Suicide In His wedding Nut +.

A startling sensation was create on
Tuesday nightin Upper Sandnsky ohn,
by the deliberate suicide of Fowler
Berry, senior partner in the dry .,vds
firm OF S. r. Berry & Co. He dr. ,sed
himself in the afternoon In his wedding
suit preparatory to starting at night Tor
Cincinnati, where arrangements we're
made for his marriage to an estinable
young lady of that city on Wednesday.
About g. clock he walked into his store,
and after all we're gone to supper bo,ted
the front door, went to the carpet room
up stairs, and, laying his head upon a
small roll Of carpet, drew 81 calihre
revolver, and, placingit Immediately
behind his right ear, sent ball through
his head. When his brother Foster re-
turned from supper he was astonlshed
at finding the door fastened inside. Upon
the arrival of one of the clerks a window
glass was broken in the rear part OF the
store, and, going up stairs, the terrible
discovery was made. 1t is believed
death was instantaneous, as he still held
the instrument of death in hi, hand.
The ball passed clear through his head
and lodged in the carpet underneath. A
note addressed to his brother was found
at the head of the stairs, which stated
that he was washed, dressed, shaved
and all ready to be placed in the coffin
He had even taken precautions to but
ton his overcoat close around his throat,
and tied handkerchief around his bead
to prevent the blood from soiiing his
|clothing. When the news was car led Il
the home of his parents, who were still
sitting at tea, the scene was heartrend

Idea

In regard to Clothing may
not be amiss at this season,
and the better it is the more
you will take to it.
Although some merchants
believe the time to make
profits is only the present,
yet we look just as much at
the future, and endeavor to
prove to our customers that
they are to be benefited in
every transaction equally as
much as ourselves. How will
we do this Clothing, like
everything else (material not
considered), is made in SO
many ways that prices vary
even in the same goods
This can be accounted for in
the trimmings and makeup
both matters of no small i'm
portance to take into consid-
Grafton when selecting your
winter purchases. In order
to place before our custom
ers such clothing only as we
can fully recommend,we have
not only kept our entire
force of hands together dur
ing the dull season, but have
a stock of ready-made gar
ments, which is far superior
to ordinary clothing. By max
ing our own goods, we also
make it an inducement for
good hands to work for us
by giving them steady work
all the year. We cordially
invite you to examine our
stock, take into consideration
trimming, make and style,
and we will leave the matter
of prices entirely with your
judgment. For boys and
children, we arc prepared to
show an unusually large as
sortment of all the latest
styles, properly cut,well trim
med and nicely made.

Do not think that flour is
not good if it is not as white
