Resolutions Adopted by the Veterans.

A few years ago the ladies of the
Confederate Monument Association
erected on the Court House Square of

bare plat Of Ind. Today it is sur
rounded by a u autiful plaza, laid off
and planted in strawberries and fiowers
by the ladies of the Civic Association,

tion, should first improve and beau
tlfy the spot upon which stood the
monument to the heroes who gave
their lives FOR their country's cause.
and it has touched the hearts and ex.
cited the gratitude of the surviyOrs of
said dead. Therefore be it.

Negro Commits Suicide in County Jail.

T'illman Weatherall, a young negro
confined in the county jail on a charge
OF hOusebreaklng, committed suicide
about noon last Wednesday, by shoot
ing himself with pistol. How he
managed to procure the weapon is
mystery to the officers.
The night previous Deputy Sheriff
Scott opened the cell door to give the
inmates of the Jail some ice water.
Suddenly Weatherall thrust q pistol in
the officers face and commanded him
to stand aside. MIR. Scott slammed
the door shut and drew his pistol, and
the prisoner crept back into corner
of tho cell without further attempting
to make immediate use of the pistol.
The deputy sheriff then secured two
gentlemen to assist him in dsarming
the negro, and when they attempted to
do 80 he fired one shot at the crowd.
Fortunately it went wide Of its mark.
The officers then left the prisoner So
curely locked without succeeding in
disarming him. He remained in posses
sion OF the weapon during the night
and the next morning, and held Sher-
iii Green and his deputy at bay until
About noon Wednesday, W hen he was
alone, Weatherall shot himself through
the breast, intiicting a wound that
caused death in short time. 1t ia
thought that, being battied in his
etforts to escape and fearing death for
himself, he took his own life in tit of
desperation.
Weathelall was bad negro and had
served term on the county chain-
gang. He had been confined in Jail
for about month and would have
been tried this week in the sessions
court for housebreaking. It is not
known how he secured /. the pistol. 1t
seems that he had planned primarily
for his own escape, though he may
have had in mind q general Jail deliv-
