The Washington Republican Washington County Friday April 5, 1901 Divide. Mrs. Isabelle FULKERSON is still in very feeble health. E.W. GRINDLE and son Will made a business trip to Greenleaf Saturday. Mrs. Mabel FAIRBANKS planted her garden Wednesday afternoon March 27. The small-pox scare has entirely subsided. Mud is conducive to health anyhow. Mr. and Mrs. Frank FISK and daughter of Famington township, passed over the Divide Monday and visited relatives near Linn. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob CODER went down to Barnes last Monday to see their little grandchild who was very sick. We learn that the child is no better at this writing. We would think winter would get tired holding spring in her lap so long all covered up with snow. The farmers all over the Divide were "April fooled" today by this snow. Mrs. Cora PARKER nee IDLET, is making her many friends in Washington county an extended visit. She spent a few days on Ash Creek last week with J.S. LEUSZLER's family. W.D. VINCENT who is attending the State University came up from Lawrence Thursday and came out immediately to see if the Ash Creek school was getting along all right.
