Mayor W.D. Lackey, who has been confined to his bed at the Shelby public hospital since the first week in January, is steadily improving. For weeks he has been flat on his back unable to move his body or limbs, except his hands, but his condition is much better and he is now allowed to sit up a short while each day. This week he will be able to ride on the porch in a rolling chair. His many friends hope that he will soon regain his strength and be able to get out again.
