He came here last May as clerk for
F. C. Williams, and by his faithful
ness in business and mis- pleasant,
obliging manner, secured the conf
dence of his employer and the good
will of the community. He had been
away during the week for visit re-
tuning Thursday night. Friday
morning he was not well, but nothing
serious was apprehended until the
afternoon, when he grew worse rap
idly. 1t was then found that life
had become so intolerable to him that
he had taken poison the night before,
but the quantity being insufficient to
effect his purpose he had taken a
still larger quantity at noon. The
usual remedies were applied and
every effort was made to save his
life, but without avail and he died at
one o'clock that night. There can

OF a morbid feeling of despair en-
gendered by opposition to cherished
plans intimately connected with his
future, caused the act which has tax

apparently gave promise of much flu
ture usefulness. The deepest SYM
pathy is expressed for the afflicted
family.
