A complaint for divorce was filed Tuesday morning and by agreement and without further ceremony, the same was heard in evidence and a divorce granted forthwith. The inteerested parties were Catharine Reynolds vs W. A. Reynolds, residents of Hartford township. It will be readily seen by this procedure that justice sometimes grinds swiftly as well as surely. This was the sixth suit for divorce filed for consideration by the court at this term. And it came to pass after he had advertised his goods there came unto him great multitudes from all the region round about, and did buy of him. And when his competitors saw it they marveled among themselves, saying: “How be it that this man is busy while we loaf about our doors?” And he spake unto them, saying: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, in this fast age of push and rustle, it is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than for a business man to flourish without advertising.” Dr. J. S. Coverdale has purchased a half interest of Dr. D. D. Clark, and the two have established the Decatur Rupture Cure Company. An effort will be made to push this cure, which by the way is no new experiment. Dr. Clark has affected permanent cures of quite a number of chronic cases of rupture as has before been mentioned in these columns. The secret of its treatment was learned from a Chicago specialist at a great outlay of money. It has been thoroughly tested and not a failure has resulted. The formation of this company admits of it being pushed to the front, to the profit of those behind it and to the relief of those suffering from rupture of any kind, no matter of how long standing. The cure is reliable and can be recommended for anything claimed in its behalf. Following is the program of the township Sunday School convention to be held at Pleasant Grove U.

Obituary. Fannie Belle, daughter of John and Ida Hawk, was born at her late home on the state line, December 12. 1883. and died September 14; 1898, aged fourteen years, nine months and two days. She experienced religion and united with the Pleasant View Baptist church three years ago last winter in the pastorate of Rev. J. J. Willett. She had been in poor health for some time, but four weeks ago last Tuesday, August 16, she was taken down with typhoid fever. During the first part of her illness she did not seem to suffer. She lay quiet paying but little attention to anything about her. For the last few days, however she suffered greatly. She was conscious up to a few hours before she died, but for several days was unable to speak plainly so that it was almost impossible to understand what the said. Death came very peacefully Wednesday afternoon at a quarter past four. A mother and three sisters are left to mourn her early departure. An infant sister went home years ago, her father December 26, 1396, and her brother just six days before she did. She never knew in this world that her brother had gone. Many are she friends whose hearts are sad because this dear girl has left us, and deep is i the sympathy for this stricken family. She said she was going home. Oh, glorious rest, from sin and suffering forever free. The funeral services were held at the Mt. Tabor M. E. church Friday morning, Sept. 16, Pastor H. H. Smith preached on the text found in Hebrews 12:9, and Pastor Barton of the M. E. church assisted in the services, after which the lovely form was carried out into the churchyard and placed by the side of her father and brother in that beautiful cemetery. Stock Sale.
