CARTERsvnLE, GA, Oct. 90.-William
o. Jones was yesterday granted divorce
from his wife, Ida. The story brought
out was that about year ago Jones was
one OF Miss Ida Gaston's admirers. One

They accused him of the betrayal OF Miss
CASTOR and ordered him to GO 10 heI
house and marry her The procession
started on its four mile walk, Jones head
being all the while covered with revoly-
ers. Arriving at the place, both Jones
ani the young lady denied the charge
but, nevertheless, by the persuation Of a
loaded revolver, they were compelled 70
marry. The party then marched the
couple back TO the home of the bride
goom's mother, placing them in the room
from which the bridegroom had been
dragged short while before, and leil
them. Jones refused 70 treat Miss
CASTOR as his wife, but sent her home al
