OLD MAN divorce
GAINING ON CUPID
Seyenty-Five Marion County
Couples Separate
During Year.

Hon. Daniel Cupil. the under
sized sprite with seraphic wings
who prances around sans clothing
and fires alleged painless darts
into defenseless couples, is appar-
emily tiring Of his Job. N
on the other hand, Marion
County, records show Danny's riv-53
all Old Man Divorce, is playing his
trad 8 with alacrity and finding
business splendid. ti lsss
s Although Cupid, during the last.
year in Marion County, claime5
five times as many victims as d-d
Divorce. there was such,sa notice
able falling off of blushing brides.
and busted bridegrooms that the
courthouse authorities became
alarmed 7f5
More than. .seventy-five couples
were unhitched by the way of div
orce court here last year, records
show. and almost that many more
divorce casee were started but
have not been completed yet.
While practically $50 couples were
getting divorced. only one couple
that had been divorced appealed
to the Marion County Circuit
Court. the divorce tribunal in this
county, to be again united as man,
and wife.
Gross neglect proved most popu-
lar as the reason for hooking the
family ice box and breaking up
usekeeping Extreme crue lty
ran a close second with many men
claiming that their wives treated
'em something fierce. Many or
the women plead with the is1dge to
do an Alex the Great and lop OF
the Gordon Knot Of matrimony on
the same grounds. 3
The late John Barleycorn was
named as correspondent n large
number Of cases. Forty-six women
were granted divorces from their
husbands and twenty-nine men
were granted divorces from their
wives.
On the other hand, June lived UP
to its reputatio as a good sales
man for credit furniture. A large
number of Marion County couples
felt the cosmic urge during that
month. February was the next best
month on Cupid's record, whi1a
Old Man Divorce makes his high
scores during the months when the
Circuit Court is in session.
During the year $40 were grant,
ed permits to wed, and during tbs
same time at least one-fourth OF
that number of couples who had
tired Of married life were petition-
ing the court to be released from
the bonds Of matrimony. 1t is true
that Cupid has the better of the
argument SO far, but Old Man.
Divorce is making rapid strides
and unless something is done to
stop his rush, IN a year or two be
will be running neck and neck with
his young rival.
