Trade. Insurance
The value of newspaper advertising'
does not consist merely in extending sales
and securing new business. It is worth just
as much in protecting and retaining business
already gained.
Progressive competitors are ever on the
alert to turn the tide of trade their way and
their effort" must be met and repulsed by
constant watchfulness.
The business entrenched in honorable
policy, backed up with sound methods and
protected by the modem guns of good ad
vertising holds its own against all attacks.
Don’t neglect the trade insurance that
nothing but good advertising can furnish.
Take out a policy make a contract with
this newspaper without delay.
If you need help in planning and pre
paring the advertising fortifications, call b
the assistance of the Massengale Advertis
ing Agency, of Atlanta, Ga. ~—

MARRIED MANY YEARS;
HUSBAND ASKS DIVORCE.
Ilnuinal Divorce Case Filed In the
Superior Court.
Libel for divorce has been filed by
Alford Stevens against his wife, Rosa
Stevens. The suit was filed yesterday
In the Superior Court and about the
case there are some facts which make
it rather unusual. Causeless and wilful
desertion are the grounds on which the
court Is asked to sever the marriage
ties.
The libel sets forth that the peti
tioner and his wife intermarried in
Liberty county in 1877. The marriage
relations moved along smoothly for
more than seventeen years, but In 1889
the defendant, the husband claims,
without cause or reason, deserted him
and took up her abode elsewhere. No
action was taken by him until yester
day, when, she having failed to return
to him after the passage of nearly six
teen years, he asks divorce.
Of the union three children were
born. All of them have reached legal
age, and all are married, and so no
action for their custody Is instituted.

when near the water and fell in. His
hands were in the pockets of his trou
sers and an empty sack was on his
arm when he was pulled out. He had
a daughter living in Savannah, and
will be taken there for burlaT.
