The information is NOT to be SOLD!) W.E. PUTTY SUICIDES. Last Sunday morning this community was deeply shocked by the intelligence that W. E. Putty, one of our most highly esteemed citizens, had committed suicide. shortly after breakfast he went out to his barn, presumably to see after his stock, but was gone so long that his wife sent to see the cause of the delay, and then the horrible discovery was made that he had hanged himself. A large crowd quickly gathered in response to the alarm and the lifeless form was cut down and carried into the house, where all restoratives were applied by several physicians present but without avail. He left no written message explaining the rash act, but it is thought that financial reverses was the cause. Mr. Putty was about 47 years of age was a miniser, in the Christian church and a man of many excellent traits of character. he was raised in this county and had been engaged in business in Gainesboro for several years. He leaves a wife but no children. Funeral services were conducted at the Christian church late Sunday afternoon by Bro. W.A. Rash, after which the remains were deposited in the cemetery near by. a large concourse was present and much genuine sorrow manifested. ************************************* Mrs. J. G.
