July, 1882, in the state of Missouri,
she was lawfully married to the defend
ant, and continued to live with defend
ant as his wife from and after said
date until the = day of October, 1886;
that during all that time plaintiff faith
fully demeaned herself and discharged
all her duties as the wife of defendant,
and at all times treated him with kind
ness and affection; but said defendant,
wholly disregardlng his duties as the
husband of plaintiff for the space of
one year next before the said = day
of October, 1886, had been addicted
to habitual drunkenness.
Plaintiff states that she is now resi-
dent of Linz county, Missouri, and has
resided within said state of Missouri
one whole year, and more, next before
the filing of this petition.
Wherefore, plaintiff prays to be di-
vorced from the bonds of matrimony

ant, and for such further orders and
judgments touching the premises as to
the court shall seem meet and proper.

The people Of Gloucester and adj
iacent counties are now, il would
seem. very much alive 10 the
,rnnortsnce Of railroad that
shall put them in direct communication
with Richmond. As already mentioned
TWO elections have been held in the eoun-
w of Gloucester to obtain an expression
from the people on the proposition to sub
scribe 20 tho stock of the road. Both the
elections, however. went by default be-
cause OF the lack Of the necessary NUM-
her OF votes to decide the question either
way, and it has now been decided TO hoid
a third election at the regular congress

The Middlesex and Mathews Herald
saws that 1t has been suggested that me
people Of those two counties hold an
election on the same day for the same
purpose. but it was decided best TO wall

would vote However. our contemporary
serves notice on the Gloucester people
that n they 90 not want the road ana
will not take the lead in securing IT, Mlo-
slesex and Mathews will then take the
Initiative. 1t expresses its confident be-
lief that there will be railroad from
Richmond TO Chesapeake Bay and thal'

nile of Gloucester will be apt TO regret
their course. If they fail to vote for the

ileve that this proposed road VIII oe OF

will be properly romunerated for the
amount that it will cost them, provided
always they see that the money voted
Is fairly ana juoiciously spent 1t has
been the waste and loss of money so
voted that has hitherto caused the dis
