Supreme Court SustainS Decision Of
District Court in the Case of the
Fidelity Deposit Company vs.
NJ NanlaV
NJ. A. Neeley.

The many friends of M. A. Neeley
will be glad to learn that the supreme
court has sustained the action of the
district court in the case of the Fidel.
ity Deposit company against NJ. A.
Medley.
A brief statement of this case ap-
peared in the Journal few weeks ago
and 1t is with pleasure that we print
the following letter from Mr.. Neeley's
attorneys, relative to the case. Z.
The case is one in which the plaintiff
seeks to recover on bond furnished
Mr.. Medley while serving as sheriff in
Kentucky. Defendant claims that a
settlement had been made.
The case was brought up in the dis
trict court last fall, where a decision
was rendered in favor of defendant.
Plaintiff carried the case to the su-
preme court, where the decision of the
lower court was sustained.
Lake Charles, La, Feb. 2, 1909.
Mr.. M. A. Neeley,
Welsh, Louisiana.
Dear Sir: 1--WE are in receipt of
advice from the clerk of the supreme
court to the effect that the Judgment
in the suit of Fidelity & Deposit Co.
against you, was affirmed on yester.
day.
I'VE presume the plaintiff will ap-
ply for re-hearing, but from the
reading of the judgment. we do not
believe it will avail them anything;
therefore, we think so far as you are
concerned, the suit is thing of the
past. +" Very truly yours,
Mccoy, Moss & Knox.

Coffee Is such a secret worker that
1t is not suspected as the cause OF sick
ness or disease. but there is a very
sure way to find out the truth.
A lady In Memphis gives an inter
esting experience her husband had
with coffee. 1t seems that he had been
using it for some time and was an
invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the Worm

1t discontinued with instructions to
use Postum regularly in its place.
The wife says: I'VE found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have glad
ly paid a hundred times the amount
of the doctors charge when we found
how wise his judgment was.
1.-The use OF Postum instead OF cof-
fee was begun about a year ago. and
1t has made my husband strong. well
man. He has gained thirty-five pounds
in that time and his stomach and heart
troubles have all disappeared.

not boil it long enough and he said
there was something wrong with 1t.
Sure enough 1t did taste very fiat. but
