PARTON.
The people were shocked Sunday morning when the news spread that James Batch, of Loveland, had hung himself in a barn. He had lived in this country since the opening of the pasture. He made his home with his brother, J. T. Batch. James Batch was a quiet, industrious young man, well liked by his companions. He was a member of the Baptist church, being converted while young. He was 27 years of age, and unmarried. He left a note bidding his relatives good-by, and asking them to have no funeral services.
The Woodmen took charge of the remains. He was a member of that order. Interment took place in Loveland cemetery Sunday evening. We can give no reason for the act. He leaves an aged father and several brothers, who have the sympathy of their friends in this sad hour.

LOVELAND MAN A SUICIDE
James P. Batch, a young man 21 years of age, a member of a well known and respected family living near Loveland, hung himself Sunday morning, and when found was quite dead.
It seems that Mr. Batch was living with his brother, John Batch, on a farm one and one-half miles southeast of Loveland, where the brothers were farming in partnership.
The young man went to his parents' home Saturday and visited them, returning to his brother's some time Saturday night. None of the family saw him when he returned. Early Sunday morning the little girls went to the barn to swing, as was their custom, and found the body of their uncle swinging from the rafters, with their swing rope tried about his neck.
They at once gave a frenzied alarm and the body was cut down. It was still warm, but Dr. Beach, who was among the first to arrive, found that life was entirely extinct, and that attempts at resuscitation were useless.
What the cause of the act is cannot be found. There was no apparent reason for Mr. Batch to wish to end his life. He was an excellent young man, very industrious, and a favorite among his acquaintances. The family is prostrated over the affair.
