ENDS HIS LIFE.
Charles F. Brown of Pine Apple, Found Dead in a Hotel at Atmore.
  Mr. Charles F. Brown, a resident of Pine Apple, and well and favorably known 
in Wilcox county, committed suicide in his room at a hotel in Atmore at an 
early hour last Wednesday morning by cutting his throat. The deed was done with 
a small new pocket knife, which had evidently been bought for the purpose. The 
deceased was a traveling salesman for a clothing house, and has been in bad 
health for some time. No motive is known for the rash act, but it is attributed 
to illness which probably caused temporary insanity. He went to Atmore several 
days before, and was confined to his room most of the time until his death. He 
was about forty-nine or fifty years of age and leaves a wife and one child. He 
was a Royal Arch Mason, and a member of Chapter No. 40, at Camden.
  An inquest was held and a verdict rendered in accordance with the above. The 
body was shipped to Pine Apple, where it was taken charge of by the family, and 
interred there last Friday evening.
