nor Stanley issued 126 commissions to
notaries public. This is considerably
above the average; the average number
is not far from one hundred a month,
although last January the number ran
up to 145. Commissions run for four
years, so that an average of one hun
dred a month for four years would make
not far from five thousand in the state.

Then Shoots Himself-Girl had Broken
Engagement on Account OF Parental
objection.
Chattanooga, Tenn, April g.
This afternoon at Summerville, Ga,
about forty miles south Of here, J.
J. Arlington shot and killed Miss
Minnie Cleghorn and then killed
himself. The tragedy occurred on
the street in front Of the home of
the woman. Arlington fired ten
shots, five taking effect in Miss
Cleghorn's breast and three in his
own breast. He died almost in
stantly, but the young woman lived
few minutes. They bad been en-
gagged to be married for some time,
but there was objection ON the part
of the wOman's parents, and she
broke the engagement several days
ago. Since this time Arlington had
been acting strangely and had made
several attempts to see Miss Cleg.
horn without success.
This afternoon Miss Cleghorn
started for the home Of neighbor.
She had gone only short distance
from her own gate when she was
accosted by Arlington. A few
words passed and Arlington drew a
pistol and began firing at her. All
the shots aimed at her took effect,
any one of which would have prov
ed fatal. When the young woman
fell, he pointed the pistol at his own
breast but the first two shots went
wild.
Both parties were members of
we'll known Georgia families. Miss
Cleghorn was the youngest daughter
of Captain John 8. Cleghorn, a
wealthy planter. She was charm
ing and counted beautiful. When q
passer-by reached her side she was
conscious and said:
"Oh, why did he do it?'
Arlington was manager of the
Arlington Drug Company and q
well-tO-dO business man.
