There have been very few social
events to chronicle during the past
two weeks, owing to sickness in the
city. There is scarcely home that
has escaped the epidemic of cold and
lagrippe and in some cases the trouble
has been very serious. Doctors have
been kept busy night and day and all
available nurses have been on con-
slant duty and many more needed
The epidemic is now subsiding some
what and it is hoped that it will
soon be wiped out. From the papers
it is cleaned that this contagion of
grip has spread all through the coun-
try and many cities are suffering from
it. In some places the schools have
been closed on this account.
