An application for a preliminary in
junction made by James Randall, of
HaZelhurst, to restrain the Bradford
Glass Company from disposing of Its
plant to the American Window Glass
has been granted by Judge Morrison.
II is claimed that n contract with citi-
Zens of Hazelhurst bound the Bradford
Glass Company to conduct glass
manufacturing plant for stipulated
number of years in consideration of the
payment of $1,000 bonus. The contract,

Company from disposing of the prop
erty in the manner complained of. Tne
suit Will doubtless be very interesting
Hearing on the question is fixed for Oc-
tober next.
