tional Union Company by Which
the former sold TO the latter all
the stores aud agencies Of the
Order owned 10y it in Kentucky
on October l6, 1891. The plain.
tiff received therefor thirty sec.
ond debenture bonds Of $500 each.
The bonds were TO mature in thir.
~ years during which time semi.

PENDANT has sold nearly all Of it's
stores in Kentucky aud that it is
now preparing to remove from the
State without leaving enough
property TO satisfy the $4,000
which il owes 10 plaintiff. The

to be done with the assistance of
the Farmers and Laborers' Union,

company began business in Ken.
tucky a little over a year ago. Ii
established numerous stores over
