OPELIKA
(Special Correspondence)
Opelika, Feb 19 - It seems that winter is here at last. We are in hopes that the cold has not killed the young gardens.

Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Malone visited in the Matthews home near Murchison.

Mrs. B. A. Cox who has been visiting in the home of her daughter, Mrs. T. E. Kent, the past week, returned to her home on Sunday.

Clifford Shaver of Pickens Spur spent the week-end in the home of his mother, Mrs. Pearl Shaver and other relatives.

Gordon Griffin and family visited Thursday in the home of his father, Lee Griffin, near Murchison.

Health in our community is not so good. Mr. O. W. Killingsworth has been real sick with the flu the past week but is better at this time.

The measles epidemic has about subsided; the only new cases now are the little boys of Mrs. Pearl Shaver and little Nina Faye Wiggins. I believe that everyone that had not had the measles in this community have had them this winter.

Since our last report death claimed Mr. J. M. Alvis. He was sick only a few days of measles and pneumonia. The family has our heartfelt sympathy.

In spite of the cold, unfavorable weather we had a very good attendance at Sunday School. We hope since spring is about here and health is improving Sunday School will soon be back to normal. Let’s each one do our best to make it so.

Next Saturday night, Sunday and Sunday night is Bro. Alred’s regular appointment. He will probably have some one with him to do some of the preaching. Let’s all attend these services and be benefited.
