Governor Tabor has tailed to contrib
ute anything whatever towards her
support, and she has been compelled
to depend solely upon her own efforts;
that she has taken boarders and room

her investments were i'll advised and
bring in returns inadequate to enable
her to maintain the rank and station
which her husbands position and
great wealth would seem to demand.
She does not ask for a decree Of
