After being buried for nearly two
months from the public, there has
at last come to light a bill for di-
voree which was filed on November
: 11t-Is97, the divorce being granted

Every effort has been made to
keep this matter from the public.
The case was tried by Judge Gallo
way in chambers, and the decree
was held back for a while, in order
to throw those who were looking
for the proceedings off the scent.
1t has been known for the time
that Mr.. and Mrs. Casselberry have
3 been living apart, but the real seri-
business of the situation was never
appreciated until day or two ago.
The petition of Mr.. Casselberry is
as follows:
'sYour petitioner, ID. Casselberry, |
respectfully represents to your honor
that he and the defendant, Mamie
A. Casselberry, were married in

1t may be worth something to
know that the very best medicine
for restoring the tired out nervous
system to healthy vigor is Electric
Bitters. This medicine is purely
vegetable, acts by giving tone to
the nerve centres in the stomache,
gently stimulates the liver and
kidneys, and aids these organs in
throV ing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the ap-
petite, aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried
it as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for soc

"A Victim of Politics.

More fortunes are lost than made
infpolitics. Some old friends of the
late Senator Malone have united in
obtaining for his son, Butler Ma
hone, a consulship in Mexico. 1t
is not generally known that young
Malone found it necessary to APP
peal to some of his fathers former
associates in public life to get some
thing to do. He first tried railroad
employment. He was willing to
take a place as brakeman, for he
is not troubled with false pride.
Like his father, the son is of delicate
physique, and it was evident that he
was not equal to the work. When
the late Gen. Malone entered po-
litical life in Virginia he was, prob
ably, the richest man In Peters
burg. If not a millionaire, he was
well on the way to a fortune repre-
scented by seven figures. With great
energy he had taken hold of the
material restoration of the South,
and had identified himself with rail.
road construction, becoming pres
ident of one of the principal routes
to tidewater. After he left the
Democratic party of his state on the
debt issue and took the leadership
of an element Which for some years
was dominant in Virginia, his for
tune began to shrink. For a time
Gen. Malone was a wonderfully sue
cessfdT man in politics. But at the
close of his service in the Senate his
-state-had become Democratic and
he took up his residence in Washing
ton. His estate melted until 1T was
reduced to one large holding in this
city. Gen. Malone tried to sell
that large block to the governm ent
, for the site of a new public printing
house, and several times almost
succeeded. The Senate repeatedly
passed bill to buy the property,
but the House rejected it. Malone
died without realizing on this
property, and leaving it so heavily
incumbered that it went under the
hammer. The purchase price was
about $3.50, 900, a fraction of what
the government would have paid if
the Senate bill had passed. When
he died, Gen. Malone owed an &C
count of some thousands of dollars
at the hotel where he had lived for
several years. His son was left
to start in life with nothing more
than pluck. Had the elder Malone
esehewed politics and devoted his
splendid executive talents to rail
road building he would have been
one of the foremost men of the
South. Washington Letter to the

Obituary.

Mrs. Carrie Granger died Monday
morning, Jan. II, 1898. Her re-
mains were buried in the Walton
grave yard. Burial service was
conducted by Rev. w. III. Jordan.
Many sorrowing relatives and
friends were present to pay the last
sad rites. Mrs. Granger was the
daughter of J. w. and Sarah r..
McAnally. She was born in Mad
ison County, March 81, 1866, and
moved to the 14th district of Har-
deman County in 1871. She was
united in marriage to J. w.
Granger, Dec. q, 1888. She was
confined to her bed six weeks and
four days. Her sufferings were
great, but she bore them with pa,
thence. Often she said she was
willing to die, but she hated to
leave her little children. She unit
ed herself with the Missionary
Baptist Church at Ebenezer in
1887. She was a devoted member
and faithful attendant. She leaves
a husband and six children, a moth
er, two brothers and many other
relatives to mourn her loss.

The county court yesterday took the first
step toward the removal Of the insane from

a report as to the insane persons at the
poor farm. Politics has already crept into
tho movement. and it is said that not all
of the insane are to he sent to the asylum.
Under the pretext that some of the in
mates are able to work: they are to re-
main at the poor farm; The force of dep
utIes at the farm will be retained. All the
employees at the farm. from superintendent
down. are political appointments. The fit
ness of persons for the places has always
been considered secondary to their value
for political services in the localities from
which they are appointed. To retain a
sufficient number Of inmates to afford an
excuse for retaining the present force of
employees without stirring up public indig-
nation is a problem members of the court
committee recommended that al the insane
be sent TO aSyiumS.
