Trough! One Must Prominent
Ladies ot The City to End
People of Mdiedgoville wero inex
pressibly shocked last Friday evening
to receive tho sad intelligence from
Macon that Mrs. R. N. Lamar, recently
removed from this city, had ended her
existence by cutting her throat with
seme sharp n atrument, according to
authentic statements. The direct cause
of her death was nervous breakdown
brought on bv ill health following the
denth of her linsband, Hon. R. N.
Lamar, of this city, who was county
school commissioner. After culling
herself she leaped from her win low and
her brother seeing her, followed. He
evorto k her vv. inn two blocks and she
died in In's arm*.
