Southland Items

A negro preacher named Frank Ivey committed suicide here Saturday about noon by 
shooting himself in the head with a single barrel shotgun.  The negro’s mind 
had become deranged over his stepdaughter trying to run away and marry for 
which he tried to kill her and then went into his house and fired the shot 
which killed him instantly and set his clothes and bed on fire.  The girl 
escaped with two or three wounds and will recover.  Suicide in the colored race 
is rarely ever known.  This is the first in the history of this section.
