Spanish Flu Abated

The epidemic of Spanish influenza,
which has been raging in this city and
vicinity for the past three weeks, has
abated very materially, according to
the physicians. There are but few
new cases developing and most Of
these are in households where some
other member of the family has been
down with it.
There are still few patients who
are in very precarious condition
but, on the whole, conditions are very
favorable 1t is thought the epidemic
will be virtually wiped out, here, by
the last of the week.

Charles w. spires

Charles w. Spires was born in
Taylor township, April 15, 1865 and
died at his home in Missouri Valley,
October IS, 1918, aged Sc years.
The Angel Of death whose sable
wings have lowered over our COM
munity and darkened SO many homes
during the past week, visited us again
Tuesday noon and carried to his
Heavenly Home, the spirit Of Chas.
w. Spires. ss1
To the bereft wife and SONS, so
deeply saddened by the bereavement,
the words Of Him who said, .What
I do, Ye know not now, but Ye shall
know hereafter" must come with
comforting influence. It lis difficult
| to understand how human frailty
could bear up under such sorrows, If
it were not for the kindly sympathetic
friends to remind US Of Him and his
promises. Death is not always so grim
unkind and merciless. It comes with
q beauty and dignity to the aged
man or womap, full Of years, like the
ripened sheaf at harvest. But when it
enters the home and takes the father,
the main support Of the wife and chill
dren, the hearts Of friends and stran-
gers alike, are touched with sorrow.
Charles w. Spires was the eldest
son Of Thomas and Grata Spires, and
was born on the old farm in Taylor
township. At the age Of one year, he
moved with his parents to Michigan
where he made his homo until 1879,

Picking Pins From Throat,

The swfftness and ease with which
doctor can remove bone, pin OF
other object from the windpipe, esoph.

This is when he uses one Of the tubes
that enable him to look right down
into the organ, see the foreign object
illuminated by an electric lamp and In.
sert delicate forceps with which to
seize 1t and draw it out. Without thu
use Of IN endosccpe there Is much dan
ger of injuring the tissues BY blind
feeling for the offending object.

Fort Terry at Jewett City.

Manager Walsh of the Fort Terry team in a letter to Manager Carpen- ter of the Ashland Club, Wednesday, stated that the Fort Terry team was going like house af1re, having won 3 more games during the past week, beating the Marines at the Sub Base, 10 to 1, Fort Wright, 12 to 4. and the Experimental Station team of the Navy 3 to 2. He also stated that he was glad of the opportunity of playing the Ashland club, because by it's record of victories this year, so far. shows that 1t is the fastest team in Eastern Con- necticut and that by beating Ashland his team will prove that it is faster than any team that Eastern Connecti- cut can produce.
 Manager Carpenter retaliates with the assertion that this confidence stufr' is all right in it's place, if not taken too far, and states that he and every player on the Ashland team are just as confident that Fort Terry will find itself up against a rock and have to pull it's pride down couple of pegs before they leave Jewett City.
 Sam Rice will pitch for the Fort Terry team and although the team is composed almost entirely of leaguers he is the shining light of the team. For Ashland, Van Dyke will pitch and Chase will catch. This game pro- mises to be the fastest of the season, and Van Dyke will have to do some tall pitching to keep the hit column low but he has proven his reliability and will sure be there when he is needed.
 Brennan, whose hard hitting and sensational fielding have been the fea- lures of every game on Ashland Park this season is considering an offer to enter professional ball with one of the Eastern League Clubs. Bills throw ing arm has not been up to it's stand ard owing to an automobile accident and he is doubtful about his chances of making good just at present be- cause the fragments in his shoulder are not properly healed and at times give him considerable trouble.
