Bcinkley vs. Wheatley

On Wednesday evening the local boys met the Wheatley ball team on the Brinkley diamond and after a closely played game defeated the visitors. the score being 8-7. This is the second game our boys have played this season and is a crediable show ing, considering that they have had no practice. Their first game was against Cotton Plant last week. The Cotton Plant team has had considerable practice this season but the Brinkley boys made a very good showing for a team that had not had a ball in their hand this season.
 Wednesdays line up was:

Quite deal of interest has been manifested in the growing bananas at the ARGUS mans home. Two of the plants have bloomed and two punches of well formed bananas have re- suited. A cut worm cut off one of the punches after 35 or. 40 bananas had grown to 5 or 6 inches long on it. The other bunch is doing nicely and promises to mature. Nearly all of the fruit has been promised should it grow to maturity. The bearing plants are now three years old.

A Day at Holly Grove

On Thursday last the ARGus auto came in for use again, this time it was for a 60 mile trip down in the Holly Grove country and the same splendid crop prospects were in evidence every mile of the way.
 At Blackton a new store and government building" was be- ing built for the new post master, c. w. FerrilI.
 Heading for Holly Grove the route was down thro' the Park neighborhood.
 Among the farms passed, possibly the most attractive passed was that of J. E. Hix who has 225 acres four miles north of Holly Grove. He has 110 acres in cultivation. 70 acres in cotton, 10 acres in lespedeza and the balance in corn and feed stuff. Mir. Hix is one of the pioneer farmers in his section and his splendid appearing farm shows that he is a worker and that he farms with brain as vel as brawn. He has "a fine, new barn. his houses and fences are all up in apple pie" order and nicely white washed. He has about B head of fine cattle. has la bunch of mules and horses and lastly has a bunch of bright manly boys who are gracing the farm and working like grown men.
 Down at Holly Grove the ARGUS man enjoyed shaking hands with those clever busi ness men who have so kindly favored us with their patronage for the past many years. and several nice orders were taken The run from Holly Grove back home was over a different route. up thro' the Park settle ment by the Benton store where Munger Moody end Farmer Frank Henderson gave us oul 'loeging'' en route home. 0nt md . half miles north o1 Benton,s, Farsner Henderson

Another in the same issue of the ARGUS was for a lost mule, and this found the mule in one insertion.
 The work of the ARGUS in finding lost horses, mules. cat tie. lost watches, etc.. is remark able. During the time we have been specializing on this line of work. we have found nearly $9O, GOO.

FIVE LAWYERS DEAD
Cloth Case May Hang in Courts for YearS--3OO Lawyers have been
 Interested

The supreme court will take an entire year to consider just two features of the Cloth will case. It announced yesterday that no decision will be rendered until the April term, 1915. The two phases of the litigation were argued last week before the states highest tribunal.
 Two years ago when the estate of Mrs. Caroline Cloth commence ed to become enmeshed in litigation a distinguished Shelby County jurist remarked that with careful management the Cloth case would remain in the courts at least six years,
 By the time the supreme court decides. the jurist's pre- diction made in a spirit of humor will have been made good by half. There is a possibility of the waste of another year should the supreme court send it back to the court of civil appeals be- fore it can be again tried out in the local courts. Back in the local courts it will have to go to the appellate courts again.
 Practically every one of the 300 lawyers of Memphis have at one time or another been in- terested in the estate left by Mrs. Cloth. The hopes of most of them died after brief ex- animation of the claims of clients. At one time there were 21 lawyers in issues now pending before the courts.
 Five lawyers who were identi- fled with the. case have died.
 G. F. Chapline, one of the original legal representatives of F. B. Garrett, who produced a document known as the Claren- don will, and was beneficiary under it, died in Florida. He stuck a thorn in his ear.
 H. A. Parker, who claimed he wrote the Clarendon will for Mrs. Cloth. died at Clarendon, Ark, of an ear trouble.
 Frank Zimmerman, a Memphis attorney and representative of German heirs-at-law, has also followed Mrs. Cloth to the world beyond, as also has Judge John c. Sweeny. who represented Mrs. H. Rich and other claim ants. Percy Finlay, who filed a will known as the vacant pew will. but which was never offer ed for probate, is dead.
 Mrs. Cloth died on the night of June 9. 1912. She left an estate valued at $1, 1000. 900. Three distinct interests are con- tending for her estate. to-wit. the missing-page will, the Clar- endon will and the heirs-at-law, who contend that Mrs. Cloth died without a will.
 It charged that the Clarendon will is a forgery. The missing page will is incomplete.
 One of the phases now before the supreme court is as to the validity of the missing-page will, and the jurisdiction of the circuit court where it was tried and declared to have been Mrs. Cloths will.
 The other phase relates to a contract entered into between the heirs-at-law and the bene. ficiaries under the Clarendon will. These two interests enter ed into a signed contract agree ing to stand on the Clarendon will. One of the heirs-at-law afterwards made the charge that the will was a forgery and sought to repudiate the contract. The lower courts and the court of civil appeals held thai the parties were bound by the con tract. Commercial Appeal.
