Self-Defense.
SAID GRIssoM sLANDERED HER

Mayfield, Nov 24.-The facts a,
brought out by the coroner's inques
into the killing of Squire Rober,
Canaday by Bud Grissom pace Girls
som in a somewhat different light
from the first story.
Grissom. who had been going WITH
a young daughter of Canaday's some
time, was reported to have boosted
of his intimacy with the girl, WHIT
was only about 16 years old. This
coming 10 the ear of Mr.. Canaiay
demanded a retraction of the state
ment derogatory to his daughter
This he promised to do, but instead
Of making the statement asked for is
said to have left the country.
When the news OF his return to
the county reached the father he
again demanded that the young man
place the retraction Of the story I'm
writing. which the young man again
agreed to do. but failed to keep his
word. Lately Grlssom has been pass
ing the Canaday place and the slain
man determined to take the first OPP
portunity TO make the aanderer at
his words. Saturday on seeing him
approaching in a wagon. Mr.. Cana
day went out in the road and hailed
him. Grissom jumped from the
wagon and again promised a retrac-
ton. Whereupon Canaday said that
he really ought to give him a good
whipping. When he said this Girls
som placed his pistol against the
body OF Mr.. Canaday and fired two
shots in quick succession. imme-
iiately running away and coming TO
town he surrendered to the authori-
ties.
According to the statement Of his
daughter. Mr.. Canaday did not cal
for a gun at all, but she seeing that
young Grissom had a pistol In his
hand when he jumped out of the
wagon, seized her fathers gun, which
was not even loaded. and started out
to the place where they were stand
ing. but Grissom in the meantime had
fired the fatal shot.
The funeral services over the re-
mains OF Squire Robert Canaday
were held at Salem NJ. r. church,
south. Just east OF Boaz. and the
largest ooncourse OF people ever as
semb,ed at that point were gathered
to show their respects for the de-
ceased. The sermon preached by the
Rev. w. J. Mayor was an eloquent
tribute to the memory OF the de-
ceased. who had been a faithful men,
Der and efficient officer OF Salem
church for years. Mr.. Cansday leaves
q wife ana six children to mourn his
los and most OF friends VINO deeply
sympathize with them In their grief.

LYDIA e. PINKHHM

No other medicine for Woman's
ills in the world has received such
widespread and unqualified en-
dorsement as has Lydia 4. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, made
from native roots and herbs.
No other medicine has such Q
record of success for woman's dis
eases, or such hosts of grateful
friends as has Lydia K Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
For more than 30 years il has been
the standard remedy for feminine
ills, inflammation, liberation, and
consequent Spinal Weakness.
II has relieved more cases Of Back
ache and Local Weaknesses than
any other one remedy. IL dissolves
and expels tumors in an early stage
of development.
Irregularities and periodic pains,
Weakness of the Stomach, 1ndiges-
ton, Bloating, Nervous Prostitution,
Headache, General Debility, quickly
yield to it; also deranged organs,
causing pain, dragging sensations
and backache. Under all circum-
stances it acts in harmony with the
female system.
II removes that wearing feeling,
extreme lassitude, don't care "and
"want TO : be : left alone" feeling,
excitability, irritability, nervousness,
dizziness, faintness, sleeplessness,
fiatulency, melancholy ortbe" blues."
These are indications of Feminine
disorders, which this medicine over
comes as well as slight arrangement
of the Kidneys of either sex.
Women who are sick and want to
get we'll should refuse to accept any
substitute for Lydia 4. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
