village, having been confined to her bed for more than a week. She, however, is
now improving.
Dr. J.W. Jones left Monday for Annapolis, Md., to visit his
brother, Mr. Thomas Jones, who is seriously ill with pneumonia following flu.
The home of Mr. N.C. Greene was invaded by the flu last week,
four members of the family being down at the same time. All are up again with
no very serious results.
Ex-Sheriff W.P. Moody has purchased of Mr. W.E. Shipley one
large Martin farm located between Blowing Rock and Shulls Mills, the
consideration being $15,500.
Rev. J.R. Walker informs The Democrat that the Boone

Mr. G.M. Sudderth, cashier of the Peoples Bank and Trust
Company, has sold his recently purchased home on the Green Heights to J. Pat.

increases Mr. Winkler’s bank accounts to the amount of $24,000.
Owing to flu conditions, the services of all kinds in the
different churches of the town have been declared off; and the Appalachian

malady well in hand.
