Mrs. Abell's Bill Dismissed.-In the
Circuit Court here on Tuesday Judge Duncan
filed an opinion dismissing the bill for absolute
divorce filed by Mrs. Elizabeth Carroll Abel
against her husband, Charles s. Abel. He
says that there is not sufficient evidence pro-
duced in the case to sustain Mrs. Abells claim
for divorce on the ground Of abandonment.
The court says that it is admitted that Mr..
Abel has contributed the necessary means for
the support of his wife and children and the
plaintiff has not produced evidence legally
sufficient in support of her bill. Judge Dun
can also says that the only other witness in
the case besides Mrs. Abel was Mr.. George r.
being simply corroborative as to statements
made to him by both Mr.. and Mrs: Abel.
Messrs Marbury & Gosnell and Mr.. Osborne
l.. Yelott appeared for Mrs. Abel, and the
defendant was represented by Col. John I.
Morris.
On Wednesday the attorneys for Mrs. Abel
filed petition asking that the case be reopened
and additional testimony taken before the
examiner. Judge Duncan signed an order
granting the petition unless cause is shown to
the contrary.

Rayville, 9Th DISTRICT old Patron
Saint behaved himself so well last Sunday that
| little did we dream that he was only sleeping
and that he would turn up later. But 10 and
| behold, on Tuesday morning we ind him
| doing business with twofold energy.
Our county roads are almost impossible. It
| Is certainly time that the taxpayers awake to
| their interest and demand that something be-
sides throwing few shovelfuls of dirt in the
holes, shall be done. 1t was thought that
when we got law passed giving US roads
engineer that scientific road making would be
in order; but our present experience teaches
us that we are progressing along this line like
the crawfsh. We know that the money APP
propriated for road.making will not meet the
demands, but if those who know how to make
roads and those who are interested in making
good roads had this matter in charge we GER
tainly would experience better state of affairs.
