are to be held, or if no newspaper is published in such city or county,
then in a newspaper published in some convenient city or county, pro-
vided that, where the defendant has been personally served with a
summons to commence a suit for divorce and he or she or the plain-
tiff (1) shall thereafter become a non-resident, (2) or remove from
the county or city in which the suit is pending, if a resident thereof, or
in which he or she resided at the time of the institution of the suit, or
was served with process, without having filed with the clerk of the
court where the suit is pending a written statement of his or her in-
tended future place of residence, and a like statement of subsequent
changes of residence, (3) or when, after such written statement has
been filed with the clerk, notice shall have been served upon him or her,
at the last place of residence given in the written statement, according
to the provisions of sections sixty hundred and forty-one and sixty
hundred and forty-two; depositions may be taken, testimony heard
and orders and decrees entered without an order of publication as

party has an attorney of record in said suit, notice shall be served on
said attorney as provided by section sixty-two hundred and twenty-
nine.
