intact, facing the water approaches of

w. w. Mayes of near Thompson,
who is in his eighty-eighth year. has
sued his daughter. Mrs. Eliza Owens,
for $3.50, which he claims he loaned
her, to be returned when he requested
it, says the Columbia Herald.
Mrs. Givens acknowledges that the
money was paid to her to purchase a
tombstone and to meet her fathers
funeral expenses at his death. The
money was given to Mrs. Owens years
ago, and it was in gold. Recently Mrs
Givens bought monument for her
father for use when he should die,
paying $50 for it, and her father saw it
and approved Of the bargain. But
lately he changed his mind about the
matter, and the action was recently
taken into court. The jury awarded
plaintiff judgment in the amount of
$50, defendant to pay the costs.
