FAMILIES DOWN WITH INFLUENZA

George Crockett and family of southeast of town have all been down with influenza, also their neighbors, Cary Lowman’s family. Owing to tire conditio® of his wife, George’s father, T. A. Crockett, has been unable to go out and assist them. While Mrs. Crockett is up and fnanages to get about the house a little by supporting herself with chairs or other articles of furniture, she is almost helpless otherwise as a result of the stroke of paralysis suffered some time ago. Word from George’s family yesterday morning was to the effect that all were holding their own except the 9-year-old son, Tommy, who was not so well.
