CHOIR  DIRECTOR
IS  GRANTED  DIVORCE  TODAY
----------

          Mrs. Bertha A. Curtis, who has been director of the choir at the Waldron M. E. church for the last year and in this capacity has become widely known in the Waldron section of the community, was today granted a divorce at Indianapolis from  James C. Curtis, an Indianapolis attorney.  Mrs. Curtis spent today in Waldron but could not be reached for a statement.  The charges in her complaint were that Mr. Curtis made a vigorous and profane criticism of her work in the church.  Mrs. Curtis has been very successful with her work at the Waldron church and has produced one of the best choirs in the county by her efforts.

          Rev. George L. Curtiss  who has so acceptably filled the pulpit of the M.E. church for the past three years, preached his farewell sermon last Sunday, and left Tuesday morning for Lawrenceburg to attend Conference.  Mr. Curtiss is one of the finest orators that ever graced any pupit, and his removal will be a loss to the congregation here, while the charge which will receive him can count themselves as complimented.
