PAIIMEYER V. MEYER.
Court of Chancery Appeals of
Tennessee,
May 81, 1899.

May 81. 1899.
WHERE WIFE KNEW HER HUS-
BAND WAS APPLYING FOR A
LOAN AND WAS TO CONVEY HER
SEPARATE ESTATE TO SECURE.
IT. AND SHE MADE NO CLAIM
TO THE PROPERTY. SINE is
ESTOPPED AFTERWARDS TO
CLAIM IT.
The point decided is shown by the
opinion OF the court.
The court says:
We think there was no error COM
United by the chancellor in holding
that this property was not the separ-
ate property OF Mrs. Pahmeyer. We
feel constrained to hold that the ties
fmony of Mrs. Pahmeyer is of such
a nature as that a court could not base
any decree upon it. The testimony Of
Mr.. Pahmeyer in this case, in so far as
he gives any testimony, in many ma
terial particulars contradicts the tes-
tlmony of his wife. In addition to this.
At clearly appears. we think, from the
weight OF the evidence, that before
the loan was made to Mr.. Pahmeyer. to
secure which he mortgaGed this prop
erty' airs. Pahmeyer was cognzant of
ohe fact that he was applying for the
loan. and that this property was to
be conveyed to secure it. and that she
then made no claim to it. If this be
true. she is clearly estopper, under all
correct principles of equity. to assert
title to II as her separate property.
against the claim of the creditor who
foaned his money upon the faith of it
as security for its repayment.

A canvasslng committee OF three was

Rev. John II. Dickinson, of Emman-

OF some of his experiences in charitable

danger incurred by ndiscriminate CIV

thoroughly investigate n case before
giving what is asked. 1t is much bet

Notes Of Cases Recently Decided,

Our People.
BURNEY v. ALLEN.
supreme Court OF North Carolina
November %, 1899.

A TESTATOR MUST ACTUALLY
HAVE SEEN. OR BEEN IN POSI-
TIoN TO SEE, BOTH THE WIT
NESSES AND THE WILL AT THE
TIME THEY SIGNED 1T.
1T IS NOT NECESSARY FOR THE
TESTATOR TO REQUEST THE
WITNESSES TO SIGN, If SOME
OTHER PERSON DOES so, OR HE
lACQU1ESCES OR APPROVES IT
BY HIS CONDUCT.
The question in this case was as to
the proper execution of will by the
teStator.
The points decided will appear from
the opinion OF the Court.
The Court says:
We are of the opinion that there was
no error in the instruction Of his honor
which we have been considering, and
that the principle announced in Ora
ham V. Graham, supra, is the correct
one. The decedent must be in such
situation-such position-as will en-
able him, il he will look to see the pa
per writing which he has signed, as 1t
is being subscribed by the Witnesses
He must have the opportunity through
the evidence OF ocular observation, to
see the attestation OF the paper from
the position or situation in which he s
II he will look, and this so as to eX-
clude the almost impossibility of q sub
stitution >of the paper which he has
signed with another by some other per-
SON In the case before us, 1t does not
appear whether the dccedent was able
t0-turn his head to one side or not Two
OF the witnesses said that if he had
turned his head to one side, he could
have seen the paper. If he could have
done SO without risk or danger. or not
contrary to his physicians advice and
was OF tcstamcntary capacity (and
there is no proof before us to the con-
trary). then there was n compliance
with the statute in reference 10 the at
testation. But even if he was of tcsta-
mcntary capacity, and there was no
fraud or undue influence yet IL he was
unable to partly turn his head, so that
he might lock ana see the paper writ
Ing as 1t was being subscribed, the at
testation was not according to the re-
quiremcnts of the statute
The court further instructed the Jury
that the deceased must have actually
requested the witnesses to sign the pa
per writing us witnesses, and il the
jury should believe from the evidence
that he did not so request them. or
either of them. then the pancr writing
was not properly executed as n will,
and they should answer said issue.
No." We think the instruction was
given In language too broad, and that
1t was therefore erroneous There is
nothing in the statute Code. section
2l36) which requires that the dccedcnt
shall ask or request the witnesses to
subscribe: and We can see no reason
why the craftsman of the will. or any
other person, In the presence of the
testator, and with his acuuescence and
approval. and with II clear knowledge
of what is going on. should not make
the request OF the witnesses to sign The
script. Nor can we see any good reason
why the request should not he Implied
from the testator's conduct or well-un-
derstood signs. Such implied requests
have been frequently held by the courts
to be sufficient. Reversed.

Somebody very aptly rises to remark
what howl would go up II the news

as freely as many people criticise the
newspapers. Every issue of a live and
reputable newspaper is a mantle OF
charity, and the matter left out-truth,
not gossip for dames-would often more
than equal the matter published. II an
editor should get out some time cold

What inconsistent creatures we are!
None of us like the idea of growing old,
and yet we are anxious for the flight Of
time. When the day drags and seems
long, it worries us. The boy is eager
to be man. We complain of the short
ness of life, yet squander time as though
we had a million of years to live. The
young miss tries to look old and the
old maid makes frantic efforts to appear
young. Many people live in constant
misery, and add to all of the other woes
and misfortunes of life by thinking OF
the terrors of death. h.-Punxsutawney

We know that to say anything against
the use of tobacco we are tackling a
tender subject because there are so
many men that are fond of the weed,
and yet it is an unnecessary expense
and very injurious to those who use it.
One OF our out of town subscribers used
tobacco until his physician told him
that he must give up tobacco or die.
After hard struggle he finally decided
to quit using it. He is getting fat, get
ting better looking and is renewing his

recently that he was feeling hundred

Memorial Day morning looked un-

OF exercises prepared for the day, but
when the time arrived for the parade
to cemetery the rain had ceased and
the clouds disappeared. The day was
observed In the usual custom Mt Reyn-

not been that Phillips "Uncle Toms
Cabin" show was booked for Reynolds
Vile that day the old soldiers, s. of ",
+. o. S. of A. and Sunday schools would
not have marched to Beulah cemetery
to the music Of II brass band. II was
very appropriate for colored men to
furnish music for the soldier boys on
Decoration Day.
At Beulah cemetery the decoration
exercises were conducted In accordance
with the ritual of the Grand Army.
The graves of the soldiers in the other
cemeteries were not forgotten.
The Woman's Relief Corps served
dinner, supper, cake and ice cream In

The inclement weather marred the

in the Beechwoods, yet 1t did not put
damper on the loyalty and patriotism
Of the people Of that section, and the
program was carried out as advertised.
The crowd was not as large this year
as 1t has been in former years, but those
who did attend were well satisfied with
the entire exercises. G. G. Benscoter
and Rev. S. NJ Gordon, Of Brookville,
were the imported speakers. Prof J.
