HEARTBROKEN GIRL

Left a Letter Saying She

Could Not Live Without

Her Faithless Lover

The suicide of Miss Lillie Melton-

a young school teacher at Nortonville last week was one of the mostmelancholy tragedies ever occurring-in Hopkins County Miss Meltonaccording to a letter she left hadbeen deprived of her virtue by OttoEison an employe of the ortonvilleMercantile Co who married Miss

Berna Barnett of Mortons Gap

Dec 30 One hour later Miss Mel

ton drank carbolic acid and took herown life declaring in a pathetic letter to her faithless love that shecould not live without him

The following is one of thepathetic paragraphs in the letter ofthe brokenhearted

Berna is a dear sweet girl andshe will make you happy She ii

better than poor me but she cannotlove you any more than I do andshe is not any purer and more vir-

tuous than I was Before you sulliedmy honor I wonder Otto thatyou could contemplate marriagewith any girl after the things thathave passed between us after you

have told me over and over againthat you never meant to marry thatyou did not think you could possiblyever get ready to marry SometimesI wonder if you ever told me exactlywhat you felt and meant at any-

time God knows Otto it is a terri-

ble thing to win a womans heart todeceive her from first to last Godforgive you as freely as I do for thethings youhave made me suffer

Miss Melton was 22 years old adaughter of Jas W Melton and

was widely popular in Madisonvillewhere the family lives Miss Meltonhad been teaching school at Nortonyule
