which resulted in the death of the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Jeffries,

fracturing his skull. The family are strangers here, having recently moved
to Aragon from South Carolina, but they have the heartfelt sympathy of the
people of this section in their sad bereavement. (Cedartown Standard,

Mr. T. F. Jones, of Hematite, had been meditating suicide for some time and
carried out his plan in startlingly effective manner Friday. He placed the
muzzle of a shotgun at the base of his brain, and pulled the trigger with a
forked stick, tearing away the entire back of his head. Mr. Jones wrote to
Mr. W. R. Seals, of Cedartown, a couple of weeks ago, asking as to burial
expense, and left a note Friday in which he gave Mr. Seals direction for
shipping his remains to Boonville, Miss., together with money to cover his
bill. While having the appearance of health, Mr. Jones imagined that he had
tuberculosis, and worry about this produced the mental derangement that
caused the tragedy. (Cedartown Standard, June 28, 1917)

that she would be glad when the last breath came, for not until then would
she get ease. She is survived by two sons, F. L. Clyatt of Houston, Tex.,
