Divorces and Divorce Lawyers.
THAT OF ANY OTHEB
The scandalous ease with which di-
[ vorces have been obtained of late, and
"p A T)"p r> TEXAS. Itbe 8ecre®y with which the proceedings
x ^ ' ' are conducted—most of the applica-
tions being made in States or Terri
tories distant from the domiciles of the
persons most affected—have caused the
subject to be discussed by newspapers
and legislators in all its aspects. It
has been suggested as the only adequate
remedy for the evil that a national law
be adopted making proceedings for di
vnrce uniform in the States and Terri
tories, and so breaking up a system by
which obscure courts, suborned wit
nesses, and unscrupulous pettifog
gers may in certain cases virtually con-
trol one of the most vital interests and
most sacred relations in if* A. lady
correspondent of the KaW York
Graphic, a few days ago, Willi the pur

well, states the names and places of

rig'its without ha ving ti e same read and
explained to her, whether she has been
instructed in advance to say that she
understands it and it is all right, or not.
The law of April 30, 1846, requires the
officer taking the acknowledgment of
married women to ccrtify that he has
examined the woman privily and apart
from her husband and explained the
instrument fully to her, and an act of
the last Legislature, approved July 28,
1876, declares that any certificate of ac
knowledgment of any married woman
to any deed of conveyance, letter of
attorney or other written instrument
purporting to convey her separate
estate or her interest in the homestead,
shall show on its ' ace that the married
woman was examined by the officer

and apart from her husband,

Mr James, who pu'led nervously at lis

" Oh, we can manage that easily for you,'"
was the rea»sn ing reply of the poiised Mr

abruptly replied, "No; we employ women d -

IN OFFERING PLANTEES THE
GRIP TIE, the following advantages are
claimed f r it: simplicity of application,
greater - treng h bo'h of the Tie and of the
Band, close a-1 ju-.tment and freedom from slip,
which prevent any expansion of the bale, and
the impossibility of removing tne Band with-
out cutting it.
The award of the H ighest Premium by the
Texas State Fair to the GRIP TIE over the
Arrow and all other com pet-tors, is sim. ly an
indorsement of the opinion expressed by all
PI nters who h*ve used it, as can be shown
by letters and certiflca es in our possession.
Arrangements have b^en made for the man-
ufacture of Bands of sup rior quality, and in
suffii ient quantity to supply any demand, and
for the present thp price will be $2 50 per buu-
dle, of th.rty bands each
The recent reduction in the price of ties was
probably due to the c< mpetition of the GRIP
TIE, and as we offer a supe ior article at the
same price, we trust dealers and consumers
will recognize our claim to a fair share of pa-
tronage.
