A LOVE THAT FAILED.
A Romantic Marriage That Results
in a Divorce Suit.
Several weeks ago the Advertiser
contained an account of a romantic mar¬
riage that took place in this city, the
bride being Miss Mattie Leola Bnice. of
Atlanta.
The man whom the young lady met
and married in haste has turned out to
be a villain, and the result is that Miss
Bnice is suing Mr. Fred Rowell for a total
divorce in the Atlanta courts.
It will be remembered that Rowell,
who is a young man hailing from Indiana
stopped over in this city for the purpose
of conducting a dancing class, and while
here met.Miss Buice, who was engaged
in organizing a local branch of the South
ern Library Association of Atlanta
Tlic two met and it was supposed to be a
case of love at first sight, and two days
after the meeting they were married.
Mr. and Mrs. Rowell after spending
several days in the city left for the
bride’s home in Atlanta. Only a few
days had elapsed before the love that was
supposed to exist between the couple
turned to mortal hatred and then the
young wife realized her dreadful mistake.
The pugnacious young fellow not only
treated his wife brutally but threatened
the life of her brother who attempted to
protect her,against her husband’s cruelty.
A divorce suit is pending in the courts
for the restoration of the youthful wife’s
maiden name, and for the hastily tied
knot to be untied. While here Rowell
was looked upon with some suspicion and
the announcement of his marriage to
Miss Buice created no little surprise.
Not to be Trifled With.
From Cincinnatti Gazette.
Will people never learn that a “cold”
is an accident to be dreaded, and tliat
when it occurs treatment should be
promptly applied? There is no knowing
where the trouble will end; and while
complete recovery is the rule, the excep¬

ands upon thousands of fatal illness oc.
cur every year ushered in by it little in¬
judicious exposeure and seemingly tri¬

to-day countless invalids who can trace

time of occurrence gave no concern, and
were therefore neglected.—Wlie troubled
