CABBAGE AND Kisses. A curious
divorce case is on the tapis in Harri,
son county. A wife who was greatly
in need of a mess of cabbage made a
"bargain and sale with II neighbOr,
trading three kisses for three heads of
cabbage. The irate husband accused
her of the act; she acknowledged the
circumstance, and added that she
thought she had made a good bargain.

the loss OF the kisses, but was fearful
that they indicated more than was ap-
