Influenza Has Passed, Shulls Mills Looking for New Workers; Household Sale in Boone, 1919

Notices from the Watauga Democrat in Boone, N.C., January 2, 1919

NOTICE
The Influenza at Shulls Mills is now over, but evidently all of the old employees of the Boone Fork Lumber Company do not know it. We hope each and every one of them will return to work immediately and get their own places.

We are paying top prices for all parts of the operation.

We would also be glad to have all the new men we can get. We are not only paying high wages, but we have just made a new rule, by which a man can get his money any time he wants to go home. Therefore, if you can come for a week or two weeks or a month, come ahead and when you want to go home you can get your money.

PUBLIC SALE
On the 6th day of January, 1919, weather permitting, I will offer for sale a portion of my household and kitchen furniture to the highest bidder, with some feed, two stacks rye unthreshed, and some good stock. All amts. Under five dollars cash down, all above that amount on three months time with note and approved security, notes bearing interest from day of sale at the rate of 6 percent.
