Mrs. Edna Henderson,of Covington, is Allowed $33.33 Per Month for Her Support
  Judge L. S. Roan, of the Stone Mountain circuit, sitting in chambers at 
the Fulton Court House Saturday morning, signed an order which will prove
of more than passing interest to the people of Newton County and especially
Covington. He decreed that Mrs. Edna Henderson, a well known and highly
respected woman of Covington, shall receive $33.33 per month temporary
alimony from her husband, I. P. Henderson, whom she is now suing for a 
divorce. In addition, he awarded the woman's attorney fees in the amount
of $150 and restrained Henderson from encumbering or disposing of any of
his property, pending the final trial of the divorce and alimony proceedings.
Mrs. Henderson was represented by Attorneys Hewlett Hall and W. G. Post,
of Newnan and J. M. Pace, of Covington. Henderson made no defense.
  The case is particularly interesting on accounty of the prominence of 
the parties. Mr. Henderson has long been a citizen of Newton county living
at Covington. He is reputed to be well fixed, a conservative estimate of 
his wealth being $20,000.
  In her suit for divorce, Mrs. Henderson charges her spouse with cruel
treatment.- Atlanta Journal
