TRAGIC ENDING
Of YOUNG LIFE
In a Fit Of Dependency, Fora Fullerton, IS
Years Old, Takes Her Life. Body
Found Hanging in Barn
Special to the Enterprise.

0HCCAnA w OllS AAAAOSA PA AoSs
Ruthville, Tenn, July 10
Early last Sunday morning,
Mr.. R. D. (Babe) Fullerton
went down to his stock barn
to feed his stock, and about
themiddle of the hall of the
barn he found his precious
daughter, a grown young lady,
Miss Fora, hanging by a rope
with her feet touching the
ground, cold in death. She
had evidently been hanging
since about II o'clock the night
before, as about that time she
went to her fathers bed and
kissed him, but said nothing.
She was cheerful as usual Sat
urday; went to Ruthville and
conversed with friends, visited
a neighbor and no one suspec-
ted that she contemplated COM
hitting such a rash act She
left a letter lying by a lamp on
the kitchen table which it is
supposed she wrote Saturday
morning, as she came from her
room several times that morn
ing with a pencil in her hand
and added a postscript to the
letter Saturday night just be-
fore she took her life. By re-
quest, the writer read to a
crowded house the obituary
and the letter she left, which
is as follows:
Fora Fullerton was born
Sept. S, 1901; protested a hope
in Christ and joined the Mis-
sionary Baptist church in 1911
at the tender age of nine years
and lived a consistent member
of the same, always ready to
contribute her share to the
cause she loved; died July IA,
1917; age Is years ten months
and nine days. She was an
obedient child, a loving, affec-
tomato sister and a friend to
all. She leaves a heart-broken
father, a loving sister, a good,
kind step-mother, a half-sister
and a number of relatives and
friends to mourn their loss.
She is now sleeping in Jesus
and resting from her labOrs.
She had an only sister to
whom she was most devoted,
hence the letter she left was
addressed to her and is as fol-
lows:
Dear, Darling Sister:-Win write
"a few lines, the last I will ever pen.
When your eyes shall rest on this I
shall be numbered with the dead.
You will wonder at this of course,
but have come to the conclusion
that life is not worth while. Do not
try to blame yourselves or anyone
else, for no one is at fault No, don't
think | am crazy, for / am perfectly
rational and sane. Let my part of
the cotton money go to Daddy on

SAYS C0RNS LIFT
RIGHT OUT NOW

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn, the soreness is relieved
and soon the entire corn, root and all,
lifts out with the fingers.
1t is sticky ether compound which
dries the moment it is applied and
simply shrivels the corn without inflam'
ing or even irritating the surround.
ing tissue or skin. 1t is claimed that
a quarter of an ounce of freezone will
cost very little at any Of the drug stores
but is sufficient to rid ones feet Of
every hard or soft corn or callus.
You are further warned that cutting
at a corn is a suicidal habit, &c..
