Grip and its complications has been responsible for most of the sickness and probably a greater share of the deaths. nearly every one has now had this disease or distemper, or whatever it is, it is probable that this month will be a much healthier one, at least it is to be hoped that it will be SHY ON GASOLINE. \C. G. Spitler came down from Chicago Friday night with his new Mitchell automobile. He was accompanied by a driver from the house, and everything moved along swimingly until about the time they reached Virgie, when their gasoline supply ran out and none could be had short of Rensselaer.
