Permanent.

permanent.
Boonville, Mo-, August o.
Judge W. H.. Martin of the
Cooper County Circuit Court
gave his decision in the test
suit to decide the ownership
Of property which belonged 70
the Cum berland Presbyterian
Of Warrensburg prior 70 the
union OF the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church with the
Presbyterian church. The
plaintiffs to the SUIT we're
members of the WYrrensburg
church who favored the union
and who sought to enjoin the
defendants, who did not favor
the union, from using the
property.
This injunction, issued by
Judge Bradley. was TO be
made temporary until the de.
cision of the Cooper County
Circuit Court. To-day Judge
Martin declared the injunc-
tion permanent and declared,
ir his belief, that the union
was permitted by the consti
tuition of the Cum berland body
and that the property might
properly be transferred to the
com bined organization.
The property in question
was conveyed TO three per-
sons, trustees OF the Cum.

cation aud their successors in
Office. The plaintiffs assert
that they are the representa-
tives Of the organization nam

sert that they are members

ed the union.
The defendants, who belong
u that part OF the Warrens.
burg congregation which is
opposed to the union, main.
tain that the union was illegal
and that therefore IL carried
no weight In the transfer OF
property.
The court, 10 reaching his
decision, reviewed the history
Eof the Cumberland Presby.
terian Church from the time
of it's founding in 1910. Al
that time the Cumberland
followers maintained that thu
Westminster Confession o
Faith taught fatalism. II

that the Westminster Con
fession did not teach fatalism

Cotter < Co.'S. Daily Cotton Letter.
 New Orleans, La, Jan. 25.-Al- though futures in Liverpool were rather better than due, the falling off in the volume of spots. sales there caused adverse comment and impress sion on our side. This combined with anticipation of unfavorabie weekly statement to be published today was responsible for a lower opening of our markets and uneasiness follow ing. The belief that January shorts in actual cotton will cause stiff spot markets for the rest of the month checked selling.
 The into-sight for the week is of- ficially estimated at from 3S5,O0O to 395,0OO against 1S5,651 last year and 20O,05S in 1905. Recepits at interior towns continue heavy but shipments are heavier and stocks diminishing faster than last year.
 The spot market is steady. There is not much new demand but require ments for January keep up prices. Bad weather is somewhat interfering with business today.
