The report that George Gratner, at Camp Taylor, had died of influenza, is not true, we are glad to learn, but on the contrary is improving. Another son of W. H. Gratner, of Barkley township, who was visiting in Illinois, was taken very ill there with the same disease, and this probably is responsible for the report that George had died. He was also reported better yesterday. A George Stover of Union township is at least one Jasper county farmer who made some good money out of a patch of buckwheat this year. He had 24 acres of corn that was completely killed by the late June frost and he sowed the ground to buckwheat.

Rumor to the effect that John E. O’Donnell of son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh O’Donnell, had died in camp was current over the entire county last week and was published in practically every part of the county. O’Donnell had been critically ill and his father had been summoned to Camp Taylor, where he is stationed. His condition, however, improved, and bis father returned to his home last week. How the report originated is not known. —Monticello .Herald. Up to Tuesday tnere had been 292,770 influenza cases in the army camps in .this country, with 15,497 deaths. This fearful fatality list may be best realized by comparing it to the war casualty list. Since the United States entered the war more than a year and a half ago the total overseas casualties has been only about the same, including killed in action, wounded, taken prisoner, missing and .died of disease, and we now have more than 2,000,000 soldiers over there, too.
