Perry Clins of Catawba Ceunty Commits Sui-:
Perry Ciine of Catawba county,
shot him self through the heart
about noon Monday and died im
mediately Mr Cline was about
22 years old, worked during the
night at the express office and
roomed on West Innes street,
where he committed self murder.
He was known to ije dissatisfied
with his work and was losing
weight so rave up his position,
was expecting- to obtain employ
ment ai Spencer, but a friend who
was going to take him out to the
shops made f delay and promised
to go out with him in the after
noon He had been dratted and
excused, but received notice to
report for service in the army.
He . had
married only a few
months ag3 and leerned to be
quite despondent, He went to
his room just before noon Mon
day placed something over $10
on the dresser, wrote his wife a
note, she being at her sister's a
shore distance away, telling her
that he loved her and that he
could not take care of her as he
would like to, then shot himself
through the .heart. Neighbors
were called in aud his wife and
the officers were notified. His
remains were taken-to an under
taker's and later to his wife's
sister's home, Mr T L Propst,
on i-outh Caldwell Street, where
they remained . uniil Tuesday
morning when they were taken
to Newton, thence to his old
home in the country, where the
funeral and interment took place.
No one seems to be able to give
a plausa1 le excuse for his rash
act, but it is thought that owing
to lack of profitable employment
and the fact that he had been
drafted had something to do
with it.

Mr Business Man, if you have

mould get it at once and adver
ise your goods in the Watchman
if you want to reach a class of
iowan connty's citizenship that
s really worth while. Don't
think for a minute that you
reach all the pedple through any
it'ier advertising medium.
I'd ere are Jots and lots of people
vvhom du can not reach through
any other paper but this one.
vvt- happen to know whereof we
speak If you are prejudiced
-tg aint 1 he p per on account of
its polio v to sue an extent that,
you will not use its advertising
columns you are the greatest
loer Our readers will probably
conclude that you are prejudiced
against them ako and do not
want their trade and they are
uot likely to force it on you
T-he paper stands for what it
conceives to be the right thing
and there is absolutely no apol
ogy for its policy. If you do not
believe in ; dvertising may the
Lord have mercy on your unpro-t
gressive spirit- You are neglect
ing the one essential thing that'
will boost your businessr - Get
wise, advertise or the sheriff will
do it by and by. Ex.
While the b ys and girls are
at distant points they naturally
wish to hear from Home. You
may write often yet overlook
much tnat they would like to
kuow. Vi hat could be better
than to send them the Watchman
and Record, two papers per
veek, durning the school term
for prily 50c ts. This would give
them all the news and be much
cheaper than writing. Send in
