Robt. Whitaker Kills Himself

Robt. Whitaker, who lives just across the river in Meriwether county,
committed suicide last Friday about sundown by hanging himself. We have
not learned the cause of the rash act.

Mr. Whitaker was a man of, perhaps, thirty-five years. He was married in
this county to a most estimable lady - the sister of Dr. J.B. and E.D.
Matthews - and has lived in this county up to this year making his home
at Concord. Mr. Whitaker was a carpenter by trade, and helped to build
the depot at this place.

He leaves a wife and six or seven children.
