The thrcshing and saw mill case Of
Bowman 4 Boyer vs.. james d. Neel
ct. al. that was tried in the Scotland
county circuit court some months
ago and Great .d considerable general
interest, was taken to the St Louis
Court of Appeals, where the case was
sent back to the lower courts for a
new trial. This is only one Of the
many cases sent back from the higher
courts to the lower ones that had
been passed upon by Ben +. Turner's
mills. These errors have been so
common that WHEN case is started,
it is expected to reach the higher
courts before settlement. Especially
is this considered so if one Of the
parties is strong political friend Of
Turner's-the other side having to
take the case to the higher courts to
get iu tee This feeling with liti-
giants make large costs 10 them and
the counties of this judicial district.

caused many to advocate paving the
main thoroughfarcs of Memphis.
Considerable of the past few months
the streets have been almost ilnpas-
sible and it does seem that some
move could be made to remedy the
trouble. Why would it not be the
proper thing to call a meeting ant,
discuss this question? Committees
could there be appointed to investi-
gate the question, and then after
their report, ii thought best, we be-
lieve all would unite to push the
enterprise to successful termination.
