WAS NO DECREE BY COURT
ChickaSawhatchee Church Matter Is
Pending Settlement Between
Parties at Interest.

The report of the Chickasaw-
hatchee church controversy in our
last issue was slightly premature, as
there had been no decree in the mat

South, which claims to own the
ground, has stated in its answer that
it never at any time had any inten-
ton of selling its cemetery or ap-
proaches to it. No decree has been
entered or orderd taken, but the
various parties are attempting to adj
just the matter on this basis. 1t is
the contention of the church that
they have the right to sell the land,
but that it has never been the pur-
pose to exclude or to sell the road
leading to the cemetery

The diamond is the only possession
on which time does not leave its

which helps the owner over the most
trying circumstance. But it is gen
orally the most priced keepsake,

entirely paved with the exception of
a few new places, recently erected,
