IMpoRTANr SUR DECIDED.
Colonel James Thornton's Will Held to
be Valid.

Colonel James ThorntonS VIII Held TO
be Valid.
In the Forty-fifth District court the
suit instituted by his son, James S.
Thornton, and his daughter, Mrs. Mary
Merriam to have the will of deceased
James 7. Thornton declared null and
void has been decided adversely to the
petitioners. The will being declared
valid. BY the will the five chill
dren of the late James 7.
Thornton are made equal sharers of the
property of the deceased, that is that
the children of the legatees shall inher-
it the estate not otherwise disposed of.
And in case of no children being born
to some of the heirs, then the portion to
the heirs childless the estate goes to
the children of the heirs named. The
judgment is against James S. Thorn
ton, and Mary Merriam and in favor
of the heneficiaries of the will. An
appeal has been taken, but the judg-
ment of the court seems well founded.
The particular beneficiaries are the
children of John J. and Bette Stevens
and the children of James S. Thornton.
The gist of the decision is that the will
of the late Jas. 7. Thornton is valid in
all its parts and can be enforced and
carried out. That the suit of the
plaintiff, James S. Thornton is not
brought in good faith for the purpose
of securing a construction of the will
nor for instruction to the executors as
to the manner of the execution Of the
trust and that the defendants Mary T.
Merriam and Frank d. Merriam have
not filed their cross bill in good faith
for that purpose, but in fact to contest
said will was unnecessary. The decree
is: That the plaintiff, James S.
Thornton takes nothing by his suit. and
that the defendants Mary T. Merriam
and Frank ID. Merriam recover nothing
by reason of their cross action and that
the guardian ad Item appointed herein
do have and recover the sum of one
thousand dollars to be taxed as costs
and that the executors out of the prop
erty of James T. Thornton, deceased,
pay all costs herein accrued and eX-
pended for all of which executor may
issue. This practically closes the legal
contention over the will of the late
James T. Thornton, a VIII drawn to
express the beneficent designs of the
deceased, bearing several munificent
gifts to charities. as well as providing
for immediate family and defendants.

1t does not pay to let cows get very
thin in flesh, for if they do both the
amount and quality of their milk will
be impaired for the ensuing year. An
old farmer once said that when grain,
and especially corn, was plenty and
cheap he could always look for profit
able butter yield from his dairy. There
is such a thing as feeding too heavily
with corn. thus fattening the COW and
decreasing her milk yield. No good
farmer is likely to make this mistake.
There are very few herds Of COWS which
cannot proftably be fed much more
grain than they now receive. 1t is for
this reason that we urge all farmers to
grow corn for home feeding. It will
be fed much more freely If grown on
the farm than II 1t has to be purchased.
