A Celebrated Case.

Judge Wear was on hand to open
court at the appointed hour last
Monday morning. But little else
has engaged the time of the court
this week except the celebrated
case of Mrs. M. L. McNeely, Tutrix,
vs.. ]. H. McNeely, Executor ct al.
This is q suit for the property of
Ludlow McNeely, deceased, valued
at about $4,000. The title to the
estate hinges upon the legitimacy
of the child in whose name the suit
is brought. A perfect avalanche
of testimony is being adduced, and
much of it is of an unsavory nature.
The attorneys for the plaintiff are
Capt j. G. White and Judge r. J.
Bowman, of Alexandria, while the
side of the defendant is managed
by District Attorney r. e. Milling
and Mr.. W. G. Roberts, and the
greatest vigilance is being shown
in the contest. Something like
forty or fifty witnesses have been
summoned in the case, and deposit
tons have been taken at New Or
leans, Mobile, and other distant
points. It is thought the case will
not only take up all of this week,
but also Monday of next week. Mr..
Joel L. Fletcher, of Natchitoches, q
skillful stenographer, has been
sworn in as deputy clerk, and he
takes down all the testimony, as
we'll as the lawyers questions.

THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN.
The Volunteer Committee accepted by the
18th National Convention to raise the money
necessary to join the National Council of Wo-
men, kept their pledge aud forwarded through
our National Treasurer the fee of 500. When
we voted to join the Council of Women we
neglected to elect delegate, for each society is
entitled TO one delegate, besides the President,
in the executive meetings | therefore nomi-
mated Mrs. Kate Brownlee Sherwood, and sent
her name to my Council.
She was unanimously elected delegate by
them, and represented our organization, with
your National President at the meeting held
in Philadelphia, May and 8. She will submit
the first report of delegate from the Woman's
Relief Corps to the executive meetings of the
National Council of Women since we have~5e-
come part of that body.
i believe we have entered a larger field OF
usefulness in uniting with the other organiZa-
tions of the Council; for we will bring to them
a knowledge of the work we are doing, which
will arouse a deeper sense Of gratitude to the
Union veterans of the civil war; and inspire by
our devotion to the principles of our Order more
of patriotism and love of country among the
women who are likely TO leave this duty to
historians rather than teach it. and live it as
becomes the American women to do. THE
Woman's Relief Corps has become an evangel
to the careless daughters of the land" for all of
