Little Cora Nichols died at Smith, vile, Ok. January 21, 1909. After suffering for three months the death angel came and took our precious one away to that great place where sick ness, sorrow. pain and death do not enter. She was 2 years, 5 months and 25 days old when death came. A father, mother, three sisters and three brothers regret her departure. A precious one from us is gone,
 A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in our home
 That never can be filled
 When life's struggle dream is o'er
 And we are numbered with the dead, Hope we will meet our dear baby

MANY WILL MISS HER
Miss Della Cox, After Brief Illness, Passes Beyond Funeral Ser
 vices Tuesday.

Sunday afternoon at 4:45 o'clock, Miss Della Cox, after a brief but very severe illness. passed to the great beyond.
 Miss Dell Cox was born in Deni- son, Tex. February 5, 1890, and came to Mena with her parents in the early days of Mena. She at tended the Mena schools, graduat- ing the past spring. She has al- ways been loved for her charming personality, and all who knew her were her friends and admirers, and these will, with her parents and relatives, sincerely mourn the early close of her earthly existence.
 The remains of Miss Della Cox were lad to rest in the 1. o. o. + l. cemetery Tuesday and were followed to their last resting place by probably the largest number of people who ever at tended funeral in Mena.
 A half hour before the time set for the funeral friends afoot and in vehicles began to gather at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Cox, parents of the deceased, and by l0:S0 the house, veranda and lawn was filled with those who desired to do honor to the fair young girl whose mortal remains were within the house. A great number brought flowers, of which there was profusion.
 After appropriate music had been rendered, eight young mer, all friends of the deceased. bore the casket to the hearse throug h an aisle formed by the houorar, pail bearers, the remaining mem bers of the high school class of '09, each holding an immense bouquet of blossoms. The choir girls of St. Agnes church, of which Dell was a member, were also in attendance in a body.
 When the funeral cortege moved toward the cemetery, it was seen that it was composed of almost every available vehicle in the city, and yet these would not carry nearly all those who were present.
 At the grave tue burial services were conducted by Father Galla- gher, during which he paid a beautiful tribute to the character and life of the deceased, urging that the example of her sweet young life be followed by the con course of friends. Following these exercises, those who desired were given an opportunity to take q last look at the fair face, before the casket was lowered into it's last resting place.

The proposition came to our people
with considerable dee rec of sudden

view that it might be better to dispose
Of the plant aud allow j, to revei, to

company, aud that the stock Of that
concern fell 90 per cent. below its face
value before the company finally dis
appeared. Then the plant passed into
several hands before il finally became
the property Of the city.
Other towns, which have suffered
long from private wv ncrship, are max
ing great sacrifices to get control Of a
feature that is 40 eminently one for
ownership.
There is a props0ition pending with
