Took Own Life.
Estimable Woman Ends
Life OF Suffering by Self
Destruction But Leaves
No Explanation.

On last Friday, at her home
about four miles North of Lexing-
ton, Mrs. Uby Gibson, aged "a
years, wife Of Jim Gibson, took
het own life by shooting herself
in Che breast near the shoulder.
with q revolver. Mrs. Gibson,
having no children, was at home
alone except the presence of a
colored woman, who lived with
the family. Mr.. Gibson was in
tho field at work, not far distant.
AT 8 O'Clock or a little earlier
Friday morning. Mrs. Gibson
told the colored woman, named
Ellis, to 60 into the kitchen or
another part Of the house, which
she did and not long thereafter
the fatal shot was heard by the
Ellis woman, who gave the alarm,
which soon brought Mr.. Gibson
to the house. Medical attention
was procured, but in spite Of all
that could be done, Mrs. Gibson
died at noon or q little before
without explanation Of the rash
act, more than was already
known in the fact that she had
long been an invalid, her malady
necessitating a surgical operation
by a Nashville specialist and the
proba BILE early necessity for
another similar operation.
Mrs. Gibson was a daughter of
James N. Britt and the bereaved
husband is a son of Henry Gibson,
thus representing on both sides
the best element of our county
people. The long illness Of Mrs.
Gibson and the faithfulness and
accomplishing performance of
every duty by her husband have
been the subject Of remark
among all who knew them.
The remains were uttered at

CARE OF THE HAIR IN
 EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

In Southern Europe the very straight, homely appearance of the hair of lower class native women is due to it's excessive gTeasiness and could be greatly improved upon by .he elimination of all excess oil. Through out the continent among the higher social classes gerat care is taken to keep the hair perfectly clean, not with soaps and makeshifts. but with preparations made just for the sham poo. and it is probably for this reason alone that the hair of European wom- en is considered the most beautiful in the world The much desired fiuf- mess and softness of hair which fol low canthrox shampoosi are the result of its perfect cleansing power. You can avoid any bad condition of scalp or hair by use of this economi- cal homemade shampoo, which is prepared very quickly by just dissolv- ing a teaspoonful canthrox (which every drug store carries) in cup hot water and pouring slowly on the head as you rub briskly. This makes a wealth of rich. cleansing father which will soon restore the nun and lustre to the duIlest hair and encourage . beautiful growth.
