DECISION AGAINST HOME.

This demand was refused. the home
claiming the moneys should go to the
post fund under the rule cited The
executor resolved to test the validity
of the rule, and to that end brought a
suit which was heard in the Superior
Court Saturday. In to-day's decision
the court held the rule to be absolutely
void, it being directly in conflict with
the laws governing the disposition Of
estates CT decedents.
In the Veterans Home at Yountville
there are 500 or 500 inmates. and over
half Of this number are receiving pen
sions from the United States. AS this
decision affects all these pensioners

journment and after transaction of
such business as they had on hand,
accepted an invitation to meet with
the Brandon Chapter, United Daught-
ers of the Confederacy, in the court
house, where they were most courte-
ously received by the daughters, Miss
Bessie MeOaskill, acting president in
the absence of Mrs. Walker, who was
absent by reason of sickness. Miss
McCaskill welcomed the veterans in
short address, which was beautiful,
admirably delivered ard enthusiastic
ally applauded. After explaining
that the crosses of honor which they
had advertised to bestow had not
arrived, those who had applied there
for, were given bows of ribbon which
the daughters pinned on the lapel of
the coats of the grizzly old fellows,
who looked proud that they had
been deemed worthy to be thus hon
ored. They were assured that their
crosses would soon be forwarded to
them. 1t was beautiful and touch
ing scene, this tribute from our fair
daughters to those heroes of the Lost
Cause, and very highly did they ap
preciate it. Judge Albert Norrell
responded tor the veterans in his
usual eloquent stys. His speech was
frequently interrupted by applause
1t was happy effort. This part of
the programme being concluded, Miss
Mary White recited that grand poem
of Father Ryan, "Furl that Banner"
in a graceful and impressive manner,
which was loudly applauded.
Then the daughters announced that
it was theil purpose to build monu-
ment on the public square, and all
present were asked to contribute to
this very laudable undertaking.
Those present subscribed about 5000.
This was pretty good beginning;
they promise however to keep up
the work ana Will ask Inc news TO
open up column to them in fur
therance of their effort. The mon
ument should be built. 1t is now
in the proper hands, and this means
success. The monument will be to
those gallant men who enlisted in the
confederate service from Rankin coun-l
ty and every survivor, every descend
ant Of these heroes should help, as
we'll as every citizen Of the county.
ALI present at this meeting were
delighted with the graceful and ele-
CANT way the daughters entertained
them and were charmed with the
easy, dignified manner in which the
president pro tenn discharged the
duties enoumbent upon her. She
presided like veteran.
