Another New Divorce Case.

Another new divoroe case has been filed in the circuit court, for the Ootober term. This one comes from the south end of the county, which is seldom far behind in marrying and unmarrying. Mrs. Acenath M. Ford is the plaintiff, and Lewis A. Ford, the defendant. They were married Nov. 24th 1896; and according to the complaint, the defendant wholly abandoned the plaintiff in Feb. 1898. Besides the abandonment she also charges that he wholly and totally failed to provide any support for herself and child. The latter is a girl and is now 16 months old, and of her the mother asks the custody.
