the poor people of this section OF
country lost a mighty good friend.
d.. Cole was a practicing ply
sician and was always ready to
go and minister to the sick,
whether they had money or not.
He rarely made a charge OF more
than enough to cover cost OF the
medicine, and in a great many
cases did not even do that. The
poor people of this community
are going to miss DR.. Cole.
DIR. Cole was a soldier in the
civil war, and received great
many wounds which incapacitat-
ed him from manual labor, so he
made a living practicing his pro-
fession.
He left a widow and several
children.
Interment was made yesterday.
