For Final Argument Next Mon
day Before Judge Faulkner.
From The World OF Wednesday.
The Circuit Court OF Berkeley coun-
ty, which has been in session since
the 10Th Of January, adjourned this
afternoon about four O'Clock. The
term was unusually short and a great
deal less than the ordinary amount
of business was transacted.
An interesting decision Was this
morning made by Judge Faulkner, but
IN which no order has yet been record
ed The case involved the question
as to wheteher a judgment entered in
the clerks Office by confession upon
what is known as a Judgment note"
Is valid in West Virginia. Some time
ago the A. Is. Farquhar & Co., CT York
Pa, sold Messrs. DeHaven a steam en-
gine outfit and had as Judgment
note, which on its face authorizes the
holders or any ag mt or attorney to APP
pear in the office of clerk of a court
OF record and confess judgement Such
a proceeding was had in the Office of
the Clerk of the Circuit Court Of this
county and execution was issued en-
the Judgment and property of the de-
PENDANTS levied on to satisfy the exc
cution. The DeHavens sought to have
the proceedings set aside claiming
THAT the laws OF West Virginia do not
recognize a judgement note, aud that
the judgment thereon rendered was in
valid
The matter was submitted to Judge
Faulkner and argued by Martin & Sci
bert attorneys for the Farquhar CO.
and by Noll and Boyd for the defend
arts.
The decision of the court held this
particular transaction as valid, and
the defendants, it is understood will
carry the case to the Court of APP
ueals

nany has fled at the present term of
the Circuit Court petition against Ira
w. Houck and George w. Houck, jr,
for condemnation of part of their
lands near the Opequol pumping sta
tion for the purpose Of laying addition
al track and other Improvements"
The last two words caused a spirited
argument between the attorneys in the
case. 1t is contended on the part of
the railroad company that the words
other improvements" mean the 1ec-
essary grading. etc, for the purpose of
laying such additional tracks as may
be necessary, while the attorneys for
the Houcks claim that the exact use
for which petitioners desire 20 take
additional land is not mentioned in
the petition. Having heard the argu-
tanned the demurrer made by the
Houcks and the plaintiff took leave TO
fila an amended petition.

DR.. Henderson at rs.

The Western Christian Advocate
published at Cincinnati. in its issue
of Sept. 6 has the following:
'Dr. Howard A. M. Henderson
celebrated his 18th birthday annivers-
airy on Tuesday, August Is. This
event was made the occasion for a
very pleasant gathering at the Park
Avenue Church at Hartwell, when a
large number of Doctor Henderson S
friends and admirers attended a recep-
ton in his honor given under the aug
pices of his church, CT which he is now
pastor emeritus, and which he served
for five years during his active minis
try. 1t was a delight to his friends
and former parishioners to give this
expression of the love and veneration
in which he is held. The whole con .
munity feels rich in possessing one of
such distinction, and the church cher
ishes the memory of his ninisty. While
Orr. Henderson is not in robust physiss
cal health, nevertheless when the
master of tHeartsease" is at home he
is the source of mental and spiritual
inpsiration to all who visit him there.
The reception was attended by the fol-
lowing ministers, who made felicitous
CPCSSnCS OuIlHS tuC CNCIius hC
Rev. Messrs. ]. L. Corley, L. o. Hart
man, w. H. Wehrly and j. T. Bail.
DR.. Henderson was happy and animate
in his response. Music was furnished
byR Mrs. G. l.. Swain, and refresh
@ents served by the young ladies CT
the church.
can interesting coincidence was the
presence of Mrs. Rev. Lewis, between
whose late husband, a Union soldier,
and DR.. Henderson friendship sprang
up while the former was a prisoner in
Confederate parole camp, of which
the latter had charge. Many mes
sages of congratulation and regret
were received from the many friends
of DR.. Henderson who could not be
present."
Rev. Henderson was born in this
city and was reared in Millersburg.
He will be remembered by many of
the older citizens of this city as brill
liant Methodist divine and formerly
served the State as Superintendent of
Public Instruction. At present he is
confined in Cincinnati hospital with
sreiOus illness.

FIELDS for Fall Footwear.
Bourbon County Crop Conditions

Impr owed conditions have followed
the fiattering agricultural outlook and
side by side as tobacco, corn and grass
has improved so has business channels
taken on active trading as was evil
denced by the Saturday afternoon
crowd that thronged the business dis
trict. Merchants report active trading
IN all lines and at no time of the
season has such feeling of confidence
prevailed.
Merchants are laying in large sup
plies of textile goods and in the pro-
duce line farmers are finding market
for everything at good prices.
Cattle and hogs are selling well Eup
with prices that prevailed one year
ago and the demand TO stock hogs and
good feeders has increased with i'm
proved conditions for good grazing.
Rye is being soWn in liberal quaint
ties and with grass spreading as 10
springtime, live stock will fare much
better than was indicated three weeks
ago when the earth was parched and
vegetation bIighted from a lack of
moisture.
But the season of drouth has been
forgotten so responsive has been the
touch of nature, and the push and the
energy of TIE blue grass tiller of the
soil has found fruition in having his
crops in shape for the psychological
moment as seen in the increased
growth of tobacco, corn and pasture.
= Thel business outlook is taking on
increased momentum and fall trading
Is as lively IS in many years is expect
ed to reward the patience of both far
mer and merchant.
