On Sunday the sad intelligence of
the death of Mr.. VIM. B. Spence, of
Columbus, Ga, was received here by
Mr.. Francis Bobb Mr.. Spence grew
up among us and was one Of our
finest young men. Shortly after his
marriage to Miss Sarah Dickcrt,
about l8 years ago lo moved to At
lanta. For more than year he had
been in declining health. Some time
ago the doctors Informed him that
he would have to undergo a very
dangerous operation. This fact prey
ed so upon his mind that it resulted
in mclancholia. The temporary un-
balance of his mind caused him, in
an unconscious state, to make an at
tempt upon his life Saturday week
ago. He was carried to the hospital
and hopes for his recovery were en-
tertained by the attendants and him
self for he was shocked and gricvcd
when he became conscious and dis
covered what he had done. If he had
recovered from severed windpipc
it would have been the first on re-
cord, therefore il was not surprising
when he became suddenly worse Sat
urday and death claimed him. One
of his last requests was that his body
be laid to rest ait his boyhood 5
home. Mr.. Spence was 43 years of
age and it is a notable fact that he
held only three positions during his
life. This of itself speaks more
clonucntly of him than many words
could do. His wife and three daugh-
tcrs survive him.
