as they've only three or four months to

LINCOLN.
Lydia Haywood, wife Of Charles
Haywood, committed suicide Friday af.
ternoon last, by cutting her throat. She
had been somewhat low spirited during
the morning, and in the afternoon gave
the hired girl some directions ip regard to
the Homework and quietly went out. A
short time after her brother, p l. Bristol,
drove into the yard to inquire after her
health, and, being informed by the girl
that she had just stepped out, Mr.. Bristol
went to the horse barn, few stops from
the house and there fonnd Mrs. Haywood
lying in horse stall, with her shawl
drawn closely around her heap and neck,
and, thinking that she was in fit. took
her in his arms and carried her to the
house, when he discovered that she had
cut her throat on each side with a razor.
She gasped few times after she
was discovered. Mrs. Haywood has been
i'll for more than a year, and a portion
Of the time con fined to the bed. She has
at times expressed fears that she might
be insane. and said that her life was
burden to herself. 1t has been rumored
that rhe attempted suicide once before by
taking opium. She leaves a kind hus
band and three sons to mourn her loss
She had large circle of acquaintances
and friends that sympathize with the be.
reaved family. She has been an active
member Of the christian church for long
time, and was held 10 high esteem as a
christian wife and mother by all who knew
her. The funeral, Sunday afternoon,
just twenty five years to day from the
time that Mr.. and Mrs. Haywood we're
Joined in matrimony, was by far the larg.
est gathering ever witnessed in Lincoln
About $50 people were present and over
$50 teams were to be seen in the vicinity
of the church Rev. John Buzzel, pastor
of the Free-will Baptist church, delivered
a very touching discourse from Psalm
1922, Cast thy burden upon The Lord
and He shall sustain thee - Sister thou

firm sold a costly set of jewels to Il lady.
The firm knew that her husband was in
a failing condition, but the lady had been
q long and profitable customer. When

charge the set which had been de-
livcrcd, but to make a memoran-
dun on the blottcr, he paid the lady's
integrity Il high compliment. When her
husband failed the jewclry came back
with q note couchcd in such terms that
the dealer only regretted that a gift OF
the set would be construed asan insult
