MT. Kesee is there. He will see you. Mir. Kesee came in on the 3 o'clock train that day. Oracle saw him and told him that any arrangements he could make with the bank would be acceptable to him, but that he would not accept a draft on Short & Go. Mr. Kesee claimed that he could not make arrangements to pay for the cotton on that day. Oracle told him that he was willing to carry out the trade at any reasonable time and that fl he would get his bank to wire him that they had mailed him New York exchange for the amount of the invoice of his cotton he would accept the same in payment That was March 11th, Oracle gave him until II o'clock the next day to hear from his bank The next morning Grac.e received a telegram from the First National Bank, of Helena, say ing: We mail you today exchange for SIS, 636 in payment of cotton sold Kesee. On Thursday, the l4th, not having received or heard further of the exchange, after 1 o'clock, Oracle wired the plaintiffs: "Ex- change has not been received. Trade is off. I will not wait longer for payment for cotton. 7 This tele- gram was sent sixteen days after the sale. On March 15th, nineteen hours after the trade had been declared off, Kesee met Oracle and rendered him paper purporting to be exchange made to his order for the cotton
 The instructions given by the court were all that the plaintiffs could desire, but the jury, after be ing out only a few minutes, returned verdict in favor of the defendant.

Closing Exercises.

For seventeen years Jordan $ Academy for boys has been one of the noble institutions of which Pine Bluff is proud, and has been favor ably known far beyond the limits of the city. When nearly q year ago it's distinguished founder was called to the head of the State Department of Education, considerable anxiety was manifested as to who would succeed him as principal of his acad- emy.
 Prof W. II. Ramsey came to us a stranger, but with high testimonials Of his scholarship, ability and chris tian character, which he has sus- tained during his residence with US.
 On Friday, the 30th ult., he com pleted his first years work, which has been, as we learn, entirely satis- factory to his patrons, which is all that need be said. The regular school hour. Before this hour the parents and friends of the pupils gathered i'll until the hall was full. Promptly at Il o'clock Prof. Ramsey announced that be had few weeks ago offered silver medal, respectively, for the best and next best Reclamation, in a free for all, contest at the close of school, and that the contest would at once begin.
 He then introduced thecontestants in the following order:

sued in equity, and not at law.
 The opinion of the court is voluminous, consisting of thirty pages Of typewritten matter, and giving an exhaustive review of the whole case. The original title was incomplete and defective, and the certificates of the surveyor locating the tract is indefinite.
 The other two suits were those of Florancc NJ. Farmer vs. the Home Mutural Life Association. The court found for the plaintiff for the policy in the amount of $l0,000. and interest at the rate of 6 per cent, from date of Farmers death. The last case was that of the Receiver of the First National Bank of Little Rock vs. the Directors of the bank. '~his case is one in which S. k. Cock Till, as Receiver, brought action to recover damages which he claims the bank sustained by reason Of the of the negligence of the Directors.
 The court held that the case is cognizable in equity; whether the forfeiture of q banks character is d condition precedent to suit against its directors, he could not consider; the bill is open to the objection oi uncertainty. Therefore the first and second grounds of the demurrer are overruled, and the third sustained. In regard to the fourth the court held that it could not be justly de termined until uncertain allegations are made certain Demurrer is over. ruled and plaintiff given till June l. to file amended complaint.

VERDICT FOR DEFENDANT.
A Suit Decided That Is of Interest to All
 Cotton Men.

For the past two days the atten tion of the Jefferson Circuit Court has been taken up with a case which is unusually interesting on account of it's importance to cotton men,
 It was damage suit for s, ,000 Ebrought by Short 6s Co.,, of New Orleans, against John NJ. Oracle. of this county, on the grounds that he violated a. contract and refused to turn over 788 bales of cotton after agreeing to do so for a stipulated price. The testimony adduced at the trial is about as follows
 About the 23ra of February, 1895, Oracle received letter from Short X Co, saying they understood that he had cotton which he wanted to sell, and asked what he would take for it. Oracle wrote them that the ptice on that day was 5.8c, and that he had 783 bales of cotton. A few days later Oracle met a MT. Kesee, who claimed to be an agent for Short 6c Co.,, who made him an offer of 919 for the cotton on the river bank, stating that his firm had boat in the river at that time to take out another lot of cotton they had purchased and they would take the cotton within from four to twelve days The cotton was to be paid for 0y draft with bill of lading attached. MT. Kesee made Oracle a written offer at that price, and on these con ditions he accepted it, and he said to Kesee: Now, understand, this mat ter don't stand open indefinitely. The cotton is to be moved in a reasonable time for such transac- tion, meaning not to exceed ten days. They were to notify Oracle from Helena three or four days in advance of the time to haul the cot ton out. Oracle waited ten days and received no notice to haul the cotton to the river. Oracle then came to Pine Bluff and wired the plaintiffs, asking them when they would take up the cotton, and they wired him that they hoped to have the boat there in few days. He made inquiries and found that he could not insure the cotton on the boat they were going to ship by. He then wired tae plaintiffs that he could not insure the cotton if not shipped on the regular packet. They wired him that they would satisfy him in regard to insurance. Oracle waited until the 1sth of March, and on that day, not hearing anything from Short < Co.,, Oracle wired them You must deposit in the Bank oi Pine Bhsff to my credit be- fore 3 p. m., today, SIS, 705, in pay ment of 790 bales of cotton, or trade is of. In reply to this telegram Oracle received one saying: ''Our
