wrought up, and in the evening he got
excu ed from his employees for while.
s'He Immediately went to Mr.. Watson's,
also Maury county man, where his
wife was visiting. and sought an inter
view with her. She was on the front
gallery. He entreated her to return and
live with him and seemed to want to
satisfactorily adjust their troubles but
she declined to accede to his wishes,
saying that she loved him when they
were first married, but as he had talked
about her in a way that reflected upon
her character, she no longer cared for
him and did not want to have anything
to do with him. At this juncture
Crosthwait arose and said: If we can't
live together, we can die together; where
upon he drew his pistol and fired. Mrs.
Crosthwait jumped off the gallery, or
porch, and ran around the house, the
Infatuated husband following and shoot
ing at her. Mrs Crosthwait reached the
back -door of the kitchen and was irving
to gain entrance, when her husband ran
up, caught her and placed the pistol to
he back of her head and sent ball
crashing through her brains. She fell
, and expired in less than twenty minutes.
Two of the balls took effect in the left
side making CHASTITY wounds. Seeing
THAT his work was we'll done, Crosthwait
then blew his own brains out, dying in
stantly. He was tall spare-built man,
tweny eight years of age. Mrs. Crosth-
wait was ten years younger than her hus-
band and was of pleasing address. The
baby is a bright little girl, not quite two
years old.
''The tragic affair is deeply deplored
by all who knew the unfortunate ones,
both being we'll known in Delta county,
Texas. Crosthwait was we'll known in

borhoods in Maury county"

CARD FROM THE BANKERS.

TOsOur Friends and Patrons The
custom of allowing overdrafts by banks
is inconsistent with safe banking
principles. 1t allows the customers to
borrow from the bank without its con-
sent. 1t forces the bank to furnish
money unexpectedly, and frequently at
times when it is not desired to increase
its loans. 1t draws from the funds of a
bank which have been set apart and re-
served to pay depositors who have
money to their credit. 1t is therefore
decided by the directors of the under
signed banks that after July Is, 1900,
no customer will be allowed to overcheck
his account under any circumstances
whateve-
The hcers of each bank will take
pleasure in granting loans to their Gus
toners in sums to suit their wants, on
presentation of satisfactory notes, but
they are forbidden after July Is to pay
any check where the drawer has not

SABBATH OBS ERvANcE.

A correspondent writing from
Spring Hill-who, by-the-say, we
are glad to have reclaimed from the

"Please allow me to addmy approx

timely and truthful editorial on the
decoration of the Sabbath by some
West End merchants. To nur shame
and disgrace, the same thing Is prac-
ticed here by some. Add my name

The editorial referred to took the
position that the West End mer-
chants who keep their business
houses open and FELL goods on Sun
day, should be boycotted by all peO-
pie who opposed Sunday selling. We

MURDER And SUICIDE.
j. H. Crosthwait, a Former Maury
Countian, Commits a Ter
rible Deed.

A friend of the HERALD, writing from
Edgewood, Texas, gives the following
details of shocking double tragedy, as
related by eyewitness to the affali in
which j. Ii. Crosthwait, a former
Maury Countian, figured as one of the
principals
son June 5, between and 5 o'clock,
this blood curdling tragedy was enacted.
About five years ago Mr.. Crosthwait
came to Delta county, Texas, and about
three years since he and Mr.. McKin-
ney, who were not on good terms, be-
came rivals for the hand of Miss Belle
Whitaker, good natured, handsome,
attractive country girl. Crosthwait and
Mckinney, both being rather passionate,
soon became very jealous of each other;
violent threats were made, which ter
minated in a shooting atfray, in which
Mckinney was killed. Crosthwait was
put under bond for the killing, but for
lack of evidence was released.
"Shortly afterwards, Crosthwait and
Miss Whitaker were married, and after
living together nearly year they sep.
arated on account of Crosthwait's pecu.

turned to her fathers.

two years, during which time Crosth-

She would turn a deaf ear to his plead
