We regret to learn of the death of Mrs. Will Davis, which occurred at her home near Locuct Grove last Wednes day, the 26fh iust. Her death was very sudden. She retired the night previ ous as well as usual and when she arose next morning to go about her household affairs she fell back ou her bed uuconscious and lived but a short time. She was the daughter of Uncle Dink Bonner, who lives near this place, and was just entering into the bloom of womanhood. She was married to Mr, Davis about a year ago. Her remains were laid to rest on the following day at Indian Creek church. We extend to the bereaved husband and family heartfelt sympathy in their sore be reavement.
