COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Mr, Jofin G. Tarwater Tafces His
Own Life.
PROMINENT CITIZEN.
dur town was thrown into great; ex
citement last, Wednesday morning,
viWti it w resorted that Mr. John G.
Tarwater had fatally shot himself
through the head with a pistol. This
rash act was indoubtedly, committed
during1 an aftJ&ck of temporary mental
aberration, resulting from overwork
,nd the excessive burdens growing out
of his extensive business.
For some time Mr. Tarwater had
been , greetly depressed, and was
Nervous and gloomy: but no one
imagined that his condition .. was
serious. On Tuesday night he seemed
more cneeriui, out on weanesaay
morning te was greatly depressed and
quite nervous. "Secretly securing his
pistol he hurriedly left the house, and
weSt into a field adjoining the town,
where hiding himself in a. gully, he
committed 'ftfe fatal act that usKert'd
him into eternity.
As soon as it was tnown that he had
left the house, taking his teistol with
efforts were made to ascertain
whereabouts, but the report of the
pistol that ended his life guided the
people to him. Kind friends tenderly
carried him ni& Viome, where Drs.
Macon and King did all that could be
dAne to save him; but their efforts
were in vain. He remained uncon
scious until about one o'clock, when
his tired spirit iefVbereA into the great
beyond "
Under any cirfcurt stances the death
oi Mr. Tarwater would have been a
ciuse of sincere regret throughout the
entire community: but the startling
tragedy which ided his career has
greatly intensified the sorrow of his
friends, and ca-st a gloom over the en
tire community.
Mr. arwater came tft W&rfiVon
about thirty years ago, and engaged
in business. During his residence here
lie has engaged in various enterprises,
and has shown himself an energetic,
public-spiriied fcitisen. For the last
fifteen Veiifs fte and his brother have
c6nduicte& Ifteir present business with
marked ability and success, and
deemed to be entering upon a period
ftf unusual prosperity.
In early life Mr. Tarwater "made "a
profession of religion and uriiWd witli
ths Baptist charch ih Clarfoville, Va.,
where he ltjiifiM his membership un
til his death. lie was a kind-hearted
man and a public-spirited citizen. He
was devoted to meml)ers of his family
and his mother and sisters and brotheTi
(liis father tlied before he came hr'e)
were the objects tender and lrtTiii'
devotion.
On the ith. of June 1800, Mr. Tar
water was united in marriage to Miss
Lizzie Macon. ?To them God ifave one
son wl6 Ve'a'rs khe naihe of his father.
His ife and ianiily Hre prostrated on
account of his death, and the whole
community joins them in sOrrow, an";J
extends to them heartfelt sympathy.
The funeral service took place from
the Baptist church yesterday at 3
o'clock and the interment took place
in Fairview cemetery.
