Mr. James Armstrong, a well known and highly respected citizen of this county, was taken suddenly ill last Saturday night with sporatic cholera, and died at the home of Fred Frost on Tuesday evening of this week. He was in town Saturday and seemed to be enjoying his usual good health. Dr. Burns, the attending physician, says this specie of cholera is not contagious.
