Supreme Court of North Carolina

AN AGREEMENT NOT TO ENGAGE
IN THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE
WITHIN A CERTAIN TERRITORY.
WITHOUT SPECIFYING ANY
TIME. IS VALID. SINCE 1T is TO
BE CONSTRUED TO BE FOR THE
LIFE OF THE PROMISOR.
A CONTRACT NOT TO ENGAGE IN
SUCH PRACTICE TN A. CERTAIN
TOWN AND THD TERRITORY
SURROUNDING. IS UNCERTAIN
AS TO THE TERRITORY AND
VOID AS TO IT, BUT VALID AS TO
THE TOWN.
This was an action for an injunction
| to prohibit defendant from practicing
medicine in the town OF Yadkinville and
surrounding territory, in pursuance OF
contract alleged to have been made
by defendant with plaintiff not to prac-
| tice in that territory:
The Court says.
There was an exception entered to the
judgment. which can be treated with
| the motion made here to dismiss the ac-
| ton because the complaint did not
state a cause of action-First, because
| the contract was too indefinite. and
| therefore void: and, second, because 1t
is in restraint of trade. contrary to pub
lie policy, and void.
This court has held such contracts
do not fall under the head of contracts
for the restraint of trade.
| 1t Is argued for the defendant that
this contract Is uncertain, beth as to
"a ,fl, t. ie,s
and as to the territory over which it
extends. AS to the uncertainty as to
time. this court has also held that
where no time is mentioned in such
contracts they are to endure during
the lifetime Of the grantor.
We are of the opinion. however that
the language of that part of the con-
tract which undertakes to restrain the
defendant from practicing medicine
outside the town of Yadkinville Is not
sufficiently definite to mark and define
any certain territory. The territory
surrounding Yadkinville-the language
OF the contract-is so uncertain as to
be incapable OF being marked out or be-
ing Identified. Such language does not
in law define n prescribed territory. We
know of no rule by which the territory
could be laid off. The two judges be-
low who heard that part of this case
oilrered as to what was meant by the
words, the territory surrounding Yad-
klnvilie." We have examined with care
the cases cited by the plaintiffs coun-
sci on this point, and we think they do
not sustain his contention. The limits
of the town OF Yadkinville, an incorpor-
ated town, as appears from the record,
are to be taken as well defined, and the
contract is not uncertain. so far as it
Restraints the defendant from practic-
ing medicine within It's limits. The
judgment must be modified so that the
defendant will be enjoined and restrain
eded during his life from pacticing
medicine within the corporate limits OF
the town Of Yadkinville. Modified and

NEW MILFORD.

A WELL KNOWN NEW MILFORD CITIZEN.
To see Isaac B. Bristol, a stranger
would not suspect that he was one OF
New Milford's wealthiest citizens, as he
is gentleman who cares little for style,
dresses plainly and drives about lO"klDg
after his various farms as If this was the
| only source of his income. But this out
door life and sensible manner Of living is
doubtless the secret of Mr. BrstOPs good
health, and while many men younger
than he stay in doors, sitting over fur
uaces and thinking of their aches and
Dams, MIR Bristol hustles ABOUT in the
open air, and doesn't have time to think
of physical disabilities, even If he had any.
The Biographical Review OF Litchfield
county, published in 1896, has this to say
Of MIR Bcistol: Hon Isaac B. Bristol, ex.
proprietor of the New England House,
the leading hotel of New Mi ford, Conn,
| and man who during his long residence
in town has been closely identified with
many other business enterprises, was
born in BroOkfield, Fairfield county, CT,
December u, 1921, son Of William B.
and Eliza (BaldwiL) Bristol. His father,
who was also 8 native of BrOokfield, was
born in the first year of the present CEN
fury. he owned a large farm and was
one OF the leading agriculturists and
most enterprlsing men of his day.
Isaac B. Bristol enjoyed not only the
privileges of the district schools of
BrookAeld, but he also attended success
lively the Quaker school In Duchess
county, New York, and the Newtown
Comm Academy. When he was Is
years old he obtained position as clerk
in a store at Brookdeld, and after stay
ing there year he returned to the farm
for a short time. His next years work
was as a clerk in Bridgeport. Having
by this time acquired practical knowl-
edge Of mercantile affairs, he now bought
his employers business and conducted it
for himself during the succeeding -
months, at the expiration of which he
sold out and was subsequently engaged
for year as a clerk in New Milford. His
next business venture was the purchase
of a half-interest in the lime kiln of S.
W. Stevens at Boardman Bridge. Fol
lowing that Mr. Bristol began to deal in
cattle and horses, and made frequent
trips to Canada in company with Eli F.
Booth to purchase horses, of which he is
an excellent Judge. 1t ia scarcely need
full to remark that he still takes pride in
keeping some fine horses for his oWn use
and enjoyment. He continued to engage
in that business at intervals for about 80
years, during which time he was employ
ed rs a clerk for a year, and likewise
gave much attention to buying aud sell
ing farms and other real estate.
He first settled on farm in New Mil

was member of tue Baptist church for
about 48 years. Mrs Marsh was q sister
to Homer Ingalls, of this place and Mrs
M. Perkins OF Chicago, who has been here
for the past thrae weeks assisting In the
care Of her sister, whose death resulted
from paralysis Of the brain and partial
paralysis OF the body. Mr. Marsh died q
year ago this month of dropsical affec-
ton, being confined to the house for five
years, the last three OF which ne suffered
great agony at times. During these
years, Mrs Marsh was constantly at the
bedside or chair of her husband to minis
ter to his wants and alleviate his suffer-
ings, sitting up in chair or lying down
on couch, to snatch few minutes rest
or slumber while the patient slept or
rested easy. After his death Mrs Marsh
seemed to have broken down and had
been in i'll health mora or less since.
Although assisted faithfully by her chill
dran, especially Nellie and Chauncey,
the strain was too much for Mrs Marsh.
Those out of town who attended the
funeral were Fl. Perkins, Mrs Kleuff II
and SOD, Guv, of Chicago, Frank Bald
win and j. E Barlow and mother of Kan
kakee.
