Suicide - Mrs. A. O. Clark, of Jessup Station, who was decided to be insane and would have been removed to the insane asylum, committed suicide last Tuesday morning by hanging herself with a clothes line in the smoke house.

She committed the deed some time between 3 and 5 o'clock in the morning. When discovered by her son, he cut the rope and tried to revive her but life was extinct. The deceased had been afflicted for years with disease that finally destroyed her reason, and while crazed she committed the deed.
