TOO HIS O.'N LIFE.
Henry i'.iiltnn, of (-.ii'tieM, Hansel lliui
elf Limt I i l l. iv M.iriiln;;.
Tlu! shocking news was reecivei
he iv Saturday that Henry Britten, i
who resided near Garfield, had com
miiU'd suicide by linnin hims'-lf.
llt lia.l only boon married a few
months, lait his wife left him short
ly after, and resided near by with
her three children. JIo lived alono
with his young daughter. He sup
plied his wife with everything sho
needed, and did all the chores about
the place, such as preparing wood
and tilling tho va;;r pails, but she
constantly refused his entrecties to
live with him again, and neighbors
says that tlik; condition o affairs
preyed upon his mind heavily, but
no one dreamed that it would end
in his taking his own life.
Last Friday morning he sent over
some fresh milk to his wife, but she
refused to accept it. Ho expressed
no regret, but left the house with a
plow-line, as though ho was going
about some work on the tarm.
Ho did not return for dinner, but
Lis daughter thought nothing of it,
and in the evening she prepared tho
usual meal, but still ho had not re
turned. She becamo uneasy, and
about 8 o'clock she discovered his
dead body swinging from a joist in
a near-by housed used as a store
room by the family.
Her screams soon aroused sevoral
neighboring families, and tho news
of liritton's suicide spread rapidly.
When found his knees touched the
floor and his body was rigid, show
ing that ho hung himself that morn
ing and it was necessary for him to
raise his feet from the floor, and in
this way he doubtless slowly and
painfully strangled to death.
The deceased was a brother of
Jim Britton.now serving a life term
in tho penitentiary tor murdering
his wife several years ago, but un
like tho latter, Henry Uritton was
cheerful and kindly disposed, and
was devoted to his wife in every
way, and there is no doubt that her
refusal to live with him led hiia in
a moment of bitter reflection to
commit the act which ended hislife.
It seems the cause of their sepa
ration was trivial. Mrs. Uritton
objected when he attempted to cor
rect her children for disturbing
him while writing, and sho carried
. her objection to a separation.

One of tho most enjoyable occa
sions of the season for tho little
folks was the entertainment given
by Sheriff and Mrs. W. A. Lashlee
to their son, Master Alvin, on tho
11th inst., in honor of his birthday
anniversary.
In the advertisement, of Mrs. M.
J. Rushing last week we uninten
tionally omitted to stato the fact of
her being proprietress and also to
add tho word "manager" follow
ing the name of Mr. liC. Rushing,
as his connection with the firm is
as business manager.
Messrs. Alvin, Joe R. and S. W.

Mr. A. N. Lindsey, of Rier Sandv.
has tendered his resignation as dep
uty suerm, winch lias been accept
ed by Sheriff Lashlee, though with
many regrets, as tho former has
made an enviable record while in
Lidi-Gchr.rgeof his duty, and his!
name has been a terror to criminals
and violators of law and order. We
understand that the -resignation of
Mr.. Lindsey is due to the fact that
he will shortly engage in business
which will prevent him from giving
his attention to the duties of. the
office of deputy sheriff.
