A hearing has been begun in Ben

Mrs. Mary a. Freeman of Richmond to
estate of Rev. A. j. Barron, late pas
tor of st. Francis DeSales church.
The action is taken as an appeal
from the ruling of the commissioners
of the estate not to allow the note, the

the commissioners. The church au-

on the books of the parish to show
that the late pastor received such an
