MRS. F. KENT
A SUICIDE

Mrs. Fred LELAND Kent, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Lucian Leland took
her life by hanging herself to her bed
Wednesday, May 26. Mrs. Kent had
been in ill health for some time and the
melancholy brought on by that con-
dition is thought to have prompted
her to escape her trouble by the dras-
tic method OF suicide.
Mrs. Kent had but lately returned
from Deland, Florida where she and
her husband had spent the winter
During the past two weeks she had
been noticed by her family and friends
to act as if her mind were not entirely
normal Various attempts to turn her
attention away from her suffering
such as automobile trips and the like
were used by her husband, but to no
avail
Mrs. Kent had been accustomed to
remain in bed during the forenoon.
Sleeplessness at night had required
this On Wednesday morning when
she did not appear her family did not
suspect anything unusual At ten
o'clock Mr.. Kent visited her and saw
nothing to warrant the expectation of
the coming tragedy. An hour or so
later when he brought up the morning
mail to her, he found her dead, her
body suspended from the bed post.
Mrs Kent had used a small cord to
strangle herself Her body was still
warm when found
The deceased is survived by her
husband, one son Harold of Norfolk,
Va, and one daughter Miss Mildred
Of Deland, Fla; one brother Soon Le-
land of Salisbury; two sisters, Mrs.
Elizabeth Sterns of Ukiah, Cal, and
Mrs. Minnie NJ Atwood of Palo Alta,
Cal Miss Mildred Kent is a senior
at J. B. Stetson University, Deland,
Fla
Several years ago Mrs. Kent, when
driving with her mother, was thrown
from the carriage and badly injured.
1t is said that the injuries to her spine
then received might have been one of
the causes of her late mental condition.
Mrs, Kent was born in Hancock viii
lage October 3, 1874. She had lived
in Salisbury many years. She was
married to Fred L. Kent October 13,
1892.
The funeral services will be held

MARK TWAIN LIVES
ON THE SCREEN IN
"HuckLEBERRY FINN"
Ills Famous Boy Hero Appears in ,
Really Great Photoplay

That Incompatible novel of. boy
life, "Huckleberry Finn" has been
put into what is declared to be a
truly great photoplay. 1t will be
shown at the Casino, Theater for two
days, commencing Monday next. The
motion picture producers say that no
stories lend themselves SO admirably
to production on the screen as do the
humorous works Of the inimitable
Mark Twain. "Huck and Tom" and
Tom Sawyer" were earlier photo.
play successes. Now the same di.
rector, William D. Taylor, has taken
the beloved vagabond, Huck Finn, and
made him the hero of film that is
said to be even more enjoyable than
its predecessors.
Lewis Sargent, boy.actor, red.
haired and freckle-faced and an ex.
perienced pantomimist, appears as
Huck Finn. Gordon Griffith is Tom
Sawyer and the rest of the cast main
talns the same high standard. Julia
crawford lvers, one of the cleverest
OF scenarists, adapted "Huckleberrv
Finn" to the screen and throughout
mas maintained the true Mark Twain
navor. 1t is Paramount Aircraft
