NO INFLUENZA HERE.

Last Friday tho Charleston
'"azette reported - cases of inilu-
cnza in Lewisburg. This mistake,
no doubt, grew out of Il rnisapprc-
hcnslon of DIR. Parker's report to
the epidemico!ogist there. The
Doctor reported % cases in Green
bricr County. There is not q case
OF the disease here and it is by no
means epidemic in the county.
From all VIC can learn of the cases
In the Frankford community they
are probably nothing more than
colds or mild cases OF grip.
