FARMER S WIFE FOUND IN
WELL WITH THROAT CUT.
Her Husband, Cam Duckworth, of
Pleasant Grove, Is Sought—Mo
ther-in-Law Held as Witness. .
Americus, < J a.. Nov. 13.—With
her throat cut from ear to ear the
body of Mrs. Pearl Duckworth,
wife of Sam Ihiekworh, well
known farmer of Pleasant Grove
community, seven miles southeast
of here, was found in a well near
her home late last night. Neigh
bors who bad been asked to search
for the woman by Mrs. Sal lie
Duckworth, her mother-in-law, re
covered the body, the well being
searched at the suggestion of Mrs.
Duckworth. Sam Duckworth, her
husband, lias disappeared and
Sheriff Harvey, Deputy Summers
and a party of citizens of Leslie
community are searching for him
today. Mrs. Sallie Duckworth,
who guided the searching party
to the corpse in the well, was
brought to Americus at daylight
this morning and is being held in
Sumter county jail as a material
witness in the case.
The case has mysterious aspects
as it is known Mrs. Sallie Duck
worth had been searching for her
daughter-in law during several
days and that yesterday she scour
ed the neighborhood in company
wiht a negro woman and when the
two passed the well said, “Pearl
may he found in the well. If sheis,
her throat is cut.” Later, she ask
ed a white neighbor to help her
hunt for the missing woman, and
again referred to the well, saying
if she were found there her throat
would he cut. This neighbor final
ly informed Sheriff Harvey, who
went out to Pleasant Grove about
midnight and soon found the body
in the well. He immediately ar
rested Mrs. Sallie Duckworth and
sent her to Americus. Later,
searching about the premises, he
located and destroyed a still
which had recently been operated
by some unknown person, and it
is believed this still probably has
some connection with the death of
the woman.
The Duckworths have lived in
Pleasant Grove community during
many years, and the finding ofthe
woman’s body in the well has
created a sensation here. Sam
Duckworth, who is being sought
for diligently hy the authorities,
is well-known in Americus and
throughout the county, and has
heretofore been regarded as a res
pectable and reliable farmer.

LIFE S HIGHWAY.
As you journey through life's
highway
Drop a kind word here and
there;
Pleasant words will cost you little.
You may reap a harvest fair.
There are times when frail ones
falter
And in darkness blindly grope;
Then a kind word is a jewel
In a diadem of hope.
When you see a person falter
Lend to them a helping hand;
Il will he a good mark for you
In the relms of angel land.

Life
Was a
Misery
Mrs. F. M. Jones, of
Palmer, Okla., writes:
"From the time 1 en
tered into womanhood
... 1 looked with dread
from one month to the
next. I suffered with my
back and bearing-down
pain, until life to me was
a misery. I would think
I could not endure the
pain any longer, and I
gradually got worse. . .
Nothing seemed to help
me until, one day, . . •
1 decided to
" take "
The Woman’s Tonic
“1 took four bottles,"
Mrs. Jones goes on to
say, “and was not only
greatly relieved, but can
truthfully say that I have
not a pain. . .
" It has now been two
years since 1 tookCardui,
and I am still in good
health. . . 1 would ad
vise any woman or girl
to use Cardui who is a
sufferer from any female
trouble.”
If you suffer paincaused
from womanly trouble, or
if you feel the need of a
good strengthening tonic
to build up y ourrun-down
system, take the advice
of Mrs. Jones. Try Car
dui. It helped We
believe it will help you.
