FLU APPEARS TO
Be ON DECLINE
GRANGEVILLE HAS BEEN
HIT EXCEPTIONALLY
HARD.

Influenza, the most dangerous
and treacherous disease, that
has taken the country as whole
in many years appears to be on 4
decline in Cottonwood and vici-
nifty at the present time. While
Cottonwood is far from being
free from the malady most of
the cases here have been IN
mild form with the exception of
perhaps some four or five cases.
At the present time in Cotton
wood. T. c. Keith. manager of
the Cottonwood Mercantile Co.,
is the only one effected with the
disease who is in critical con-
dition. Mr.. Keith has been
lowering between life and death
for the past four days and it is
hoped that he may be able to
withstand the attack of the
disease. Mrs. Keith, who has
been taking care of her husband
is also i'll with the flu, but in no
critical condition.
