DIR. johnson always calls to see Mrs.
Cox when he comes to Wytheville,
and he has no warmer friend or ad-
mirer than she is--a feeling which
he obviously reclprocatss.
She has no enemies only friends.
There IS not'a soul IN the town who
would not fight for her IL necessa, y.
She does not borrow trouble, but
takes life happily. Even at her ad-
vanced age, when sickness falls upon
one OF her scquaintances, she is
among the first TO offer her services
to elevate the suffering. Her life
has been peaceful, and in quiet
unostentatious way she has lived
and loved all that that was Beautiful
and true, and in her declining years
she has the love and esteem of the
people among whom che has SO long
resided.
