Advance: c. II. Chambliss, formerly OF
this city, is the defendant in a divorce
suit. Chambliss was married to Miss
Fannie Rixey, OF Mexico, in 1891. 1t seems
that In this case marriage was a failure.
In the petition Mrs. Chambliss charges
Chambliss with "brutal and inhumane
treatment of herself and child" She also
charges him with non-support and pawn
ing her household property.
In another column will be found the
announcement OF Mr.. Lewis Neale for the
Off e OF justice Of the peace for Lexington
township. Mr.. Neale Ia a time, tried demo-
crat, who counts his friends by the num-
Der Of his acquaintances. Honest and
conscientious, should he be elected he
will render equitable decisions uron all
matters brought before him. He asks his
election at the hands of the democratic
party,
The board OF directors, OF the Morrison
Wentworth bank, met Wednesday o
ing, for the purpose of filling the position
left vacant by the death of Mr.. Morrison.
Mr.. John q. Worthingtou was elected
cashier, w. J.. Bandon book keeper, and
John Morrison, assistant book-keeper.
The change was perfectly satisfactory to
Mr.. John Morrison. Mr.. Worthington,
the new cashier is well known to all the
ed collector Of this county. and Old Lafay-
cite never. had a better officer. In bust
ness circles he stands we'll, and his cleo
tion will be we'll received by both his and
the bank friends. The Morrison Went
worth bank Is one Of the most substan-
tial institutions IN the state, and with as
capable officers its continued prosperity
Is assured.
During the recent campaign for the
nos Office In this city, some n filed
charges at Washington, that Rev. T.. M
Cobb, should he be successful, was moi
physically able to get to the Office and
attend 70 It's duties, and that he was q
rich man with large income. Mr.. Cobl
received this Information from a congress
man from another state, and other friend'
in Washington who stated that this wa
all that defeated him. The charges wer'
filed to late too answer them. Any o n
who knows any thing about the past con
test knows that Mr.. Cobb was n formida
BILE candidate. who had friends at the cap
itol who were doing all they could In hi
> behalf. The Intelligencer does not pre-
tend to know who filed the charges, bu
should 1t ever find out. the party shall b
held up to the light OF an honor lovinI
community that he may be branded wit
contempt which his merits deserve. Tn
y charges are as false as the heart OF tn
man who made them is black, and an
man who knows Rev. Mr.. Cobb will bea
testimony to their falsity. We have n
better men than Mr.. Cobb. The worl
' does not produce them, and while W
: were neither for nor against him, W
y voice the sentiments of a legion in &C
cording to him all the qualification
necessary to the fulGllment OF the dutie
Of any office, in the gift of the presiden
or people.
