Athens Banner: An old gentleman from
Banks county informs US of a rather singu-
lar marriage, divorce and remarriage of an
old couple In this county some years ago.
There lived near Homer quiet gentleman
of Scotch descent and strict Presbyterian.
This gentleman and his wife seemed to live
happily together and reared several chill
dren, who were grown at the time the sepa-
ration took place. One day while some of
the neighbors were visiting the family
something was said about one of the chill
dren's not favoring the balance of
the family. This caused the trouble
and the separation. After the visitors
had left the argument was kept up
between husband and wife, and the more
they talked the further apart they went.
They at last agreed to live under the same
roof but never to speak TO each other under
any circumstances. None of the neighbors
knew of the disturbance, and both would
sit at the table and entertain their friends.
and no one could detect that there was any
thing wrong. This went on for twelve
long years, and at last the husband brought
the matter before some Of his brethren in
the church and they advised a reconcilia-
ton and a remarriage, which was done,
and the old couple travelled down life's hill
pleasantly until they reached the end.
