Prof. I. F. Cox Dead

Mr. T. W. Harvey received a telegram Monday morning announcing the sad death of Pro. I. F. Cox, of LaGrange Female College of apoplexy. Prof. Cox was a brother of Mrs. M. C. Bivins, of Pineville, and cousin of Mr. T. W. Harvey, of this place. The commencement sermon of this college was preached on Sunday last and this good and useful man was taken off on the eve of the exercises of the college. Prof. Cox leaves an interesting family to mourn his loss, and we sympathize with his relatives in this county.
