Tired of Life.
An Old Man Grows Tired of
the Struggle.
Ad Sends Two Bullets in His Heart-
Macon Telegraph: Mien Mrs. S.
:B. Peacock saw her husband writing
a letter at the breakfast table yester
day morning she little thought that
it was his farewell message to her,
but such it proved.
After breakfast Mr. Peacock, who
was always of an industrious turn,
-did a few jobs about the house,
about half-past ten o’clock lie went
into the barn, which is situated near
his house, on Windsor Hill. The
neighbors who happened to bo look
ing at ths time say he went in the
ibarn in a hurried walk. Shortly af
terward a pistol shot was heard by
Mrs. Peacock, who thought her hus
band was shooting at rats in the barn.
Aunt Julia, an old negro woman who
lived on their lot, suspecting some
thing wrong, ran into the barn and
saw Mr. Peacock lying prone on the
floor. She called out: ‘ Don’t Marse
Sam, don’t 1”
Mr. Peacock motioned with bis
hand for her to stay away, saying:
“Go away, you can’t do me any
good.” Then he placed the pistol
against his breast and another report
rang out on the air. Aunt Julia call
ed to Mrs. Peacock and soon the
neighbors came l ushing in The un
fortunate man was taken up and
carried to his room, whore he expired
in a few minutes.
As he had not intimated to anyone
his intention of suicide, a search was
made for any paper that may have
been left. In his coat pocket was
found the letter which was written at
the breakfast table.
“Dear wife: If anythin" happens
te me soon, everything I have on
earth is yours. Sell out everything
and break up housekeeping. Try to
get you some place to board at, and
try to be as contented as you can.
Pay my debts. I owe Pete Harris
tsen dollars, T. J. Barron five dollars,
Mr. Daley a little provision bill, and
that is all I know of. Please don’t
grieve for me. I hope I will be better
off. I am miserable physically and
mentally. No one on earth knows
•what I suffer but God and myself. I
am no pleasure to myself nor to no one
else. God forgive me for what I do.
Margaret, I have told you what I
wanted you to do with what we have.
I want no administration on what
we’ve got. All is yours, to do with
as you please. If you want any advice
call on Mike Daly or Mr. Jenkins or
James Damour or any good friend. I
hope I have some frinds. Please
look after my wife, who has always
been good to me and kind. I hope
no one will ever take the advantage
of her. What I leave her, which is
not much, we’ve worked hard for.
Margaret, take care of Julia [the old
colored woman] the best you can. If
the rent of your place won’t keep you
up, eell and live off the money. I
want you to have the benefit of every
thing that is left. I want Louis
Tisserean’s wife and children tc have
half of everything that is left. Eliza
Streyer and her children to have the
other half after your death- Have
our grave lot walled in like Johnson’s
lot—grave bricked up. Bury me as
I have often told you, plain and’:
decent. Owe no one nothing for what I
you have done for mo. I have always
tried to do right. I love everybody. !
Good-bye. S. B. Piacoch.” *
Mr. Peacock was born in November,
1831, and was one of the old citizens '
of Macon. For many years be resided
here though he owned a farm in
Houston county. He lived with his ,
wife on Windsor Hill in peace and
happiness so far as the world knew.
No cildren ever blessed bis home.
For some time past it had been no
ticed by bis friends that he was grow
ing somewhat morose, but as be
possessed some peculiar habits, it
was not thought that the fit of
melancholy would lead to such a tragic
ending.
Coroner Hodnett held an inquest
over the body. The two balls enter- -
ed the left breast, either of which
would have been sufficient to have
produced death. The weapon used
was a3B calibre improved Smith &
Wesston pistol. The evidence disclos
ed no other faets than those related
above and the verdict was as follows:
“We the Jury impanelled to hold
an inquest on the body of S. B.
Peacock find that be came to his
death by shooting himself twite in
the left side with a pistol.”
—Animals, are often afflicted with a disease '
called the mange, the same disease in human '

A Farmer’s Rai ions Cut Short-
Madisonian: Mr. J. B. Henson’s ,
cookroom was destroyed by tiro last
Saturday night. The fire was discov-i
ered about 10 o’clock, and it was with
great difficulty that the barn aud ;
dwelling were saved. Mr. Henson .
sustained considerable loss including 1
about 1,000 pounds of bacon, consid
erable flour and meal and all of his ;
crockery. No insurance. He is one
of our best farmers, and lives about

To Dr. J. H. McLean, St. Louis, Mo.
—This certifies that my sister, Emily Crews,
was taken fifteen years ago with, a breast dis
ease in connection with menstrual derange
ments which produced a severe cough aud
general debility, rendering her helpless and
unable for any kind of service, and after baf
fling the skill of some of our best physicians
and using several hundred dollars worth of
various medicines on her to no good. Last
June I procured a bottle of Dr. J. H. McLean’s
Homoeopathic Liver and Kidney Balm, which
at once began to help her, since then she has
used seven bottles, and to our joy is restored
to good health, is gaining flesh and has be
come strong ami able to do her housework, she
is entirely relieved of her troubles and we
would not be without the medicine under any
consideration.

Wanted to be a Buffalo Bill-
Washington Chronicle: One day,
week before last, one of the little
boys at the academy was fooling
with an onl-fashioned carbine and
concluded to see what kind of a
“Buffalo Bill” he would make. He
fired at a knot in the fence, barely
missing another boy’s head. The
ball went through the fence and two
or three more houses, frightening that
part of the town considerably.
