ty-one, chairman of the Galloway
County Republican Central committee
died in Fulton Monday, June 16. Un-
Gle Dick, as he was known to his
many friends, which included every

men in the Kingdom of Galloway.
While the writer was in school in
Fulton In the seventies Uncle Dick
was famous for his kindness to
ward the college boys and that has
been his disposition to-
ward everybody all his life. While
he was Republican he was not par

members of his own party. Durini

result in the most remarkable sue

that have been wet since Missouri
became state are without sa-
looms as result. Here they are:

DALE IS FRIENDLY AFFAIR.

The suit c. G. Ragsdale has filed
against his sons, DR.. George M. Rags
dale and Leslie Ragsdale,is a friendly
sffair and all parties interested are
agreed upon the course that VIII be
pursued in the event of verdict in
favor of the father. The title to
$50 acres OF very fine land in South
Fork Township and nice piece OF
residence property IN Paris Is In
volved. Although Mrs. Ragsdale held
deeds to it all her husband con
tends that he was the real purchaser.
that her only interest was the naked
title and that by mutual consent the
property was to be conveyed to him
whenever he should make such q re-
quest. His petition recites that her
action in bequeathing the real es-
tate to the two sons was In viola
ton OF this agreement and was
done without HIS knowledge or con
sent. Tho case viii be tried at the
Hume term Of Court Paris Appeal.
