SUIT COMPROMISED.
Before Testimony Closed The Case
of Murray Bros. VS.. L. c. Win
frey, Adm. Of Henry TOdd's
Estate Settled.
BEST FOR ALL PARTIES CONCERNED.

The suit of the Murray Brothres
against the administrator, l.. G. Win
frey, of the estate of the late Henry
Todd, took rather an unusual turn last
week The trial was in progress, the
witnesses on both sides examined. ex-
cept three for the defense, when a
compromise was perfected, the admins
traitor paying the plaintiffs three hun
dred and fifty dollars and the cost of
the suit.
The Murray brothers sued for tweve
hundred dollars, alleging that said sum
was due them for boarding and caring
for said Henry Todd and his horse for
eight or ten years before his death.
This was an unfortunate suit and
should not have gone to court, as all the
parties are closely related-and money
would have been saved if the compro-
mise had been brought about sooner.
If there has been any bitter feelings
on account of the action, we hope they
have been dismissed, and that the close
friendship that existed between all the
parties will continue as it did before
the suit was brought

ed mention. In an article of last week,
speaking of the closing of the meeting
at the Presbyterian church, we failed
to mention the delightful music, the
singing conducted by Miss Elizabeth
Holiday and the playing by Miss Alice
Walker, both of whom are very talent
ed young ladies. Miss Holiday has a
trained voice and as leader and time
keeper she ranks with the best of sing
ers, and her help during the services
was highly appreciated, not only by the
members of the Presbyterian Church
and its pastor, but by all who attended.
Miss Holiday was assisted by choir

also due. AS an organist, Miss Walker
is not tyro. She is skilled, sending

NO ELECTION.
So Judge Carter Decides in the
Breeding School Election
Contest.
A GREAT DEAL OF INTEREST WAS MANIFESTED.

Last year at the general school cleo
ton for trustees, A. K. Rupe and
j. w. Simpson were opposing candi-
dates in the Breeding precinct, No. "A
On the face of the returns Simpson was
elected, but Rupe claimed that he
(Simpson) received a number of illegal
votes, and upon fair count he (Rupe)
should have been given the certificate.
The case went before the County
School Superintendent, Miss Pearl
Hindman, and from her it went to the
circuit court, great many dispositions
having been taken on both sides. The
case came on for trial before Judge
Carter last Thursday forenoon, and late
Thursday night the dispositions had all
been read. Friday morning the lawyers
argued the points, and just before noon
the Judge decided that there was nc
election.
This was case where everything
went out and nothing came in.
We take 1t that another election viii
now be called, and more than likely
Messrs. Rupe and Simpson will agar
be candidates.

A QUIET WEDDING.
DR.. R. Y. Hindman, a Prominent
Physician, of this Place. and
Miss Laura IierrifOrd
Married.
CEREMONY AT PROFESSIONALLY HOME.

A very quiet wedding occurred at the
home of the brides parents, Judge and
Mrs. George Hereford, last Tuesday
evening at o'clock, when Miss Laura
Hereford was united in marriage to DR..
r. Y. Hindman, a well-known and pop.
ular physician, of this place. The GER
emory was beautifully pronounced by
Rev. J. w. Weldon, pastor of the Co.
lumbia Methodist Church. Only close
relatives and one or two intimate
friends were present. Immediately af-
ter the rites were solemnized the couple
left, driving to the residence of the
groom's father, Gov. ]. R. Hindman,
this city, where they will permanently
reside, and where they were given a
cordial greeting.
The groom is gentleman of sterling
character, physician of prominence,
possessing stern, though pleasing
disposition, popular with his brother
members of the profession, and at times
iovial and the life of his associates.
No better young man ever grew up in
Columbia, nor one who merited more
friends.
The bride was born and reared at
Burkesville, Cumberland county, re-
moving with her parents to this place
eight or ten years ago. She is young
woman of attractive personality. pos
sessing all the characteristics that go to
make up lovable character, devoted,
amiable companion.
That they may live long, missing the
hard knocks that often come to the ,hu-
man family, is the wish of The Adair
County News. and also their numerous
friends.

The February WOma MS Home Com.
paniOn.

The February Woman's Home Com
panion contains a remarkable short
story entitled "The Way" by Juliet
Wilbor TOmpkins. 1t is story that
has aroused a tremendous discussion
over the question as to how much of a
sacrifice one woman could or would
have the right to make for her friend
who is in trouble.
In the same number there are several
articles worthy of special comment
One, entitled The Open Market in
Des Moines'', is a report of a move
ment in Iowa which has already reduc-
ed the cost of living in several cities
and towns of that state and seems to
offer suggestion to many other COM
nunities. 1t is an article of universal
interest and importance. Another
valuable article in the February Com
panion is one entitled 1.-THE Girl With
A Voice" in which professional opera
singer gives a graphic account of the
long road that young women must trav-
ell who seek a musical career. 1t is an
article filled with facts about actual
cases. Other interesting articles in the
number are 1.-The Little Princess, a
character sketch of the only daughter
Of the Emperor of Germany: 1.-The Lost
Aphrodite of Knidos',; "Sweethearts
and Wives; THE Hea thy Baby. and
a sermon by Charles E. Jefferson, past
