LEADWOOD

The regular meeting Of the Mason
ic Lodge was held Saturday night.
The lodges have been seriously hand
icapped 1t tier work this fall because
of the influenza ban.
The Red Cross women met at Buels
hall Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings to complete some unfinished
work before the Decembet report was
sent in to headquarters. Quite lew
sweaters and other garments are be-
ing made and will be sent in soon.
lockwood is almost entirely free
from influenza at last. There are on
ly a few cases and these are all in
light form. Mitchell has only enc
case left but this is rather serious
one. Cherryville is also in much bet
ter shape than it was few weeks
ago.
The morning train reaches Lead
wood now at II a. M, instead of ll:2J
as it used to. This is step in the
right direction as our mail reaches us
late enough anyway. The time table
for the evening trains has not been
changed.
II Miss Grace Wilson'S mother was on
the sick list the latter part of last
week but is up again now. Miss
Grace did not have the influenza, as
was reported.
A. N. Sheriff. made business trip
to Leadwood Tuesday morning.
A Christmas treat will be given to
the children of the Church of God
Sunday school Christmas day.
The lockwood High School band
gave a splendid concert on the street
in front of the Company store Monday
afternoon. The concert was given as
a part of the program in the big Red
Cross Drive that was started Monday.
The Leadwood band is now capable OF
doing splendid work as was demon
strated here Monday. The band has
meant great deal to our town in all
of our war activities and we are great.

for having trained our Leadwood boys
for this service. The next thing in
order now will be good band stand
where regular concerts can be given at
stated times Through the summer
months. The Leadwood band has
come to stay and let us show our APP
probation by giving proper recogni-
ton to this work.
DR.. j. d. Morris, Dentist, who for
merly had an office here at LeadWood,
did not locate in California as he ex-
pected to do when he left here some
months ago. He is now in st. Louis
and has written some of his friends
here that he will probably spend the
holidays here. 1t is not so easy after
all for any one who has stopped IN
Leadwood long enough TO get drink
of water, to leave here and forget all
about the wonders of this great town.
We should not be surprised that the
great State of California has no such
places as Leadwood, for it must be
remembered that "Joe" Evans was
willing to leave Washington county IN
order to live here.
