Hiram THOMAS, an old man who lives near the Honey Hill school house, committed suicide last Thursday about 11 o'clock, by shooting himself in the forehead with a rifle.

His wife had gone over to a neighbor's house and when she returned he was lying on the floor, in his sock feet, in a great pool of his own blood, yet warm, his hand still clutching the gun that did the deed.
No excuse is assigned for the rash act. At times he has been deranged for several years.

Some months ago he was married to a woman over in the state, and they have been living happily together.
