While the disease is spreading and it seems will pervade the
entire community before it has run its course, the situation has improved in
that the cases do not seem to be so virulent and the deaths are not as many as
a few days ago. In the city during last night there were only two deaths, one
white and one colored.
Mrs. F.E. Stancil who resides on Railroad street passed away
at 2 o’clock this morning and a negro woman named Gertrude Gordon also has
died.
In the country the disease is spreading and few houses are
without a case. Jessie Carter who lives on the Young place, is dead, and little
Annie Ophelia Driver of near sun is also done with the disease.
The Condition of the
Sick
Mrs. Barrett is better. Mr. H.J. Grantham is better today.
Dr. Dickinson is better. Dr. Best is better. Dr. Wade Anderson is better and is
out at work. Dr. Carl Moore of Saratoga was brought to the local hospital today
with pneumonia.
Mrs. T.T. Winstead of Washington, D.C., is here at the
bedside of her little three-year-old daughter, who is down with influenza and
very sick at the home of her grandmother, Mrs. C.D. Smiley on Crowell street.
The father of the child is Mr. T.T. Winstead who is now in France serving his
country. The mother has a government position in Washington. The name of her
daughter is Martha Etta. We hope for her recovery.
Mrs. E.G. Rawlings who was just back from Washington City
left this morning for Duke, N.C., where her daughter, Mrs. W.A. White is quite
ill with influenza.
