Since my last writing grippe has
hadfull sway among US all. Mrs.
Gedrgia McKie's children have it.
Allat Messrs. Herbert and Harry
BntIche's homes have been real sick
with it, for two weeks.
Grippe and rheumatism are surely
frstgcousins, they treat body so
meae and never know when to turn
loose. In fact rheumatism comes to
be sa life time trouble if it once
takes you. Mrs. Sallie Bunch has
been very sick but is little better
just now.
nsour last we spoke of Mr.. Ash
ley eathersby having been sent to
the University hospital with
hemorrhagic fever. He died there
November 10. He leaves wife and
fourpoor little children to mourn
him slso one brother and sister.
That poor woman certainly needs
helpto take care of those little ones.
There is a place for our mission

society meeting in so long don't
know what they are doing but
heard chat they were going to give
MRS.. J. Corley shower to help
her some since her misfortune to

good attendance and all carried
something nice and useful for her:
Aesrtain young lady has return
ed home from Kentucky Ken
.uckYbelle" and is not going back,
which makes us suspicious. She
mustIhave decided not to teach the
ideahow to grow wiser. We sur
mise itlmust he that somebody needs
a hoHsekeeper and she has accepted
that position. No one has told US
so bdtsWe are suspicious.

The chain gang has slipped over
this end of the Martintown road and
thrown a few spoonsful of dirt in
some holes and having no white
overseer with them they did not
half do the work. Some man. (white
man they said he was) hired few
negroes and did some of the same
kind of work down in Aiken county
on this same poor old road and did
not come all the way up to the
Edgefeld line either just killing
time and drawing money to throw
away with that kind Of work.
