--Cruel death has entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cox. About two weeks ago two of the children came down with that dread disease diphtheria. Dora, the youngest, fell an easy victim, and passed away Saturday morning about 3 o'clock. The funeral services were held Saturday afternoon. Dora was seven years of age, a bright, promising little girl. Her bright happy face will be missed in the school room as well as in her home. Mr. and Mrs. Cox have the sympathy of the community. May the cruel hand of death spare them further bereavement.
