THE U. s. Supreme Court last
week handed down decision
which knocks out the validity of a
million divorces, more or less. 1t
holds that the divorce must be OBJ
tanned in the State having juris-
diction of the offense under which
the action is brought. If mar
ried person 60 to another State of
easy statute merely for the pur-
pose of gaining divorce, the de-
cree is void as to the other party
and will not stand outside the
jurisdiction of the court granting
it. The decision makes a furry in
circles not entitled to much SYM
pathy.

that assurance was given that every

man who says Iron county's vote

safely be counted for the Demo-

LOVES DREAM BATTERED
Marriage of Pretty Mercedes
Gufiy is Annulled.
Girl and Parents Formerly Lived

Married when she was seventeen
years of age, and too young to real
ize the responsibilities of a wife,
pretty Mercedes Guffy, formerly Of
Owensboro, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. d. Guffy. Oklahoma City,
Okla. has been freed of her matri-

1t is said that the wedding cere-
mony was performed without the
knowledge, or the consent of the
young woman's parents.
Soon after plighting their trotf
the young couple moved to Fort
Smith, Ark. The rugged realities Of
life it is said, soon shattered the 70

bride returned to her home at Okla
homa City. Hightower moved from
Fort Smith to Nashville. Tenn.
where he continued to work as /;

NEEL NOT GUILTY
OF the Charge of Making False
Entries on the Books of the
Stanley Bank.

After less than one hours delib-
GRAFTON, following a trial covering
a whole week, the jury returned a
verdict in the Daviess Circuit Court
last Thursday, acquitting Estil w.
Neel of the charge of making false
entrieson the books of the Stanley
Deposit Bank.
The verdict appeared to be what
many of the people in the Court
House desired. When the clerk
read the verdict several people cheer
ed. Neel sprang to his feet and
shook hands with the jurors. He
then went to the telephone, called
his wife and told her of the verdict
of acquittal. Judge Bradburn went
Immediately to the long distance
telephone and notified Neel's peo-
pie at Morgantown.
There is still an indictment against
Neel on the charge of embezzlement.
There is a question as to whether
or not the indictment for making
false entries bars the Indictment for
'embezzlement.
Neel. who halls from Morgan
town, was instrumental in organic
ing the Stanley Deposit Bank in
1902 and upon its organization be-
came its cashier and while acting in
that capacity he was alleged to have
msde the false entries.
Neel is young man of excellent
parentage and is Ia brilliant fellow,
His many friends will be pleased to
know of his acquittal of this seri-
Gus charge.

EQUITY TOBACCO SOLD
All Remaining of 1904 Crop
Cj Disposed Of
And Deal NOW Pending For
Entire 1905 Crop at Fancy e.
Prices.

All of the 1904 crop Of tobacco held
by the American Society of Equity
in the Green River district, 772 hogs
heads, has been sold. the American
Tobacco Company being the pur-
chaser. The deal was recently clos
ed between the Louisville Ware
house Company, acting as agent OF
the A. S. of E., and John Engelhard.
representative of the American To-
bacco Company. The exact price is
not known, the Equity people de-
clining, just at this time. to give
out the price. Mr.. Engelhard stated
that he purchased last week l,5o0
kogsheads at an average price OF
$3.50. 1t is probable that the price
paid for the Equity tobacco was
somewhat in excess of the general
average.
Equity people are pleased with
the sale. The tobacco Of the 1904
crop was not Of very high grade,
and many of the growers having
holdings in the pool did not expect
as good a price as was obtained.
The tobacco sold was put up at
Whitesville. Hawesville, Calhoon
Sacramento. Hartford and Clover
port and included the entire hold
ings in 1904 tobacco in the five coun-
ties composing the Green River
District. The total amount Of
money received for the 772 hogs
heads will reach the neighborhood
of 100000. At $3.50 a hundred the
the total would be sS6,940.
The money will be distributed
among the growers as soon as pos
sible, but there will be some una
voidable delays. The tobacco will
Nnot be reweighed and billed out un-
til after the holidays. and it will
probably be ten days thereafter be-
fore the money can be gotten ready
for distribution.
It is understood that the price
received for the tobacco is more than
81 on the hundred better than the
price which last years committee
at one time considered taking. 1t
is more than many growers having
tobacco in the pool expected. The
1904 crop was put up late and some
of it was damaged. The sale is en-
tirely satisfactory. 20
The pooling committees are now
ready to begin selling 1905 tobacco.
Deals are pending at fancy prices,
and it is expected that within ten
days lot of 1905 tobacco will be
sold. There has been a great deal
of discussion concerning the Louis
will Tobacco Warehause Company
in its relation with the equity people,
but, acting under instructions from
As district committee, they have
shown ability in selling. They got
more for the 1904 crop of tobacco
than was expected, the many, condi-
tions and type considered. Out of
the 772 hogshead only fifty hogs
heads were reported damaged, and
those not through the fault of the
rehandlers, but from the fact that
the tobacco was not put up until the
early spring. Those hogsheads that
were considered damaged were sold
for more than 81 in excess of the
price paid for tobacco of the same
type sold a year ago.
