Fort Lawn Shocked by Tragic
Death.


A special to The State from
Fort Lawn Thursday says This
community is shocked today by
what is said to have been the sui.
eide of Mrs S w Reep, who, it
seems, shot herself while in bed
at an early hour this morning with
a parlor rifle. The ball entering
at the left temple ranging upwards
doing its deadly work in few
minutes. 1t is rumored that there
may have been foul play, as no
one can account for such an act
unless it was prompted by jeal-
ousy. Mrs Reep was a highly
respected Christian lady about 25
years old and her death is a shock
to the community in which she
lived. The deceased leaves hus-
band and two children.

tofOre announced will be instruct
i've and entertaining and every

Truly the world is progressing. This
time it is a woman correspondent of a
certain large Philadelphia daily who
calls forth the above remark from me
by maintaining that in order to be
healthy and to properly enjoy horse
back riding a woman should ride
astride the horse, man fashion. This
may be all that the fair writer main
tains, but, shades of William Penn,
fancy the demure, Quaker maidens Of
that once Quaker city riding the cross

adelphians from a distance, of course.

lessly back and forth in their cages,
their soft sheathed claws making no

throng with wicked yellow eyes. The
keeper spoke again with an air of
pride of the 'wickedness'' of the tigers.
