The Georgia Enterprise
     Mr. Z. P. Wallace, of Gum Creek district, committed suicide one evening
last week. He procured morphine in Covington, made and had his will recorded,
returned home, took the fatal drug, dressed himself and proceeded to "shuffle
off this mortal coil" in a systematic and business like manner. He was very
well off in this world's goods and why he took it into his head to make such a 
rash exit from earth is something that his many friends cannot explain or 
understand. For years he was a reader of this paper and we always found him to 
be an upright, honest man. He was an old bachelor and between 50 and 60 years
of age. Owing to our absence from home when Mr. Wallace died we were unable to 
record his death in the last issue. In all due respect to the memory of our 
departed friend,  we would say that if any one else in the county contemplates
suicide they will please do so while we are at our post of duty else a notice
of their demise must neccessarily be delayed.
