WOMAN \ CITIZEN HENCE SHE IS ELIGIBLE AS A NOTARY PUBLIC. Mooted Question Which Came Before Judge leathernan for Adjudi.
 cation.

Whether or not woman is eligible to the position of notary public is now one of the mooted issues in Arkansas. i Chancellor Leland Leatherman, of Hot Springs, has just overruled a motion to throw out dispositions taken
 before a woman notary, thereby de claring that in his estimation of the law she is not prohibited from holding the office. In support of his finding he showed that a woman may be ap- pointed postmaster although in the lit
 eral meaning the federal statutes says the office must he filled by a man. In many of the states they are eligible The custom of appointing female nota- ries was inaugurated by Gov. Jones who appointed large number all over the state. Attorney George w. Mur- phy soon after he came nto office de clared that the appointments were in- valid, his opinon being based upon the constitution, and against his personal inclination. He deplorcd the unjust discrimination and declared that for the gallant fame ef cur state, it ought to disappear. The last legislature to be on the safe side passed law legalizing the acts of all female notaries. but Gov. Davis has appoint. cd no more and the commissions of all will expire in 2 short time.
