Mrs. Mabel Snoke, the wife of Dr. Snoke, of Cumming, and the daughter of Mr. Nelson Howell, of Crawford township, died last Monday, of the grip, the same disease which caused the death of her mother only a few days since. These repeated afflictions are sufficient to call forth the commiseration of every sympathetic heart, but in addition thereto Mr. Howell himself, his son and another daughter were at last account seriously sick with the same disease.

Mrs. Snoke had been married only about six months, and is supposed to have contracted the illness while attending upon her mother.
