Occurred at The Little Town
Of WheatCrOft
PROMINENT YOUNG PEOPLE
Kills His Pretty Child wife and Then
with a Pistol Puts an End 10 His
Own Existence
CITIZENS ARE AWED At AWFUL CRIME

One OF the most horrible shooting
affairs imaginable occurred at Wheat
croft Sunday evening in which Abe
Wallace, a young farmer, and son Of
r. p. Wallace, Of Wheatcroft, shot and
killed his child wife, ard then ended his
own life by sending bullet through his
brain.
About three months ago Wallace
married a Miss Reese, Of Wheatcroft,
bright and attractive young girl Of
only fifteen summers, he being but
nineteen years Of age.
The union was not happy one and
they were continually separating, after
which Wallace would persuade his
young wife to live with him again.
From the beginning, 1t seems that he
loved Miss Reese to distraction and
she did not reciprocate his feelings
with the same vigor, but the child,
not realizing what the realities Of mar
ried life were. consented to a marriage.
Within only a few days she saw her
mistake and decided not to live with
her husband. The last reconciliation
proved 4 failure and resulted In the
awful tragedy. .. b
Wallace tried to see his wife Sunday
but she evaded him. However, she was
walking along n street with girI
friend about $50 o'clock in the even.
ing when Wallace walked up. pushed
the girl to one side and then fired the
fatal shot which took effect just above
the victims right eye, killing her in.
stantly. He then stepped to one side,
placed the muzzle Of the revolver be-
tween his own eyes and fired the shot
which sent his wretched soul TO face
its Maker.
The affair was a grea. shock TO the
quiet little town Of Wheatcroft and has
cast gloom over the entire county.

Large SunfIOwer.

Old Uncle Nose Moblcy who lives

an ardent admirer of TIE TINES,
having been n subscriber for years
and years, brought to this office the
largest sunhowcr we have ever seen
in the up-country. The disk alone
is a little over II inches in diane
ter and 3S inches in circumference.
In connection with this notice, it
might be of interest to recall the
neurological origin of the sunfower.
1t is this: Clytie, a sea nymph, sit
ting day after day upon a rock in
the sea, fell deeply in love with
Apollo, the sun-god. She pined for
him SO that through pity, Appolo
changed her into the heliotropium
or sunflower; and thereafter she
gazed with rapt admiration upon
he god throughout the day, ever
tlrning her face toward him as he
pursued his course through the
heavens. Two lines from Thos.
Moore concerning this are:
The sunflower turns on her god
when he sets
The same look that she turned when
he rose -

Corrections.

BY One of those errors that can
not be avoided in newspaper office,
Mr.. JOS. Sanders name was omitted
among the candidates for County
Commissioner, in the account of the
meeting at Santuck. THE TIMES is
always more then glad to correct
any error in its columns, and we
feel sure that our patrons give us
credit for never making an intcn-
tional error.
Mr.. Sanders spoke forcefully in
favor Of good roads, arguing the
quick repair of bad places and poor
bridges, utilizing the stone and tim
Der at our easy command. He does
not favor the county going into debt
for this purpose, but advocates this
economical method of quick repair,
and at the same time to build good
permanent roads just as fast as the
county's funds permit. Mr.. San
ders is good speaker.
Another correction is that Mr..
Bentley opposes" not approves"
floating the 100000 bonds.
Still another is that Mr.. A. A .
Strock, who forged the name of
Mr.. l.. b. Jeter on note, did not
secure the money for it.
