The object of this proceeding is
to procure a divorce A VINCULO
MATRIMONII by the Complain
ant, George Maude Pearre, from
the Defendant, Jason Dewey
Pearre.
The Bill of Complaint states, in
substance, that the Complainant is
resident of Montgomery County,
Maryland, where she has resided
for more than one year last past;
that the Defendant is a non-resi-
dent of the State of Maryland,
whose last known address was 81
Taylor Street, NV, c/o George
Pearre, Washington, DC; and
that the Complainant was married
to the Defendant on the 9Th day
of July, 1949, at Ellicott City, by
Rev. Herbert Payne, a regularly
ordained minister of the Gospel,
and that as a result of the said
marriage one child was born,
namely, Katrina Hope Pearre;
the Bill further alleges that since
the said marriage the Complainant
has always conducted herself as
kind, chaste, dutiful, faithful and
affectionate wife towards the said
Defendant, but, nevertheless, the
said Defendant did, on or about
the 25th day of March, 1851, with
out just cause or reason abandon
and desert your Complainant, de-
claring his intentions to live with
her no longer as husband and wife,
and the said abandonment was de-
liberate and final, and has contin-
ued uniterruptedly for more than
eighteen months since said date
and that the separation between
the parties to this cause is beyond
any hope or expectation of recon-
Citation. The Bill then prays that
the Complainant be divorced A
VINCULO MATRIMONII from
the Defendant, and that she may be
granted the care and custody of
the infant child in these proceed
ings mentioned, and for such other
relief as the nature of her case
may require.
1t is thereupon this 18th day of
June, 1858, by the Circuit Court
for Montgomery County, sitting as
a Court of Equity, ORDERED
that the Complainant give notice
to the said nonresident Defendant
of the object and substance of this
Bill of Complaint by causing a
copy of the same to be published
in the Montgomery County Sent.
incl once week for four success
sive weeks prior to the goth day
of July, 1858, commanding him to
be and appear in this Court in
person or by solicitor, on or before
the 18th day of August, 1868, and
show cause, if any he has, why a
Decree should not be passed as
prayed.

Trust Your Best Moods

Life has two temptations here
One is to make the mountain
vision last without ceasing We do
not want the glory to vanish in the
clead. But this is a temptation Not
even heaven is like that. There
viii be vision in heaven, more
glorious than any here; but there
viii be service too, and more faith.
full than any here. II there are any
beings whom God has destined Cor
vision only and not for service,
they are angels, not men
The opposite temptation is 70
stick at our work, never looking up
to see the stars; plodding In the
valley, too busy to climb the hills
Suppose the disciples had been too
busy to 90 up to the mountain top

They do not deceive you, if they
come in his company. Down in tho

may seem to have been only

Mountain; Valley
Lesson for January Is, 1883

GENERAL Braxton Bragg was a
~ Woodworking hrainy officer,
but there was one thing he would
not do. He would not climb a
mountain to look for himself One
of the generals in his command,
Nathan Bedford Forrest, had been
up. From the summit Of Lookout
Mountain, Forrest could see with
his own eyes what was going on,
he could see the enemy's move
ments and what IL would take to
stop them. He pleaded with Gen.
srai Bragg TO come and look too;
but In vain. General Bragg was
too busy, and so he missed an
opportunity that never came again.
