Henry win Rejected.

County Judge Ct. A. McCor-
mick rejected Monday the paper
offered as the last will of ESQ. j.
W. Henry, holding its provisions
to be inconsistent and Indicating a
lack of testamentary capacity
upon the part of Esq. Henry at
the time he wrote the same. In
the writing offered, the decedent
undertook to dispose of his inter-
est In the j. f. Henry farm,
which he claimed to own by con-
tract with said j. f. Henry. This,
the latter denies; an appeal to the
Circuit Court has been taken and
the case will he a bitterly fought
one.
Before Judge Mccormick no
testimony was introduced upon
the question of the testator's men
tai capacity, it being limited to
proof of the execution of the writ
ing offered and the courts decision
was based upon the provisions of
the writing alone.

Montgomery County Wins Old
Tax Case In Court of Ap-
peaIs.

Menefee county must pay Its
part of the debt contracted by
Montgomery county for railroad
bonds issued by the latter county
when what is now part of Meme
r-fee county was part OF Mont
! gomery. The Court of Appeals
reversed the judgment of the
Menefee Circuit Court in the case
of Montgomery county and others,
and directs that Menefee county
levy tax to pay the bonds. The
action in the court below was by
Montgomery county to enforce a
compromise agreement entered
into between Montgomery and
Menefee counties for the payment
of railroad bonds issued in 1853
for tie Lexington C Big Sandy
railroad. Montgomery county ask
elfor mandamus to compel tax
levy to pay interest. In the court
below the petition was dismissed.
A part of Menefee county was
taken from Montgomery county
after the issue of bonds and the
court says h a t Montgomery
rcounty had a right to manage and
control the debt for all the terri
tory it controlled at the time of
the bond issue. The court says
that the action is binding on Meme
fee county and therefore the latter
must make tax levy on its citi-
zens to pay its part of the interest.
The burden will fall on what is
known as Slate precinct and will
work a great hardship on the citi-
zens living there, most of whom
are comparatively poor people.
The compromise agreement, inter-
est and costs amount to over six
thousand dollars, we are informed.
In the lower court the case was
tried by Special Judge ID. B. Red
wine, of Jackson, Ky.

Talk TWenty-fOur.

Bear this in mind: There is nothing
in an Insurance policy but you should
read with meditative care. That is,
: there is nothing in one which it's safe
for you to buy that cannot be scru.
tinized thoroughly!
That is Hoffman's home base. That's
the point he starts from. Yon remember
how particular Shylock was about the
exact wording of the bond? But there
was a contingency he overlooked. 1t
was pointed out to him. His bond called
for pound of flesh, but it did not entitie
him to draw drop of blood in the TAX
ing of it..
There's many and many an insurance
bond a good deal like Shylock 's-shy
The purchaser of it never discovers it be-
cause he doesn't read it, But the policy
issued by the State Mutual of Massachu-
sets is as plain as an open book. A boy
could understand it. It has no twists, or
quirks; no hidden meanings, no overt
motives. no afterclaps
You ought to read one! After you've
done so, take it, or leave it. But read it..
It's the bone and marrow of honest Life
You can learn more about
the real object of Life Insurance by read
ing one of the policies Hoffman will
show you than by any other means.
