Revive Her..

Creeping through the cold and
darkness into the cemetery in which
her mother nine months ago was
buried, and seating herself on the
damp grave after scribbling a few
lines for the information of whomso-
ever might find the body, Miss Gladys
ienoir pretty twenty-year-old young
woman of Magnolia, Miss, last night
ended her life, near her home by
drinking large quantity of carbolic
acid.
A message to this effect was receiv-
ed at Police Headquarters early today,
with the request that the young wom-
ans sister, Miss Lula Lenoir, employ
ed in local five and ten cent store,
be notified. The sister left on the
first train today for Magnolia, to take
charge of the body, and to make ar
rangements for the funeral
The message was sent to Hatties'
burg by DR.. Moore. 1t was brief, and
read as follows:
Miss Lula Lenoir: Your sister com
mitted suicide tonight by drinking car
bolic acid ste died on your mothers
grave. What should be done with the
body?"
The message was delivered by Of
iicer Messer at the home on Forrest
street whore Miss Lula Lenoir board
ed
The sister could give but a faint
nrobable cause for Miss Lenoir's act.
The Probable Cause.
81 haven't been at home since Sep
tember when ! left to come here to
work" the young woman said before
leaving for Magnolia. my sister was
not, so far as l know, in bad health
She has grieved much over the death
of our mother about nine months ago
and | fear that her mind became un
balanced over that. That more than
likely was the cause of the suicide
Where Miss Lenoir obtained the
poison could not be learned today
She procured a small bottle or the
acid and left her home for the GENE
tery early in the night. How Ions
after she had taken the poison till tint
body was found, no one knows. He'
means attracted passerby who' OF
investigating, found the unconscious
bodv on the grave. 1t was taken U
her home, where physician met IL
She died within short time.

" Woodrow Wilson"
VIII Be the Name
of the Sayre Boy
WHITE HOUSE INFANT TO BE
CALLED AFTER THE
PRESIDENT.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 19.-"Wood
row Wilson Sayre," that, in all proba-
bility will be the cognimen of the
eleventh baby to be born at the White
House, which. as President Wilson's
first and only grandson, came last Sun
day.
While the entire country is making
fuss over what name should be CIV
en- the youngster, there seems to be
no doubt but that the logical appella-
tion of Woodrow Wilson" will be Sc
lected.
If the Sayre baby follows the pace
he set during the first night he will be
a model infant. He gave his attend
ants little trouble.
A large heap of rattles sent by mem
bers of the Wilson and Sayre families
and close friends were ready for the
baby as soon as he should show inter
est In them. Several baby baskets
had also been sent to the White House
but the one used was prepared by Mrs
Sayre herself.
A toy Princeton tiger for the Sayr,
baby was given to. President Wilson
yesterday by a committee from thu
Princeton Alumni association.
"The baby's father is Williams
College man." said the president, "an'
therefore l don't know whether
should accept Princeton tiger 70
him."
"But his mother came from Prince
ton," replied Edgar Allen Poe, attol
ney general of Maryland. '"The bo
must be sent to Princeton for the SAX
of his mother and grandfather"
