DIED.

       Hoyed Cooley, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Cooley, died at the family residence Sunday night at 8 o'clock after a lingering illness of slow fever.
       Hoyed was a kind and upright boy and his untimely death is very sad indeed, as he gave great promise of a manhood of usefullness in future years.  He was a devout christian, a kind and dutiful son, beloved by all his acquaintances.
       The remains were interred in the city cemetery Monday at 4 o'clock.
