We were shocked to read of the sud
den death of our friend. Austin Cop
pinger, of the Cove. We entertained
the hope that he would hasten on to a
speedy recovery, but we regretted with
profound sorrow to read the paragraph
in the News announcing his sudden
death. Mr.. Coppinger was the king
of Coppinger Cove, where he lived and
died and was we'll known far and near
as man with as big heart as he
was a man. We want to tender our
sympathy to his bereaved family and
the entire Coppinger generation.
wish some of my Tennessee River
friends who live near the river and
have fishing outfit and good yawl,
and who would like two old friends
like myself and another fellow, to
visit them about July Is and stop
about five days without any expense to
them. If this is favorable they can
make little note in next.week's News
from over there, and we may know by
that we wouldn't be trespassing on
your rights to give your community a
call Don't answer all at once.
We have 5mile belt across the
valley up here which is suffering very
badly for rain and all vegetation is
stunted very badly from the lack of
rain
We had splendid rain up tue valley
and down but it absolutely failed
through here. Crops will be short,
fear, if it does not rain soon.
Robt. Davis, one of Marion county's
best citizens, is now at the point of
death at his home at Sulphur Spring,
with a complication of diseases of
long standing, and is not expected to
live long. We regret to learn of his
dangerous condition Will say no bet
ter man lives in that part of the
county than Mr. Davis.
