GOES TO NEW YORK.
Judge Frank |. Osborne to be Member

During the Summer and early Fall,

spent most Of his time in New York,
assisting his brother in his large law
practice, and it has been rumored for
some DAYS that he would go to New
York to practice law. Yesterday the
following note came announcing his
removal to the metropolis:
Twenty Seven William Street,
New York City.
''MessrS. James w. Osborne and Otto

& Hess, announce that Mr.. Thomas w.
Churchill and Mr. Francis /. Osborne
have this day become members OF
their firm, and that the firm name has
been changed to Osborne. Hess &
Churchill.
November Is, 1905.
Judge Osborne is easily one of the
ablest lawyers in North Carolina. He
has served the State as Solicitor. State
Senator, Attorney General and was
Judge of the United States Land Court.
In AL those positions he showed abil-
ity of the highest order. North Caro-
lima has had few lawyers in the past
decade who cqualled him in learning
and as an advocate. He will win n
high place in New York. for he will
meet few men of that great bar who
possess ability clear reasoning. knowl-
edge of men, and power of clear logic
