Our town was terribly shock 'd and grieved last Wednesday veiling when the Picayune came up bringing the body of Mr. Herbert Neal, the 17 year :dd son of Mr. John B. Neal, and it was ’phoned over town that he had committed suicide. That morning he bought a buttle of laudanum from Dr. A, J. Mathews, got lib father’s pistol, and took the noon train and went down to Bonoville four miles from Thomson, got off tho train and wandered around i ho mill pond there un til about dusk, took the lauda num and then shot himself twice, in the abdomen and the right temple, producing instant death. Our town was shocked at the suicide of this popular young man who was tho pet of the whole town and the idol of his father’s homo. While he had been in bad health for several years, yet but few people thought it was preying on his mi,id. lie left a letter to his mother asking all to meet him in Heaven. He seems to have brooded over his bad health un til his mind was deranged and he sought relief in death. No young man had more friends and was moro beloved than Herbert Neal, and bis many friends are grieved at his tragic end. Herbert was a member of the Baptist church and was held in high esteem by all who were acquainted with him. The largo concourse of people who attended the funeral—one of tho largest gatherings of peo ple ever assembled in the ceme tery—attested the popularity and esteem in which ho was held. Five of his school-mates, Messrs. Durham Watson,Edwin Harrison, Alva Watson, Quinn West and Clarance Heckle and bis cousin, Ray Neal acted as pall-bearers. lie was interred in the cemetery here this morning at ni^j o’clock, Revs. G. W. Duval audit. E. L. Harris conducting the services at the home of his father. To tho heart-broken family our sympathies go out in this dark and grief-stricken hour, and we pray God’s sweetest consolation upon thorn. Foil Dead. Mr.'.V.S, Ruvnker, of Lurny, V;i.
