whose connection with several defunct

en- up his citizenship in Georgia. Il pay
my taxes and vote in Atlanta" said he,
land that ought to settle the question
of my citizenship. I consider this city
my home. The fact that 1 was away from
here for a few weeks ought not TO make
me a nonresident" The suit of Charles
hunnette against ID. h. LiVermOre was
argued before Judge j. H. Lumpkin in
chambers to-day by Messrs. Hunt & Co
lightly for the plaintiff and Messrs Temp
kins & Aston for the defendant. Runnette
sought to enjoin Livermore from obtaining
judgment on a $500 note in the city court
of Atlanta. He claimed that Livermore
made contract with him to purchase a
number of the shares of the Fidelity Bank
ing and Trust Company at 800 a share and
has refused to take them now that the
stock is considered worthless. Liver.
more's reply to these charges was that he
loaned the s., 500 to Runnette in good faith
and without the stpulations which the
latter charges. After hearing all the evi.
dence and listening to the argument a de.
cision was rendered in favor of Livermore
and the injunction was denied.
