divorces can be obtained in Indiana may be
gathered from the following from the Winimac
Democrat: ..'
There is q married couple living in this
county whose matrimonial history is rather
unusual, The woman having been married four
times, and yet is living with her first husband
After sharing the home Of her first "worser
half few years, the wife got divorce from
husband No. l. and was married to husband
No. ,. In a little while she applied for, and
obtained divorce from husband No. 2, and
was married to husband No. 3. In the course
of time she became weary of her bonds, and
was divorced from husband No. 3. Then her
first love resumed its sway in her heart, and to
make amends for Ter seeming waywardness,
she sought out and again met husband No. ],
when they were the second time indssoluby
bound in the tender cords of wedlock, and are
now living happily and peacefully together,
