SUICIDE.
Uncle Gus Arnold Sends a Bullet
Through His Bruin-.
Mr. A. 11. Arnold, of Ellen wood —
or l uclti Gus, as he is better known
among his frinuds—has been for along
time the good uatured, happy and coi,-
tcnied agent of the blast Tennessee
road at Klleuwood, and was perhaps
the last person in Henry county to
w hom as much as a thought of suicide
would have been attributed.
The news.of his death in this tragic
manner was therefore received with
much surprise in McDonough last
Monday evening.
1 lie e luse of the rash act can only
be attributed to temporary insanity,
but even how this could occur to a man
who had always enjoyed such perfect
health as never to have a doctor with
him, besides, always being thoroughly
contented and prosperous, as was Uu
cle Gus, is a mystery.
His family had noticed some peculi
arity in his actions for ten or twelve
days previous, we learu, and he was
carefully looked after, but such a ter
rible result had not been thought of-
We get these particulars of the de
plorable affair from the Atlanta Con
stitution of Tuesday :
“hi the preseuce of his wife and
daughter, Gus Arnold, the agent of the
hast Tennessee at Ellen wood, commit
ted suicide yesterday.
In his own office ho sent a bullet
through his brain dying almost distant
ly-
Mr. Arnold has beeu residiug at the
little siution fourteen miles from At.
tanta for several months. He has
been connected with the East Tennes
see for many years. For awhile he
was c'aim agent, traveling up and
down the road. In this way he became
widely known and equally well liked.
And after that he was placed in
charge of the coal chutes and water
tanks in and about McDonough. In
Henry county he acquired possession
by bis industry and judicious invest
ments, of several large plantations and
other property.
His father, Senator Elijah A. Ar
nold bad left him a considerable inher
itance and in all he was very well off.
Several months ago Gus Arnold
took charge of the office at Ellenwood.
He was a large, portly man and im
pressed every one of bis being in the
best health, and he seemed to live a
happy, coetented life.
A week or more ago, however, lie
appeared to grow despondent. VV'hat
reasons there were for such a state of
mind no one could tell. Hut he bright
ened up again after a day or two and
nothing more was tliougt of it.
Yesterday afternoon shortly after 11
o’clock, the East Tennessee came
thundering up to the little station.
Mr. Arnold had been standing on the
outside seemingly in a meditative
mood, lie then went into the office
where his wife and daughter sat.
Suddenly they heard a shot and
wi re startled to see the husband and
father fall to the floor, bolding in bis
baud the deadly pistol that had done
the work.
They rushed to his side, but he was
scarcely breathing. They bent over
him and at that moment Gus Arnold
breathod his last.
It was just as the train came up.
The passengers learned of the tragedy
and rushed to the little room. There
the agent lay, his head bathed iu blood,
with a bullet through his right temple
Mrs. Arnold had run from the office,
her dress almost dyed iu the blood of
her husband. A physician hastily
came up, but it was too late.
No reasons could be assigned for the
suicidal act, beyond that of temporary
insanity,
Mr. Arnold’s tragic death will be
heard with great regret by the many
who knew him in the state. He has
two sons on the East Tennessee, Mil
lon, a fireman, and Emmett, the agent
at Braswell.
A daughter of his, Mrs. Calloway,
resides iu Atlanta.
Mr. Arnold was fifty four years of
a ge- ,
Musicale at the Institute.

body is cordially invited and wanted.
It will be a nice entertainment, and
those who attend cannot fail to enjoy
it. Let the hall be filled, and thus
encourage the children and teachers
by showing your interest iu the In

It will be an evt-uing well spent.

THE BPRINGIIME OF LIFE.
The hills are crowned with beauty,
The green-clad valleys speak of peace,
And into me a slil voice whispers:
“He still, 0 heart, thy murmuring cease.
“Behold the world around you—
Well hus nature done her part
Io make thy life a life of pleasure—
He still, be still, impatient heart.”
“The flowers that bloom along thy pathway
tiludly greet the warm sunshine;
Yea, the world is full of gladness—
Save that fretful heart of thi no.
Around (lie trees ihc Birds are singing—
’l is morn—(he sun is shining bright,
But soon will come the dewy evening,
And Ihen—ah then, the solemn night.”

Mr. G. P. Combs, of Locust Grove,
gave us a short call, Monday, and we
learn from him the pardcu'ars of a dar
ing robbery perpetrated from his resi
dence one night last week. The thief
entered the stove room window, went
into the bed room, rifled his pants
pockets and loft without detection.
He got about $12.50, all the money
Mr. Combs had about his person, and
this seemed to be his only object, as
nothing else was missed. A small ftce
dog awakened Mr. Combs by barking
in the house, when be got up and look
ed around, but could detect nothing
but the open stove room window, which
he closed and thinking nothing more
of it went to sleep again, llefore he
got up next morning his pants were
carried to him by some negroes who
found them near the road and recog
nixed them. A negro man was arrest
ed for the crime, tried and bound over
to Superior court. A hare-foot track
was found which fit him exactly, and it
was proven that he was out the same
night hare footed.

point lor burglars, this following so

counted for in no oilier way.
Kicked Into Kternity
Mr Scab Cathy’s famous kicking
mule has performed his last act in that
great role for which mules am mostly
noted. While ascending a hill a few
days ago, a trace broke and the afore
said mule at once commenced backing
and kicking for all that was in him.
He came in contact with the end of a
shaft, which perpetrated to his insides,
bursting a vital artery, and the blood
spurted like a bold fountain, tie was
unhitched as quiekiy as possible, when
he made a dash for borne, but fell just
before reaching there and was dead be
fore anybody could get to him.
All “kickers” of whatever character,
should take timely warning from this
sad catastrophe.
