What "It" Caused Bristol, Tenn.-Va., Feb. 14.?Eleven children and a widow remained tonight as the wreckage of two families at Black Ford, Va., where jealousy bursted into flames yesterday and caused the death of three parents. J. D. Howard, father of seven children came home from his work iu a store across the line in West Virginia, quarreled with his wife and accused her of infidelity. In high anger, according to the reports of officers, Howard fired a pistol at her, but missed. "Shoot again," Mrs. Howard cried, resident of the community reported. A second bullet pierced her brain. The enraged man then killed himself. Two hours later, Henry Grant, whose reported attentions to Mrs. Howard had aroused her husband's fury, ended his own life with a pistol shot. Grant is survived by his widow and four children. Brought into court last week on a charge of his relations with Mrs. Howard, Grant was acquitted by a jury. Officers said today that Grant was at the Howard home when the husband returned unexpectedly from his work yesterday, but left the house before Howard discovered his presence.

Heretofore, 21 the maximum yields in most tests have been made with varieties of less than one inch staple, but Coker's Pedigreed Seed Company have now perfected varieties (including Cleveland Strain 6) which not only make maximum lint yields but make a premium staple jfjl under average conditions.
