married life.
After the execution of the bond,
there were further domestic troubles
which finally resulted in a suit for
divorce, brought by Mr.. Kinsolving.
The divorce was granted by Judge
Fort, who has since become the at
torney for Mrs. Kinsolving, and for
her brought the suit to set the divorce
decree aside and force the payment of
the amount named in the bond

that his client had been imposed upon.
The trial of the divorce contention
will come before Judge Ranney at
later date.

near future to Miss Eleanore Wilder,
daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. A. Will
der.
Society has been discussing this Sc
cret for several weeks, but it only be-
came generally known yesterday.
While friends Of the young couple
were chatting over the engagement of
Mr.. Bender to Miss Wilder yesterday,
it was announced that DR.. F. D.
Rhodes and Miss Ruth Glenn were
planning to be married at very early
date. a..
These TWO couples have been seen in
each others society for many months,
but the young ladies had managed to
keep the secret confined to themselves
and their families until recently. Miss
Wilder confided to a chum and Miss
Glenn did likewise, and the result was
that it became publicly known before
they had an opportunity to issue we'd
ding invitations.
Martin G. Bender is one of the best
known young bankers in Southeast
Missouri. His bride-to-be is pretty, ac-
complished and social favorite. They

the Spanish beauty type. And like
Miss Wilder, she is a musician.
June, which comes to an end to-
day, has been a merry month for Gu
pid in this county. The marriage IL
censes for the month have surpassed
the number taken out last June, and
for the prominence of the couples to
either marry or announce their en-
gagements this month, this June has
never been excelled.

charming daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles w. Henderson of Jackson will
