An Interesting Case.

In the Circuit Court here in 1894,
VIM. Hartley, Of this place, sued his
son, Leslie Hartley, for $5, 0Oo, claiming
that Leslie had taken property Of his,
consisting of money and notes, and
converted it gradually into his own
name. The suit was to compel Les
lie to account to him for the money
and notes. Leslie Hartley claimed
that he had already accounted to his
father for all he owed him and had
given him money of his own besides.
In the trial of the case here Judge
Hughes found that Leslie owed his
father nothing.
VIM. Hartley then appealed the
case to the st. Louis Court of Appeals.
This court undertook to overthrow
Judge Hughes decision and ordered
Leslie Hartley to pay his father q
certain amount. Leslie claimed that
this court had not only decided wrong
fully but had no jurisdiction in the
case, ami prayed that the case be al
lowed to 60 to the Supreme Court for
final adjustment. This the Court OF
Appeals refused to do. Thereupon
Leslie Hartley applied to the Supreme
Court for a writ of mandamus to COM
pei the Court Of Appeals to transfer
the case to the Supreme Court. The
writ was allowed aud the case was
taken to the Supreme Court for Anal
hearing.
The case was argued and submitted
to the Supreme Court during last
January and upon this hearing the
Supreme Court has affirmed the de-
cision of Judge Hughes holding that
Leslie Hartley was not indebted to
his father. All parties to the suit re-
side here.
Leslie Hartley was represented all
through the cas- by George Robert
son, while VIM. Hartley's attorneys
were John M. Barker and W. W. Fry,

There is an old proverb that says:
Che that would have friends must
show himself friendly" The wise
man who gave expression to those
words evidently had in mind such
men as W. W. johnson, who is asking
the votes of the Democrats of Audrain
for County Collector. If the contest
depended on his neighbors altogether
where he Is best known, his election il
certain. His home, graced by his &C.
complished wife and two bright little
girls, is one of the sunny spots In
beautiful Audrain. II a neighbor
needs assistance or is in distress, Bill
Johnson is the first man to proffer aid.
He is a native of Audrain, and by hard
work and enterprise has done much
to build up her wealth and enhance
her prosperity. He has been a life
long Democrat and always votes the
ticket straight. II elected he will
give entire satisfaction to the people
OF Audrain.

Subscribe For Your Local Papers

Subscribe For Your Local Papers.
Colman's Rural World, in referring
to Hon. Walter Williams letter de-
clining to run for the Legislature, says:
"The advice of the Rural World to
its readers has always been, take a
metropolitan paper for general and
political news, daily, semi weekly,
edition; a farm paper for Information
or use in his business; such religious
and Juvenile publications as will meet
the needs of the family, and last, but
not least, ID best meeting the needs OF
all the household in all of their rela-
tions, the local newspaper. II but one
paper can be afforded, let that one be
the cleanest and best local paper pub
lished in the county. And in this con-
nection we append and commend to
our readers the following, also from
the pen of Mr.. Williams:
"One of the duties of the good citi-
zen is to subscribe for and read q
local newspaper. This lie true not
simply because it is the duty of a good
citizen to patronize home institutions
and not because the newspaper is q
special representative and champion
of the community, but because the
citizen will himself be directly profit
sd. The weekly newspaper, in the
news that it furnishes, the suggestions
that it makes, the advertisements that
it prints, the good, clean reading that
it supplies, ia worth far more than the
price of subscription. The married
man owes it to his family, and the
single man to himself to subscribe fol
g local newspaper. Reading it will
inform him, broaden his mind, enlarge
his sympathIes and un%consciously te
himself, perhaps, make him a better
