DEATH OF DR. COX.
It is with real sorrow that we chronicle the death of Dr. David Cox, who departed this life in Hertford on Wednesday, aged 69 years. Dr, Cox was one of Perquimans county's leading citizens, and before his sudden stroke of paralysis, which terminated in his death, there was no more useful or intelligent citizen in that county. But his strongest claim to the estimation of the public was the sterling character of his moral constitution. He was a true friend, an upright and honest man in the highest sense of that lofty attribute, with courageous convictions and sternest fidelity to duty. Such a man is a great loss to his wise counsels in times of exigency but in his example to the young men who are taking their places on the arena of life. He belonged to that class of Perquimans county gentleman of the past generations that illustrated every manly virtue, and gave the county a proud name throughout the State of North Carolina. We sympathize with the sorrowing household, and feel a personal bereavement in the death of an old friend.
