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. Annie Ryals, col., has a situation I on the public works for 25 days, in consequence of her throwing a rook at a negro hack driver, and striking a drummer on the head.
