Lots of Grip and Other Sickness In Town and Country.

The doctors are busy and B. F. Fendig, the druggist, said this morning that he believes there was more sickness in the town and country at this time than he had ever known in the history of the community. Doctors areon the go night and day. Grip or a disease that closely resembles it is in many homes. It differs from the old-fashioned grip in that it usually does not last so long and frequently breaks after 48 hours.
