the aged parent was heart rending.
In her aged and feeble condition her
two single daughters were with her
day and night, administering to her
every want with tender hands and
bleeding hearts.
The deceased had been a member of
the Christian Church for many years,
and before she became infirm she was

The Flu Situation.

The flu situation about Columbia is
not alarming at this time There
were some six or eight cases in the
suburbs of town, but all who were at
tackled are considerably better, and
the indications point to early recov-
cry. There has not been any cases in
the main part of Columbia, and the
Board of Health is watching the sit

If no new cases develop in the vi
cinity of town the ban will likely be
raised in the course of few days.
