Selma, Nov 25.--(Special Correspond

of the Nelson battery, is minus a wife
this morning.
About eighteen months ago this young
artillerynan led to the altar one of the
comellest looking girls that lives on Fac

and with laughing eyes and a row of
white teeth that made the young mans
heart &C rit-apat when he went to see
her
This young maiden had another lover,
but the young artilleryman succeeded in
winning her hand and heart, and about
eighteen months ago led her to the altar,
and to the outside world he seemed as
happy as happy could be.
The muther-in-law of the happy young
husband came TO live with him and FROM
that moment there was discord in the
household,
week or two ago the young husband
intercepted some letters from her form
er lover and he knew that his wife was
playing him false and he took every pre-
caution to catch the scoundrel that would
thus break UP his domestic happiness.
But the betrayer of this mans happi-
ness knew his man. He had heard Of
his killing one man and pumping anoth-

his devilment by mail instead of in per-
son.
Yesterday morning the young wife and
her mother bought tickets and boarded
a train out of Selma, bound for some
town in South Carolina, where the form
er lover lives.
The young artilleryman is to be con-
graduated that he has gotten rid of his
wife. When a woman wants to act as
The has done il is best to let her go and
the husband marry some good woman
who will love him for his own sake and
