The community was shocked to learn of the death of MRS. JOE BOB SOUTH, which occurred Sunday a.m. at 11 o'clock. Henrietta was such a sweet girl. We extend our sympathy to her husband and two little children.

 Poagville

MRS. JOE BOB SOUTH died quite suddenly at her home here after an illness of only a few days duration, she died of Colitis. MR. & MRS. SOUTH were two of the best people that Poagville afforded, always kind and considerate of others and doing little things of kindness.

MRS. SOUTH was quite a young lady having just entered her twenties being only twenty-two years of age. She was married to JOE BOB in the year of 1918. She leaves a husband and two babies, a father and mother and several brothers and sisters, and scores of friends to mourn for her.

But remember dear friends there is a world where we meet, to part no more.

The writer extends his sympathy to the bereaved family.
