The Marietta Journal April 12, 1894
POWDER SPRINGS

Mr James ESTES, (*) who lives four miles west of this place, attempted to commit
suicide last week by hanging himself.  He went into his barn and fastened a rope
to a rafter and around his neck and removed some planks from the floor so he
could jump through.  One of his sons discovered his perilous attitude just in
time to prevent his tragic death.  Mental aberration is the cause assigned.

Mr Robert L REAGIN, who lives one mile from town, has become very decrepid from
bad health and old age, being 82, and loses all presence of mind at times and
becomes so furious that his neighbors have to be called in to quiet and pacify him.

One night last week there appeared unto Mr and Mrs Charley SCOTT a little
responsibility, which entails upon them a very great responsibility for several
years, if life permits, that of rearing a baby boy, their first born.

Miss Lee CAMP of Atlanta spend Saturday and Sunday here with the family of her
cousin, Mr Wayland CAMP.  She is a young lady of fascinating beauty and with her
graceful and modest deportment, she won the highest admiration of all her new
friends here.  What a sore trial it was to some of our young men when the time
came to "decamp."

Miss Bessie ANDERSON, the assistant vocalist at the Centenary college,
Cleveland, Tenn., has returned here for a few weeks recuperation.

Misses Ida BUTNER and May SCOTT are spending the week in Atlanta.

Mr H J GROGAN of Cumming, Ga., visited - at least he was in town Saturday and
Sunday.  The young lady thinks he is a model represenative of the town in which
he lives, for he keeps a "Cumming."

Eld. MORGAN and wife of Acworth visited friends here Sunday and Monday.  Mr
MORGAN preached at the Baptist Church Sunday night.

Mrs Dr HUNTER spent last week with the family of her father, Mr C P BOWEN, of
Douglasville.
