HARDY'S HAPPENINGS.
Two Prominent Citizens Ill.
Epidemic of Grip. Good Con-
gregation at Sweetwater :.
Last Sunday.

We deeply regret the critical Ill
ness of old Mr.. John Mathews over
near Sweetwater. We had not heard
word Of it until Sunday, or of DR..
Hugh Shaw's illness. We were
glad TO hear he is better and able
to be out again. Hope he is on the
road to recovery now.
There is little hope entertained
for Mr.. Mathews we are sorry to
hear. He has lived a long useful
life in this neighborhood, always
true gentleman and friend. Salts
fed with all his surroundings and
possessions. A faithful follower of
the teaching of the Bible, according
to his understanding of it. There
was never one more faithful to at
tend to the cemetary out there, and
was always ready and willing to
superintend the grave digging for
all taken there. His place cannot
be easily filled, if ever. He is
nearing, or reached his s5th year
and has been feeble for some time.
LaGrippe seems to be an epidem-
ic, we hear of so many having it.
MIR. and Mrs. J. w. Munday,' Mr..
H. F. Cooper, Mr.. w. H. Briggs
family, Mr.. Harry Bunch and fami-
ly, Mrs. S. V. Bunch and house
hold and several others. Grippe is
bad enough in winter, but worse |
believe in summer. Three weeks
of constant grippe-headache units
body for every thing.
We heard of Miss Theresa Bunch
anticipating attending the COM
mencement at Limestone. Am sure
she will enjoy it immensely.
Mrs. Ollie Bunch has handsome
new Buick which they are all en-
joyipg. Her mother. Mrs. Nixon
is on visit to her. We were glad
Ito see Mrs. Nixon looking so well
and Mrs. Theresa Adams also, is
I Hooking we'll. ''S
There was quite good congre,

afternoon to hear Rev. Mr.. Jones

| heard Miss Matte Shaw speak
Of attending the Sunday School
Convention, which was held in Au-
gusta, May s and 9, being so per-
fect]y splendid, and how much she
enjoyed the singing by Charlie Till
man the great singer. / heard him
many years ago, and would have
loved to have heard him again.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. F. Cooper and
children visited their eldest daughter
Miss Chrystine, who is attending
school at Ninety-Six and left their
second daughter, Estelle, to be with
her sister until school closes.
Miss Ferguson of Tennessee, who
taught at Antioch, closed her school
last week and came by Curryton to
visit her friend, Mrs. Fred Barker.
She left Sunday night en- route for
her home.
Miss Lena DeLaugbter who will
graduate in North Augusta in June,
has been elecred to teach the Gene
tary Hill school next session. Quite
compliment to Miss Lena. Miss
Sallie DeLaughter will graduate at
Winthrop this June also.
The school girls and boys will
soon be coming home now. A great
many of the girls will be filing
places left vacant By the Young men
who have been drafted. And there,
will be many young man just out
of school that will enlist, or be
drafted before time for the schools

Jr., has son, Mr.. Judd Scott, who
has enlisted and is, in R. l., in
training in the navy. The same
place Mr.. P. B. Lanham's son Mr..
