Flora, Aug. 16. -- A telephone message to Mrs. F. M. Goodloe Saturday afternoon brought the sad news of the drowning of her little nephew, Durwood Dunn, aged 11, which sad event occurred at his home in Summit, Miss.  The particulars are not known, but it seems that he was at Godbold Wells, resort, within a mile of Summit, and it is supposed that he was bathing in a lake nearby.  The little fellow recently visited Flora, where he made many warm friends, and was a decided favorite with all who knew him.  He was the grandson of Rev.
