4 CELEBRATED CAsE.--MARTINs-
BURG, Nov. 30.-Judge John Blair
Hoge has just delivered his opinion in
the celebrated case of Cam VS.. Cam,
from Morgan county, which has at
tracted so much attention. The facts
In the case are as follows:
In 1881 Jacob Cam died, his son.
Harrison, set up claim for services
for twenty years, and produced what
purported to be due bill from his
father, dated in 1880, for $4,000. The
suit was on this alleged note, and the
evidence showed that it had never
been delivered to Harrison Cam, but
had been found by him among his
fathers papers after the latter's death.
The court held that not having been
delivered the paper could have no
effect as note and rejected it from
the debts allowed by the commission.
er. Messrs. Faulkner & Ingles were
attorneys for the defendant and Faulk.
ner & Walker for the plaintiff.
Faulkner & Walker will take an an.
peal to the supreme court of the state.

winter and especially the cold snaps
horses should be carefully blanketed
while tied to hitching post, and the
merciful men will not neglect to do

this, and the farmers and all horse
owners who desire to have healthy
and strong animals will see that they
are properly sheltered and protected
from the frigid blasts of winter.
