CONTRACTS FILLED OR NO PAY.
An interesting Point In Law Deciding
Contract For Labor.

An interesting civil suit regarding
the responsibility of servant to master
was tried before Magistrate Cooper
last week. 1t was the case of Noah
Davis, farm hand, against John w.
Webb, his late employer. William
Penn Shockley ably defended the case
Tor Mr. Webb and won it.
Noah Davis had agreed to do certain
service for Mr.. Webb for one year.
Tor which he was toreceive stipulated
sum OF money. After only part of the
year has been served, Davis father
persuaded him to leave Mr.. Webb's
service. He than sued for wages due
up to that time.
The decision was that the servant
could not recover wages until the con-
tract had been fully performed. An
employe, therefore, takes all the risks
when he leaves an employer with his
work half done. -Detdwarean.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf,

this tube is infamed you have a rum

when it is entirely closed, Deafness
Is the result, and unless the inhamma-
