court clerk and all round exemplary
citizen, suffered an injury to his right
hand as the result of a fall from his
buggy few days ago. The hurt is
painful, though not at all serious. An
unruly horse was the cause of the trou-
BILE.
]. A. Lay brought to this office
Thursday what he called a Scandina-
Wan butter bean. 1t is about fifteen
inches long and resembled a gourd
more than anything else, though per-
fectly straight and smoothe. He says

eggplant. Mr.. Lay saw the adver-

Haywood county is having her
scourge of Spanish influenza. 1t has
swept over the entire county and for
tunate indeed is that family which has
escaped its grasp. Very few deaths
have occurred, though many cases of
pneumonia have followed in its wake.

proved. 1t is hoped that another week
will find the trouble almost abated.

better proof needed of the profits to
be derived from raising hogs in Hay
wood county.

attacks of Spanish influenza followed
by pneumonia. Both were fast forg-

on the communities in which they lived
Their former teacher together with
their old school-mates here, join with
