AS to 4O-ACre Farms.

The Palmyra Herald makes a
good suggestion in the following,
worthy OF some consideration by
Audraiu county people:
Every forty acres within four
miles Of Palmyra can support a
family. We must have torty-acre
farms If our town j. to prosper.
Every business man in Palmyra is
vitally interested in the matter.
The subdivision OF our farms into
small ones would mean more Gus.
toners, more bank depositors, more
consumers, more business for our
mprrhauts-in fact it would make
Palmyra a far better town and
double or population in ten years.
Why not take steps to bring this
desirable result about.

That on the trial of the indict-

Comfy OF Dallas, in the State of

the defendants, in further pursu-

thereof, and did procure false and
fabricated testimony to be given
on behalf of the prosecution on
said trial, and did eXpend II large
amount of money on behalf of said
prosecution but. nevertheless,
plaintiff was, by the verdict of the
jury returned on the 2Sth day of
September 1908, acquitted of the
crime charged in said indictment
in due course of law, as by the rec

appears.
The plaintiff was not only by the
said defendants in the course of
their conspiracy and in further
ance Of its wicked ends and pur-
poses, arrested in the City of

Texas, and held in custody aud re-

months, during which time he
was largely occupied in trying to
defend himself against the evil de-
signs of the defendants against
him, and also, by reason and
means of the premises, the plain
tiff has been and is otherwise
greatly injured in credit and cir
cumstances, and, by reason OF the
matters aforesaide the plaintiff has
suffered damages i'll the sum OF

plaintiff shows that all the acts

said were wick edly and malicious
ly done, with knowledge on their
part that the charges which they
made against the plaintiff were
false and unfounded, aud there
fore, as an example to others and
for the proper punishment of the
defendants for their wicked de-

prays for fifty thousand dollars

Wherefore, plaintiff prays judg-
