A Romantic Marriage.
Sunday last the particulars of a
secret marriage became known to
the people of Lawrenceville, for
the first time, though the ceremo
ny had beer, performed more than
a month ago.
The principals to this romantic
affair are Mr. It. C. Rogers and
Mias Ora Bloodworth, both well
known and popular young people
of our city.
For a year or more the couple
have been sweethearts, and their
friends had freely predicted a
marriage, -so when the particulars
of the secret wedding came out
Sunday it elicited little surprise.
It seems that the ardent young
lovers were married on Monday,
May B.th, at King’s mill.
The happy couple had driven
out ou a strawberry hunt that
afternoon, in company with Mr.
M. M. Sammon and Miss Kister
Born. A marriage license from
DeKalb county was already iu
Mr. Rogers’ possession, and he
called on Mr. Sammon to get the
services of J. G. Hood, Esq,, to
tie the nuptial knot, and when
that gentleman arrived on the
scene the knot was tied in short
order. Secrecy was enjoined on
all parties, and the happy couple
returned to Lawrenceville
Miss Ora is the daughter of
Mrs. W. W. Bloodworth, and is a
very bright and charming young
lady, while Mr, Rogers is the son
of Capt. Rogers, of Milton county.
Since his residence in Lawronce
ville he has been the efficient
stenographer in the law office of
Maj. W. E. Simmons, and is a
model young man in every wav.
When tho particulars of their
romantic marriage became known
Sunday the happy couple were the
recipients of many congratulations
from their friends, all of whom
join with ,the News-Herald in
wishing them all manner of hap
piness and prosperity in their
wedded life.
SENDS A BULLET
THROUGH HIS BRAIN.
BURRUS BATES COMMITS SUICIDE.
Family Troubles Drive,Him to
The Kasli Act.
Monday just about the noon
hour our citizens were startled by
the report that Mr. N. B. Bates,
a prominent and well-known citi
zen living near town, had taken
his own life. Investigation re
vealed the fact that the report
was only too true, and that Mr.
Bates had blowu out his braius with
a 88-calibre revolver.
The facts as gathered at the in
quest held over the remains by
tbeCoroner were about as follows:
For two or three weeks past Mr.
Bates has been in a state of un
rest and nervousness on account
of the discontent of bis wife, who
was prevailing upon him to sell
out his farm and move to Chatta
nooga, where her people live.
Mrs Bates had been down to Nor
cross visiting relatives, and on
Monday morning returned, in.
company with her sister-in-law,
Mrs. Wilkes. Being in a state of
nervousness, Mr. Bates was sus
picious that Mrs. Wilkes was en
deavoring to influence Mrs. Bates
to leave him, and a day or two
before his wife returned he had
expressed this fear to one of his
neighbors.
Mr Bates had been born and
raised on his farm and was loth
to give it up, but for the sake of
his wife had reluctantly consented
to sell out, and this was the under
standing before Mrs. Bates went
on her visit to Norcross.
When she returned in company
with Mrs. Wilkes, Mr. Bates met
them at the railroad crossing,
where the narrow-guage train
stopped to let them off, and es
corted them to the house. Arriv
ing there he complained of fatigue.
Lying down on the veranda he
called for a drink of water, which
was brought to him by Mrs. Bates,
fine then assisted him into his
room, and he stretched himself on
the bed, pulling off his -hoes. Ho
complained of being se k and np-
I pealed to Mrs. Bates not to leave
him. Mrs. Bates had begun to
puck up a bed which had boon
given her by her mother when she
was married, and this evidently
j caused Mr. Bates to think that
they had come back to pack up
her belongings and leave him.
i Mrs. Bates assured her husband
that she was not going to leave
I him while ho was sick.
Just as this assurance was given
Mrs. Bates stepped out of the
: room on an erraorl, and ere she
j reached the opposite part of the
house was startled Jiv the mu (lied
report of a pistol shot. She rushed
back into the room pud found her
husband still lying on the bed,
but with a bullet hole through his
brain, his right hand clutching a
smoking revolver. Ho was gasp
ing for breath, and died in about
30 minutes without regaining
consciousness. He hod gone to
the mantle over the fire-place, and
got the pistol and blew his brains
out with it.
Mrs. Bates gave the alarm and
soon a largo concourse of people
gathered to learn the particulars
of the sad tragedy.
Mr. Bates was a well-known
man and had figured prominently
in politics, having at one time
been a candidate for representa
tive of the county, He had, how
ever, for the past year or two been
more or less in a state of melan-
choly, and while he had his real
tumbles allowed his mind to brood
on many imaginery ones. Like
all that is human, he had his
faults, ns well as virtues. His
sad ending has cast a gloom of
sadness over the 00011111111113’.
Mr. Bates had been married
twice, and b sides his widow leaves
a little son (Simmons) by his last
wife, and two children by his fir*t
wife—James Bates and Miss Jessie
Bates, both of this city. He was
a brother of Mrs. W. J. Born, and
had many relatives in different
parts of the county.
His remains wore interred in the
new cemetery here Tuesday morn
ing, in the presence of a large
concourse of sorrowing friends
and relatives, the obeequies being
conducted by Revs. Pogue and
Hodges.
The coroner’s jury returned a
verdict that deceased came to his
death by a pistol shot, fired by
his own hand.
Miss Janet Bain
On last Monday morning, just
as the duties of the day were be
ginning in the little village of
Hapeville, the sweet and gentle
life of Miss Janet Bain was touch
ingly plucked and spirited to an
other world.
Miss Bain spent several weeks
iu Lawrenceville last year, as the
guest of Rev. and Mrs. J. Wood
Pogue, during which time sho
made many strong admirers
among the best people of Law
renceville. She had only been in
Hapeville for two weeks, where
she had gone to spend u few days
with friends. Thus one of Atlan
ta’s most prominent and young
society ladies passes away.
Mr. S. Kendrick Besigns.
Monday lust Mr. E. Kendrick,
cashier of the Bunk of Lawrence
ville, tendered his resignation of
that institution, to take effect
July Ist.
Monday evening the Directors
of the Bank held a meeting and
accepted the resignation, though
his successor was not elected.
Mr. Kendrick had received an
offer of a position at another
point, paying him a better salary,
and this was the inducement that
caused him to tender his resigna
tion.
Mr, Witb.am, the president of
the bank, has been notified of Mr.
Kendrick’s resignation, and will
be present when his successor is
elected.
It is probable that Mr. W. M
Sasser will be elected as Mr. Ken
drick's successor.
