1homas Crouch, of the extreme
southeast corner Of Audrain, so miles
rom Mexico, and perhaps the oldest
lnhaoltant in the county. ma,le ns ;.
pleasant call last week. He was
born in Kentucky in 1910 and moved
to Missouri in 1922 and settled with
IN Z miles Of New London. Tn 1885
he married a Missouri lady and
moved to where he nov lives, which
vas then in Rails county. In 1887
Auorain county came into existence
and he found himself a resident of
the same and has been ever since.
He has killed deer, elk, bear, and
wolves where Mexico now rears its
youthful but enterprising church
spires and school towers. Judge
Morris and j. p. Clark were the
nrst men he became acquainted with
IN Audrain. He says Judge Morris
used to have a large pasture and in
vIted all country people to turn in
their horses and come to his house
for dinner when they came from dis
tant parts of the county. Mr..
Crouch claims there was more So
clablllty in those days. Mexico be-
gan to grow in 1929. Judge Nor
rls built the first house. Mr.. Turly
kept the first store, near where Judge
James Gillian now lives. Mr.. C.
vas very wealthy before the war but
lost about $500 900 worth eff negroes.
He raised ten children-fye girls
and five boys-and gave each one a
farm. Mr.. Crouch, besides being
an old citizen has been a very promi-
nent one. For 16 years he was a
Justice of the Peace aud has married
hundreds of couples; and for many
years a member Of the grand jury
and was found to be unfinching in his
duty. He is, to-day, a very young
looking man to be II years of age,
and we wish him many more pleas
ant anniversaries of his birth day.

&. & BIS for d~ressmakipg,
Gill va. Ferris

In the circuit court of this county
yesterday, after a hearing of both
parties by Hon. Elijah Robinson, the
Injunction granted sometime since
prohibiting e.. D. Ferris from prose.
cutting the hardware, agricultural,
stove and tin business In this city,
while I. NJ. and R. w. Gill carried if
on here, was made perpetual. Coun.
sci for the ellis: Forrist & Fry, Mac.
farlane & Trimble. For Ferris: W.
ii. IL. Russell, of St. Louis, John NJ.
Gordon, of Mexico. Notice was given
that a motion for q new trial would
be granted.
AS considerable interest has been
taken in the above controversy it
may not be amlss to glance at its
merits. In 1874 T. NJ. and r. W.
Gill purchased a stock of goods and
business from G.. D. Ferris and took
an obligation from him not to re-en-
gage in it while they Jointly prose-
cuted it. Ferris went to Centralia
and not succeeding there returned
and re-opened business similar to the
one sold, and the object of this quit
was TO prevent his continuing in it.
We can only give the substance of
the decision as we understood the
Hon. Judge Robinson. That gen.
tleman was understood to say SUBJ
stantially that as a general rule
courts did not favor such contracts
as the n sought to be enforced and
he would therefore copstrue it close
ly. Many reasons could be gwen
why such contracts should not be
made. Men were free, however, to
make them and when entered into
they ought to be enforced. A man
in a good business often thought
he could do better by removing to a
new place, but meeting with disap-
after such a contract as
the present one, it was no unusual
thing for him to return to his old res
idence and seek to avoid his contract
through technicalities. Such seems to
have been the case in this instance.
Richard Gill contemplated abandon
ing the business, and had he done So,
Ferris might have lawfully r~e-engaged
in it; but he did not carry out his
proclaimed intentions. The proof
shows that 7. NJ. and R. w. Gill have
prosecuted the business pur-
chased continuously since the contract
was made. The temporary injunction
this case is, therefore, made per-
Ferris will be restrained from
engaging in this or similar business
while the ellis continue to prosecute
t in Mexico.
