The Marietta Journal April 26, 1894
POWDER SPRINGS

Mr George ESTES, who made an unsuccessful attempt to hang himself a few days ago
at this home four miles west of here, succeeded in taking his life Friday
morning.  Since his first attempt he has been watched by the family but he
escaped their attention about ten minutes Friday morning about ten o'clock and
went out to his gear house and hung himself with a plow line.  The family began
searching for him as soon as he was missed and his wife found him dead hanging
to the roof of the gear house.  For sometime he has been mentally unbalanced and
seemed determined on killing himself by hanging.  He was near sixty years old
and leaves a wife and several children.  He was buried at Bethel church Sunday.  **

Thieves have again invaded Hiram and this time B M Waltom & Co., are the
sufferers.  Their store was broken into on Wednesday night of last week and
relieved of about $25 in cash, a lot of tobacco and snuff, several pairs of
shoes and other small articles.  The thieves forced an entrance by breaking the
lock on the door.

The literary schools of Powder Springs, Lost Mountain, Mableton and probably
Austell will picnic at this place on the 4th of May.  General invitation to
everybody.

Rev John WILLIAMS preached at the Baptist Church here Sunday.  Eld. Thos R
MORGAN will preach here the 2nd Sunday in May.

Mr Tasker CAMP and wife of Fort Worth, Texas, who are visiting the family of his
father, Mr M P CAMP of Atlanta, visited relatives here Saturday and Sunday.
