A suicide always creates surprise and
excitement, and when it became known
Saturday evening about five o clock
that Chas F. Jones had made what
would most likely prove successful
attempt at suicide at his saloon, a
crowd was not long in gathering The
means used was opium tablets and
before the attendants realized what he
had done he was beyond aid, never
recovering consciousness until death
came about o clock.
Jones had become badly involved in a
financial way and this together with
other matters had been preying ON his
mind until to escape the worry he took
this final step.
His remains were inferred in Fair
view cemetery Sunday attended by
numerous friends of his wife, who
deeply sympathize with her in her
affection.

A Coming Orator.

The Nashville Daily American in a
recent issue has the following of one of
Van Buren, 8 rising young men, who is
destined to make his mark in years to
come. Mr. Mullen, 1t will be remem-
bered, entered the university only a
short time since. having secured one of
the Peabody scholarships from this
state:
Last evening the Erosophian Literary
Society of the University of Nashville
held its regular weekly meeting at its
rooms in Lindsey Hall, where very
interesting program was rendered.
The debate. Resolved, that com
pulsory education is of advantage TO the
State, was decided unanimously in
the affirmative. The orators were
Pierce, of Georgia. and Mullen, of
Arkansas. Pierce acquitted himself
creditably, but Mullen, both in
rendition and the language of his
Grafton. was far superior. 1t is believed
that Mullen is now among the very first
orators of the university. He will
represent the Erosophian Socity in the
Christmas entertainment by being the
society orator.
