Last Saturday night Miss Jessie
Barfeld, a handsome young lady
Of Metropolis, Ill, committed sui
eide at Paducah, KY, by taking
poison. After taking the drug she
told what she had done, but all eff
forts to save her life were to no
avail. She was an orphan girl and
lived with relatives at Metropolis,
and because they objected to her
marriage with a young man she left
and went to Paducah to stay with
other relatives and was then dis
carded by her lover, which is as
signed as the cause for her rash
act.
Miss Jessie was a granddaughter
of Mr.. Charles Barfeld, who lives
near Big Sandy, this county, and
had visited here, making a number
of friends during her visit, all Of
