s. H. MASTERS ENDS EARTHLY CA,
REER.

S. Fl. Masters. proprietor OF the
Brunswick billiard parlors, committed
suicide yesterday afternoon, but the
fact was not known until this morning
and the body located about 10 o'clock,
Yesterday forenoon Mr.. Masters was
at his desk writing letters, He ap-
peared to be in his usual frame of
mind. Closing the desk he left the
place about IL O'Clock and this was
the last seem of him alive. He went
TO the Oxford rooming house kept by
Mrs. Strayer and secured room. He
was given room II on the third floor.
In telling of the incident to Herald
reporter this forenoon Mr.. Strayer
said:
MY wife gave him the room She
did not know who II was. II was
about II o'clock. He left word 10 be
called about $50. | went to the room
al that hour and knocked on the door
heard him sort of cough and sup
posed he would get up. The door was
locked. Later my wife was up stairs
and heard the man groan, but thought
nothing unusual about IT, No more at
tention WAS given the matter until
search was being instituted for the
missing man this morning and after
describing him ] concluded Masters
was in room II and prying open the
door this was found to be the case"
The Herald reporter visited the
room with Coroner Goodman. Mr.. Mas.
ters had not undressed He was rest
ing on his left side. He had opened
the bed and then covered himself
carefully. He had taken precaution OF
making sure Of death. On the dresser
was bottle of chloroform capsules,
and he held IN his left hand an empty
three 10 four ounce bottle marked
chloroform. which he had inhaled.
He had tied a cord 10 the top railing
of the bedsted and then fastened it TO
the bottle so IL would just reach his
nostrils. This bottle was grasped In
his left hand when discovered this
morning. He had evidently held the
bottle to his nose until he became
and then with It suspend
ed by the cord continued to inhale the
deadly fumes. He looked very natural
with no apparent distress on his coun.
tenance. Mr.. Goodman called the am.
bulance and the body was taken to the
Goodman undertaking parlors.

tention 10 them from day to day, and
yet how we miss them when we are
away from their presence, A number
of Mrs. Snyder's friends were al the
depot this morning TO wish her good
fortune in her new location.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles f. Spath and
daughter, Miss Matte Lou, went out
on the Red Apple train today to their
home in Pennington. The ladies came
in on the eastern last night from
Texas. where they have been visiting
friends for the past month. Miss
Spath was a student at the Texas
Christian university at Waco, Texas,
hut little more than month ago
the buildings were destroyed by fire
and the university closed temporarily.
Mrs Spalh left for Waco as soon as
the news of the fire was received in
Pennington. and before returning with
her daughter. stayed over for visit
IN town yesterday on business per.
tanning o the Citizens ditch and also
to meet his family. The party were

woman who was to be laid away. Out
doors the wind scattered the pear
blooms In fragrant snow over the green
lawns and brought, too, hints of other
spring beauties-the pink and white
OF apple blossoms. The sarvis berry,
and wild crab.
Within the Presbyterian church, the
large congregation sat silent and wait
ed as the delicate heliotrope casket
containing all that was mortal of Miss
Hattie Mashburn was borne into the
sacred place where she had often wor-
shipped in the past years. The ladies
of the church had made the altar beau
t.ful with crab apple blossoms. Here
the dead rested beneath mound OF
flowers-liiies. roses, carnations, vio-
lets. smilax, ferns--as the music rose
and fell. and words of comfort and
eXhortation fell from the pastors lips
chorus choir sang OF peace.
That peace which flows serene and
deep,
A river in the soul"
Then the pastor read passages from
the Bible. which fell with soothing as
surance upon the ears of the listeners
Words heard so often and too often
nnheeded until dire need of comfort
brings mortals to the one never-failipg
Source-the Comforter Himself!
Between the two always beautiful
selections, Nearer. My God. 10 Thee"
and Jesus, Lover OF My Soul" there
was prayer, earnest and comforting
because of its message of faith and its
voicing OF the sorrows of us all--for
our own griefs live again in the sorrow
of our friends.
Rev. W S. Crozier took for his text,
after an obituary notice of the de
parted. that verse from the book of
Job. IF man die. shall he live
again." It was beautiful talk
thoughtful, comforting, earnest. The
sneakers answer TO this immortal
question was necessarily brief, but
convincing in its assurance OF a life
beyond the grave.
For this question is of interest TO
ali sorts and conditions of men who
are ever seeking 10 satisfy the restless
desire of the human heart for some
thing better than the world we know |;
in whose deeper thought is yearning
longing for another world.
God has planted eternity in our
spiritual seed never decays nor dies.
Hence the thought OF annihilation or
the end OF existence coming with the
end of life on earth, is abhorrent We
know it must be false.
After illustrating and proving in va
rious ways that there is a life beyond,
the pastor pointed out the New Testa.
ment answer TO the question, which is
found in Jesus Christ, the Way, the
Truth and the Life" In closing, the
speaker said: shall we not, in this
hour OF sorrow, rest in Him, who call.
ed TO him the weary and heavy laden,
and was himself acquainted with
griefs?' In this dark hour. let him
who is the light of the world, be our
light"
AS the choir sang asleep in Jesus y
an opportunity was given 10 the
friends present for last look at the
departed Then the pail bearers, p. b,
McAtee, A. p. Camp, John Perrung,
l. Kruschke, r. f.. Sloan and Charles
Snyder, took up their burden and soon
the mournful procession started for
the cemetery There the mortal part
of Miss Hattie Mashburn now sleeps
in Greenmount. and her active spirit
is busy somewhere beyond our ken.
