Murphy Scout, Buncombe county celebrated the completion of the concrete road from ' Biltmore to a point near the Hender son county line last Saturday, when the last bucket of concrete was pour ed. One of the celebrators said that 40 years ago he traveled the same road when it was a plank road, which was then recognized as a great feat in road buliding. The present road is said to be one of the finest concrete roads in the United States. It cost about $20,000 a mile. When the un finished link of about one and one- half miles is completed and brings the concrete up to the county line, the government will come to Buncombe's aid in the cost of building.

The' Asheville-Hendersonville Interur- ban company proposes to operate its cars between Asheville and Hender- sonville all winter except when the roads will not permit. Although the traffic is not as heavy as it was in the summer, it is very good and is encouraging to the management. The telephone exchange has doubtless suffered a greater handicap by reason of the influenza than any other insti tution with so large a force. On Sat urday and Monday conditions were very bad for 'the company.

There is an endemic of flu in the Thickety neighborhood three or four miles from Clyde, where there has been about 65 cases in 13 families. We thought a week ago that the flu had flued from the town of Clyde and Clyde township. Services were held in the churches and the two schools had gotten down to business again but a few days ago it returned to do more mischief and took for its victims Prof, and Mrs. R. H. Lambright, Miss Vera Lambright and Miss Modena Fugler four members of Haywood Institute faculty. Mr. Zimri Morrow, a student, also has it. The school was running nicely and good work was being done but it was forced to close again and will not reopen until after Christmas when a much larger attendance is expected. The state High School is running, though the attendance is reduced more than 25 per cent We were about to forget to state that there are three or four other flu cases besides tha four teachers mentioned. Rev., J. M. Haynes, supply pastor of Pleasant Hill Baptist church, preached a good sermon last Sunday morning from the following text: For asmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart." After the sermon this scribe was greatly pleased to have the pastor go home with him for dinner, Mr. Haynes stijl preaches with energy and enthusiasm though in his 70th year. He has been for several years and is now city tax collector and al ways collects the taxes without of fending anyone. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mooney were ; attacked by a vicious dog near Clyde last Thursday and in attempting to give the dog a violent blow with a stove leg, Mr. Mooney accidentally struck his' wife across the nose result . ing in a fractured bone and profuse e) hemorrhage.

S. he did not 'preach on account of the funeral in town, But will preach next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Let everyone come out to the service. We are very sorry to hear that the influenza is increasing in different parts of the county. Some schools have stopped again, but we hope that ours will not have to close any more. The teacher do not know what course to take while their schools are closed. They are out of employment and very likely their plans broken up, Whose fault is it? Not the parents of the children, not the trustees of the school and not the teacher's. The teacher may think that they ought to be paid for back time. Teacher, did you work for this money ? Is it right to take money that you have not worked for? If the teacher will just look at it right they will see that it is for their protection as well as the children and the community. Do they want to be paid for being protected from disease themselves? I say that this disease is the cause of our schools being stopped and I don't think it is giving the children justice" to take their money and not give them anything in return. We cannot understand why this dis ease is among us, but it is God's hand that permitted it for some good purpose. As news is scarce I will ring off. GRAY EYES. try's call, one who would lay down his life without a flinch for fhu re cause. We can't realize yet how greatly dear MeJvin will bo missed until the other boys get back home and then we will miss his smiling face among them. Upon the honor roll of Time, His name emblazoned lies; While o'er his grave somewhere , in Frane, . A starry banner flies. He was a soldier of the best; . His life, he proudly gave, That from the Beajst of selfishness, His country he might save. Today the flowr of Peace has sent Its fragrance o'er the world; And from the flaming battlement The smoke has ceased to curl. So keep him, whom we shall not see, Til earthly cares shall cease; And give him crowns of victory, Who died to give us peace. The deceased at the time of his death was 25 years and 5 months old, and is survived by a father, two sis ters and three brothers, the latter be ing in France with the .118th Am. Co. I wish to extend my heartfelt sym pathy and regards to the bereaved parents and wish that I might do something or say something to cheer them. A FRIEND.

I had headaches and was dizzy at times and Mack specks came before my eyes. Mornings I was lame and sore and my back was stiff.
