We feel this beautiful Monday morning of January 22, the worst of our flu experience is over. Thanks to the Great Physician, the sick are making a successful recovery so far.
Misses Pearl and Essie Edwards and Bessie Hamilton, victims of the flu, have recovered and returned to their school work at Melvin Hill and Greens Creek. What is the matter with all our correspondence? The paper seems much more interesting when all are on duty.
Mr. Sams, let us have your grass talks in the News, and be not discouraged, the people are waking up more and more to the Creator’s command, “Let the dry ground bring forth grass.” Those who are not the boll weevils are chasing them to their awakening.
Mr. J.W. Jack has recently sown a good-sized new ground in grass.
Mr. John Carpenter, we hear, has recently taken the grass fever, and furthermore, that Hamilton “grass crank” is still trying to have grass everywhere. Mr. Lewis Jackson and daughter, Evelyn, were pleasant callers on the route.
Mr. Arthur Ruppe, after spending a fortnight in Charlotte, returned the other day.
It is time “day by day, in every way, the ‘movies’ are getting better.” If not, we hope Mr. Hayes will bring this to a reality. Some of our boys have taken such a craze for them, they will work hard all day, (and then) go 10 miles on Saturday night to see them, despite the weather.
