Epidemic of Flu in
Southwest Alamance
We are having some spring-like weather, though people are
staying indoors very closely and trying to avoid all crowds and gatherings of
all kinds. There is quite an epidemic of flu near us, and our community is
doing all in their power to keep it out. Kimesville cotton mills have been
standing for several days, the disease being in nearly every family, but in a
mild form. Up to this time no deaths have been reported in the place.
Several farmers in our community contemplate building new
homes in the near future.
Mrs. Eliza Bowman died of paralysis at her home near
Kimesville and was buried at Mt. Pleasant on the 19th. She leaves a
husband, one daughter and several sons.
The Oakdale school has not opened yet; no time has been set
for the opening. Flu has greatly hindered the schools in some localities.
