Another failure in the marriage line was
demonstrated in Judge Dfvorsall's court
yesterday, the high so cial standing of the
participants lending attractive color to the
proceedings. Mrs. Elizabeth E. Tosten was
granted an unco aditional divorce from her
husband, E. E. Whann, the ground being
incompatibility. Gossip says the real diff

Rountree then produced note which, he
said, had been put over the fence in his
yard the night before ne came to Savannah

Commissioner Gillespie told him he didn't
want him to swear to any lies, but he did
want the truth, and he would see that tho
"cue clux" didn't get him.
Rountree then said, 81 didn't altogether

The Postof1ce reports a Proof of In
creasing Business and Population.
The postoffice at Savannah is steadily and
continuously increasing Ia the volume OF
its business, and Postmaster Lamar informs
the MORNING NEWS that, although there
remain i've days before the close of the
month, the receipts of money and mail have
exceeded that # any month known to the
postal service of Savannah.
ITO what do you attribute this remarka-
bic lncreaseP Capt. Lamar was asked.
The postmaster said that there is but one
factor-incTeased population. With the in

had been stimulated, and, as the population
increased, the postottice Is the sensitive

fully records the cty's growth, as may be
seen by the building activity in the south
ern, southeastern AID southwestern sections
Of the city"
From the question of building Capt
Lamar drifted into the subject OF real
estate. Many affected not to understand
why lots in the southern part of the city
should be so high" and yet the prices
asked are no higher than the land 10 worth
for agricultural purposes, situated so near
the city where truck gardens are worth per
acre every dollar that is commanded for
the property after taking out streets and
lanes. The city, said Capt. Lamar, has
but three directions in which to ex-
tend its hmits-south. south vest and
southeast, and as he has watched
the growth in those directions, and
noted the Increased demand from those sec
tons for postal facilities, with the judgment
OF Scion he Gays that real es ate must ad-

the shape of lots are better investments

900 limit.
Abiding to the foundries of the city
Capt. Lamar says that IN the last year or

received an impetus and stimulus which
nothing but q steadily increasing popula-
ton could have given it.
