Editor The Manning Times:
This community had q gloom cast
over it when the news spread around
that Mr. C. J. Rich had committed
suicide by shooting himself. although
be has been despondent and drinking
for a long time. All the pleading and
praying that his loved ones done for
him was all in vain. He was kind
man and had many friends and his
faithfulness to his aged mother and
father in their. last days will not soon
be forgotten. 0! What pity that he
was not strong enough to overcome
the awful drink. Young men this
should be warning to stop now before
it is too late. Think OF this once pros
porous and happy young man, led to
such an awful fate by the curse Of
drink.
God is merciful, repent now, and do
not let the tempter lead you on. May
the dear Lord help the family in this
trying ordeal.
