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 ' beings is called the itch and is highly conta gious, to cure it, mix flour of Sulphur with Dr. J.
