Lawyer Gets Divorce

CARTERSVILLE, July 15.-Mrs
Betty r. Lyon was granted a divorce
from T. j. Lyon, a well known at
torney, Monday afternoon when
twelve divorce DEGREES were ordered
in Barlow Superior Court. Lyon Wig
orously fought the suit, denying his
wife's allegations, setting up counter
charges and pleading his own case. As
both are prominent people, there was
a crowded courtroom and much inter-
est was manifested.
The jury returned a verdict in ia
vor of Mrs. Lyon. Her grounds for a
divorce were drunkenness and cruel
treatment.

Atlanta Regiment to Return Wed
nesday-Fondly Remember
Visit Of Mrs. Slaton's Party,

ST. STMONS ISLAND. July 10
The boys of Atlanta's militia regi-
ment, the Fifth Infantry, Georgia Ma
tional Guard, encamped here. packed
ing in preparation for the annual
ss-country hike. Off1cially the hike
began shortly before noon and will
continue until Wednesday noon, when
the boys will return to St. Simon's
strike" camp, receive their pay and
start for home.
Tuesdays hike is the second big
feature of the camp within the last
three days following the visit of the
Governor and his party Saturday and
Sunday.
Saturday afternoon Mrs F. J. Pax
on, of Atlanta, member of Mrs. Sla-
toms party. fired the evening salute to
the Governor Following this rather
unusual proceeding, the boys present
ed Mrs. Paxon with the shell which
she had fired with an original poem
by the poet laureate of the Fifth.
Mrs. Slaton also received a shell
which she fired earlier in the day.
Both of the women are proud of the
souvenirs.
The boys still bark back to the big
dance Saturday night, in which hun
dreds of Brunswick's most beautiful
bellies participated. besides the mem
bers of Governor Slatons party.
In a measure the dance and the
good times served to cause the boys
to forget all the discomforts of camp
life. Thus far the hospital corps has
had nothing to do except treat sun
blistered backs.
Tuesdays hike, it is thought, will
put the boys in fine trim. They
didn't seem to mind the work one
bit when they left camp Tuesday
morning All were in high spirits,
apparently eager for the fray.
