Atlanta Becoming
Miniature Reno,

Atlanta, Ca, July II. Eighty
five divorces have just been grant
ed at one sitting by the Fulton
county superior court. Figures
covering the past couple OF years
show that the Atlanta courts grant
on an average of 80 divorces every
three months, or $50 divorces per
wear. more than one divorce every
day for community of only $780,
900 people.
However, it is shown that the
troubles which cause fully 40 per
cent Of the divorces originate out
side of Atlanta. In other words
Atlanta is becoming miniature
Reno. Over 40 per cent OF the
divorces which have been granted
since January 1st. 1912 are to
people who have lived IN Atlanta
only for the legal time necessary
to establish residence in divorce
proceedings, namely one year.
OF these people who come to
Atlanta apparently for special
purpose of getting their divorces
easily, the usual ground is simply
desertion. What il hides nobody
asks, as desertion is the simplest
of all grounds under the Georgia
law. The papers are served On
the defendant by publication"
and if he doesn't respond to the
publication, and it is the rarest
thing in the world that he does,
the way is Their open for the total
divorce without much further
evidence.
