FOR THE DEFENDANT.
Court Gives Decision In Case OF O'Cornor
vs.. Freeman et A.. Executors,

A decision for the defendant for costs
was rendered by Judge Douglas In the
case OF James II. OConnor against
James +. Freeman and others, executors
OF the will OF Charles III. Smith, deceased.
The plaintiff has brought suit to re-
cover legacy OF $3.50. which he claimed
under the clause OF tho will OF Charles
Smith. providing each OF tho house SER
wants and gardner $3.50 each
No regular gardner save Mr.. O'Connor
was employed on the estate OF the tes-
tator. no having been sent by Johnson
Brothers, gardeners and florists. who
cared for estates, and was paid by them.
This man having met the approval OF Mr.
Smith was required TO do the work reglI-
larly. and he claims he was the gardner
referred to and was entitled to the be-
quest.
The defendants urged that the words
OF the will are studiously restrictive that
employment necessarily Involves n con-
tractual relation such a. did not exist
between the plaintiff and testator, and
that the intermittent and irregular char
acter OF the plaintiffs services did not
satisfy the requirements of regularity
and continuity.
The latter argument the court sustained
az decisions on other similar cases were
In harmony with it.

TEACHERS

WHITwELL, Tenn, June 29.-(Spec-
ial)-The Marion County Teachers In
stitute, which has been in session at
Monteagle, Tenn, for the past two
weeks, closed Friday. The institute
Was one of the most, il not the most
thorough, ever held in Marion County.
The Superintendent Of Public Instruct
ION, Prof. d A. Tate, secured two Of
tho ablest instructors he could possibly
get, Prof. ]. II. Setliff, OF Chattanooga,
Tenn, and Prof. Frank M, Vancet, of
Fort Isenton, Montana. Itseemed the
instructors were rather tight, but it
was all the better for the teachers.
Ths attendance was the best we have
ever seen, almost every teacher in the
county being present the entire time.
Anumber were taken sick and had to
return home.
The institute was held in the High
School building where there was plen-
" Of room. The teachers did more

them. His lecture was masterful in its
logic; faultless In rhetoric. His strong
personality, and frank manly address
made many warm friends among the
teachers.
Capt. NJ. b. Pitcher, General Manager
OF the Monteagle Sunday School As
sembly, kindly consented to address the
teachers on last Monday. He was on
hand early, and led the devotional ex-
ercises, reading part Of one OF Paul's
Epistles, containing the words; 81 haYe
fought a good fight, / have finished my
course, have kept the faith" After
the devotional exercises the captain
addressed the institute taking for his
subject, paul, the Hero" His lam
guage was eloquent and impressive; his
voice strong and commanding. lie said
on the outset that next to the ministry
was teaching. He spoke Of the bravery
OF Lieut. Hobson, and his dSuntless
heroism. He described the battle of
100 days in detail telling several touch
ing incidents, and speaking words Of
praise for both sides. The captain is
an earnest, consecrated, christian gem
tleman, and showed from his address
that he was thoroughly familiar with
the Holy Scriptures.
On Thursday the question arose
whore the institute would be held next
year, a question which is left entirely
with the teachers. Year before last
they voted TO have it at Monteagle, and
last year at Monteagle they voted un-
animously to have it there again this
year. However, some became dlSsatis-
fed later and regretted having voted to
have it there, but it seems they were
nearly all in the same mind again this
year. For when the vote was taken for
ty teachers out of the forty-Seven pres
ent voted to have IL there again next
year. Prof. Tate voted against having
it there again next year as he did this.
