Sold Her For a Quarter.

A good looking white woman, who says her name is Mrs. Frank Salter, went to Camilla, Ga., the other day, to find out her matrimonial status. Her story is an interesting one. Dp to ten days ago she was the wife of Martin Doolan, a well known turpentine operator. She and her husband quarreled over Salter, who was a boarder in their family, and the result was that Doolan sold his wife to Salter for 25 cents. The transfer was regularly made, and since then the woman has been living with Salter. She became uncertain about her matrimonial condition and went to town to consult lawyers. She says she thought the 25 cent transfer was a divorce.
