Tlcer was di vorced f rom - Dorcas -C. Tkaer; Alice Hall f was divorced from Benjamin Hall, and Late A. McCrickard was di vorced from Valdella McCrickard. The latter case was. one of more than ordinary- Interest. It was more in the nature of an annulment of marriage than a divorce,, the ground upon which the action was brought being .that Mrs.. McCrickard's first husband is alive. It appears that a number of years ago, the woman's first hus band, who is named Elijah Hasten, de serted her, leaving a young, son for her to care for and rear. Tears passed and she got news that Hasten was dead. She believed this To be true, and when Lute McCrickard pressed his suit, she married him The son is grown to manhood, and last summer in Bouth Carolina he met his father Elijah Hasten, and told htm ' that his mother was marrifi again. The only way out of the dif ficulty was the annulment of the Ille gal marriage,' and this was done yes terday. THE LOUI8K COTTON MILLS.

In The Martian, Do Manner tells of iihe sort of food supplied at French jboarding schools, and by no means (Overrates its superior excellence. In no jflther country outside of France does jibe nutrition of growing youth receive higher consideration. If the meals served at schools thero be compared With those given at similar institativns iu England, the merit of the Freuch system will be apparent. The simple ;:flrst breakfast of coffee and rolls, tbo second consisting of bora d'eeavres, a dish of meat or fish, one vegetable, sal ad and a sweet, and the diuuor at 6 o'clock of similar coniiosition, witL e addition of soup, supply jnst trhat is needed to encourage mental effort and satisfy physical well being. In England an entirely different system is iu vogue. Breakfast r.t an English boarding school is a substantial meal, served at 7 o'clock. In most cases it consists of fish, bam or bacon, eggs and porridge three or four times a week, with plenty of milk and sngar. Dinner at 1 o'clock is a most solid repast, laok ing, however, in a sulSciancy of green vegetables. Supper at 6 o'clock is main ly farinaceous. It consists of tea, bread and butter. Dr. Savory, medical officer of Hsileybnry college, in England, iu a paper treating of this subject, says that it is the complaint of Euglish teachers that the work done trr schoolboys after dinner is not of much use. The doctor thinks that it is unfortu nate that they cannot have a half holi day every day to digest their dinner. He would also allow a gla.s cf mild beer. He found that about cue. boy 'in four drank two glaenes of it in summer. He thinks it auwiso to absolutely for bid alcohol, as a boy always craves that which is forbidden. At French board ing schools the pupils drink light claret mixed with water at every meal except the first, breakfast. The nutrition of French schoolboys is thoroughly adapt ed to their habits and environment. it. . The English in feeding theirs believe bulk in food as more conducive to di gestion and tbo demands of intense muscular effort exacted by the athletic exercises in wbich they indulge. New York Son.

Already many hundreds have been liberated from this demon credit, while thousands, more are u.archlng out from under the yoke of oppression by taking advantage of. our live cash values. You see, we buy our goods cheap for net spot cash, and sell them cheap. The field of credit disaster, the slaughter pens of the sheriffs and the auctioneer rooms are our prolific play grounds where we gather our unan swerable advertisements and knock down arguments. Bargains for to-day, bargains for to morrow and so on. W'.iy, we save the public thousands of dollars each year on Shoes and Clothing alone, to say nothing of the many hundred good values we offer in Dress Goods, Carpets, Linens, Dry Goods, Hosiery. Gloves, Corsets, Milli nery, Crockery and Glassware, and many other lines too numerous to men tion. - .
