Jackson News – Week of March 8, 1882
Barnesville, Gazett

Saturday afternoon of last week, Mr. P. F. Foster, who resides near Zebulon in 
Pike county, attempted to sever his connection with this world by attempting 
suicide.  He took two vials of laudanum, we learn, but yet lives.  Certainly he 
has a better hold on life than most men.   What caused him to make such a 
desperate resolve, we have not learned, further than that it was something 
pertaining to his father’s estate.  He stands quite well in commercial circles 
in Barnesville, as we heard one of our leading merchants say Monday he was 
crediting him for all he asks.  But a short time since he insured his life with 
Major Cook, who represents the People Mutual Company, of Atlanta, for the sum 
of five thousand dollars.   When last heard from he was getting over the 
effects of the laudanum, and will live.
