SUICIDE OF LEON ARMSTRONG.

Leon Armstrong, highly respected young
man of 80 years, committed suicide last Sunday
afternoon by hanging in his stable, few miles
from this city, on what is known as the Halls
Corner road. Young Armstrong was a car.
penter by trade, and was to have gone to work.
in this city Monday morning. He is very high
ly spoken of by all who knew him. His wife
and children were away from home Sunday
and when they returned at o'clock the little
S-year-old girl went to the stable to look for
her father and found him hanging from the
center beam in the main part Of the building
That he had premeditated the act was shown
by his careful dress. He had bathed, shaved
and put on his best Clothes over which he had
placed his overalls and frock. He then put up
fall and tackle, hitched it to one of the stalls,
threw this over the main beam, and, putting
slip knot about his neck, ended his life. 1t is
said that his wife, formerly Miss Bertha New
bert, left him some time ago, leaving also their
three little children. She returned a day or
two ago, although it is understood that she did
not intend to remain. 1t is thought that brood
ing over his unhappy affairs was the cause of
his suicide. He was born in Belfast, the son of
A. B. Armstrong, policeman of Charleston,
Mass brother, Cleveland Armstrong, lives
in Jamaica Plains, Mass His wife and three
children, Geneva, Bernice and Cecil. aged 8, 5
and years, also survive him. The father and
brother arrived on Tuesday mornings boat and
the funeral was held at 230 p. m. yesterday,
Rev. A. A. Smith pastor of the Universalist
church officiating. Intermlent was in the fam
lily lot on the home place.

A TRIBUTE.

"For what they were and all they dared, re-
member them to-day"
We come once more to yield thee reverent
homage,
Oh, thou illustrious dead;
To strew again with fair and fragrant bios
SONS,
Each green and lowly bed.
No call of bugle evermore can rouse thee,
From thy deep, dreamless sleep;
Above each mound the sun and stars of heaven
Eternal vigils keep.
Forgotten now the trumpets brazen clamor
The shower of shot and shell
The clash of arms, the smoke and stain of bat
Thou sleepest long and well.
Brave hearts that throbbed with high and no.
BILE courage,
Strong hands that fought for right;
Though by thy blood redeemed our glorious
country
From slavery's fearful blight.
Beside the Rappahannock's silvery waters,
Safe in earth's tender breast;
y,
Our soldiers lie at rest.
Bright southern flowers with sweetest incense
laden,
Bloom fair above each breast;
Soft balmy winds, low moaning, ever whisper
A requiem DER their rest.
In our free land in every quiet churchyard
Some veteran lies asleep;
And there each year with slow and falterng
footsteps
Old comrades pause to weep.
Wars wounds are healed, and Peace, the
white winged angel,
With gentle hand has bound,
North unto Sonth with bonds of love fraternal,
And strife, with calm has crowned.
All honor then to thee, our silent heroes,
Who now with God abide:
Long may we keep unstained our flag, "Old
Glory"
Meath which thou fought and died.

A FERTILIZER FACTORY.
A $4,000 Plant May be Established r
Belfast.


For several years past Mr.. A. B. Stantial has
been urging upon the Coe- Mortimer Co., of
New York, the big fertilizer concern for which
he travels, the Importance of establishing
plant at Belfast, where there are excellent
facilities for transportation by rail and water.
Last week Mr.. George D. Leavens of this COM
pany came to Belfast and looked the ground
over. piece of land just above the lower
bridge, owned by the Fields, was decided upon
as favorable location and an option taken on
it. If as favorable rates can be obtained from
the railroads prevail in other sections
$4,000 plant will be erected here and Belfast
will have new and important industry Of
course the Coe-Mortimer company will be well
coined here and receive all possible aid and en-
couragement from our citizens.
