Own Life With Shotgun
at WlnOna.

Mrs. ]. H. Shofner ended heI
life at Winona a few days ago BY
shooting herself in the head with
a shotgun. She placed the stock
of the gun on the floor and leaned

Mrs. Shofner formerly resided
at Port Gibson where her husband
was agent of the American Elk.

when he accepted a similar posi-

excellent woman, probably 20 or "a
years of age. She leaves her hus-
band and two small children.
The untimelY and tragic death
of this young woman came
as a great shock to her friends
here, many of whom had learned
to love her greatly.
Mrs. Shofner was planning to
come to Port Gibson, which place

Port Gibson, and the ring bearer
little Ellzabeth Barrett, niece o
the bride. The groom and hi
best man, his brother, met thu

semblage of friends and relatives
the beautiful marriage ceremony
was performed.
The bridal march was played By
Miss Wythe Jones, an accom-.
plished violinist from Crystal
Springs, accompanied by Mrs.
Woods of Brookhaven. Just be-
fore the bridal party entered, Mrs.
Barrett, only sister of the bride,
sang most beautifully Schubert's
serenade.
Immediately after the cefemony
the bridal party and the guests re-
paired to the dining room where a
sumptuous repast was served to
the many guests with the old time
hospitality proverbial of those
grand old country homes.
Several pre.nuptial affairs were
given the popular and lovely young
bride, the handsomest of which
was a beautiful Heart Shower
given by Mrs. Chas, A. Gordon,
that gracious and charming hos
tess, whose lavish hospitality has
gladdened the hearts of many. Her
beautiful home was decorated with
numerous poted plants and ferns.
Right merrily the game of hearts
went on until the guests were ush-
cred into the dining room where a
vision of beauty greeted them.
The table and its appointments
were perfect, and the decorations
of big red hearts suspended from
the chandeliers the length of the
table and extended into a huge
centerpiece, a cut glass bowl,
where a telegram to the bride elect,
received just as they entered the
dining room, informed her were
hidden little showers. A delightful
menn was sersA each course
bringing a surprise. -.

According to L. A. Higgins OF
the Mississippi A. & NJ. College,
who Is In charge of Dairy Exten-
sion Work, about 68 per cent of a
full feed consumed by a cow Is
used for maintaining her body.
The remaining 81 per cent goes to
produce milk. If she is only fed
90 per cent of a fall ration she will
use this for body maintenance and
will produce little or no milk.
