Damages of $50, 900, an account
ing in a land deal and the cancel
lation of notes aggregating $1,000
are asked for by Carroll York in a
suit against the Holiday Klots
Land and Lumber Co., of Green
vile, Nc. York says he entered in
to an agreement with the defendant
Aug. 1, 1906, to purchase about
$4,000 acres of land in Wayne
county, Missouri, giving in pay
ment notes secured by a deed of
trust on the property. He signed
a second set of notes, he says, for
$50, 900, that the first set was to be
returned to him, which he says
was never done. He says he sold
about 1000 acres of the land on
contracts, aggregating about S35,
900, part of which the company
collected but failed to credit on
the notes or give him credit for
the lumber it cut on the land.
st. Louis Times.
Mr.. A. Begley received the sad
news Monday morning that his
niece, Susan Spitzmiller, had COM
mitted suicide at her sisters home
in st. Louis, Sunday afternoon by
taking carbolic acid. The deoeas-
ed was the daughter of Mr.. M.
Spitzmiller and was born and rear
ed in the vicinity of Ironton. For
some time she has been making
her home in st. Louis and last Fri
day returned there after spending
a couple of months in Ironton.
No reason can be assigned for her
rash act save that she was tired of
life, as she had often stated, and
sought the rest of the Great I'm
known. The deceased was aged
20 years, four months and one day.
The remains were brought here
Tuesday and the funeral occurred
from the residence of Mr.. Begley
that afternoon at two o'clock. In
torment in K. P. Cemetery. Rest
in peace! The bereaved have the
sympathy of the community in
their sorrow.
