1t is with feelings of sorrow we
announce the sudden death OF
MIR. Thomas II. Cox, of Salem.
By his strict integrity, business
qualifications and gentlemaGly
department, Mr.. Cox had estab-
lished an enviable reputation that
reached far beyond the city and
county in which he lived. He
was a Mason Of high standing and
by his brothers regarded as an
eminent and useful member of
that order. and organized the
Lodge IN this city. Called away
to higher and more exalted field

warning, we doubt If any man
was ever better prepared to meet
his Maker than was Thomas IL.
