For a week past there have been
hut one or two cases reported daily,

families where others had been SICK
with the flu, and when those VINO
are sick now recover, it is thought
all danger will be over. There we're
almost a thousand cases reported to
Mayor Gardner during, the epidemic.
but the percentage of deaths was
only | per cent, which is very low
when compared with the death rate
in other cities. At Osceola, fl1teen
deaths were reported out OF 32z
cases. =.
The attendance at the public
schools Monday was about so per
cent of the enrolment, and has
been increasing daily. 1t has been
long and hard pull, and everybody
is mighty glad the danger is over
and especially now that the Christ
mas shopping has commenced. You
need have no fears of coming to
Leon to do YOUR shopping on account
of the flu
