
Mrs. +. A. Hobart is also numbered
with the grippy ones but has reached the
convalesceDt stage.

Greene's, has return OF the grip, and
his mother, Mrs. George Hall OF Brook
field, has come to care for him.
Eli, the younger son of William St.
Lawrence, has scarlet fever, contracted,
it is supposed, from some contagious
germ in the clothing of the baby's
father, who drove the livery team that
carried the late Miss Lima Battles home
the day she arrived from Springfield,
Mass, sick with the disease. The chance
of contagion from that source seems
on the back seat of the sleigh, while Mr..
st. Lawrence was alone on the seat in
front, but no other possible exposure is
known.
Ethan, the youngest son of DIR. G. w.
Scott, has had a struggle with the grip
microbe that he has finally worsted.

sister, Miss Nettie Flint of Braintree.

from sores in the head.

Clarence Sault and Miss Harriet
Packard have been out of the Herald
Office this week, i'll with grip, aggravated
in the case of the former by touch of
appendicitis. Miss Packard's mother
and grandmother have also shared in the
general complaint.
Mrs. Henry NJ. Miller has fallen a vic
tim to the epidemic, and her second
daughter, Lima, who was seized with
appendicitis in waitsield, had so danger
GUS symptoms Sunday that Miss Helen
Miller was summoned from Hadley,
Mass. She came back from Waitsfield

the trained nurse, Miss Sadie Kent.

of the High school building. In the
first primary, barely half the pupils have
been present some days.
