essential to the business of the community. A number of gentlemen including
Messrs. J.M. Williams, W.R. Brooks, Will Taylor and H.E. Barlow have been

We are pleased to report better conditions in the knitting
mill district as reported by Messrs. W.R. Ricks and Robert J. Walker. On
Thursday two weeks ago the entire crew of the Wilson Knitting Mills had the
influenza and 30 have returned to work out of 80 employees. A house to house
canvass was made and it has been found that 30 more will be in by Monday. Only
10 were in bed and 10 were waiting on others.
For Your Convenience
Since stores must close at 12 o’clock it increases the
crowds in the morning and customers can hardly get waited on. In order to
relieve this we will take telephone orders tonight from 7:30 to 9 o’clock and
deliver early tomorrow morning. We have nice tender turnip salad and other
vegetables and nice meats and Norfolk oysters.
