Through the courtesy of Judge
Clayton we had the pleasure of
reading a copy of the Monroe
Democrat" of the date August
9th, 1850. The paper was pub
lished by ]. r. Smith and edited
by w. D. Chapman. 1t was in
Ilts eighth year. It's motto was.
Free minds, free hearts, free
ssouls, are the materials, and the
Ionly materials out of which free
governments are constructed. !"
Aswas the custom in those
#days the editorials were the
main feature of the paper. The
e !itor, in the issue referred to,
had an editorial endorsing the
Female Collegiate Institute,
sthe principal of which was Rev.
TX. S. Gladney. The editor was
surging the citizens of Aberdeen to
Support the institution and asks
this question, What is it that
Sprevents our having as good a
school here as at Columbus, Hol-
q Springs, or even Columbia,
sTenn?"
D Another strong editorial urges
he establishment there of male
high school.
4 The stage coach in those days
carried the mails. There was a
route from Tuscumbia via Aber-
kdeen to Columbus and the mail
days were Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays. A mail from
Pontotoc to Aberdeen was deliv-
ared on the same day. The mail
rom Aberdeen ta Houston and
from Eastport to Aberdeen and

#ieen three times each week.
gfhe arrivals and departures of
he mails were published by j. D.

ertisement he announced his
sffice hours as follows: Office

HETTY GREEN ESTATE
TAX NOW IN DOUBT
Recent Decision May Affect New
YOrk'S Claim.

A decision recently rendered by
Egerton L. Winthrop, referee in pro-
ceedings that have been pending for
five years in the Surrogstes' Court,
may have a bearing upon the admins
tration of the estate Of Hetty Green
if an effort is made by New York State
to collect an inheritance tax. Mrs.
Green described herself as a resident.
Of Vermont, where no tax is imposed
il the estate passes from parent to
children.
By Mr.. Winthrop's decision Mrs. Max
Flatauer, who is working in a factory
in Florida for S5 a week, will inherit
about $4,000. Her husband died in
New York in 1911. He had been in the
city, at the home of his sister, Mrs.
Henrietta Loser, only ten days, yet in
his will, drawn the day before his
death, he was described as a resident
of New York. His will left nothing 20
his widow.
Under a Florida law, which provides
that if Florida residents will is un-
satisfactory TO his widow, she may file
a certificate TO that effect and becOme
entitled to one-half the gross estate,
Mrs. Flatauer brought action.
Maurice b. Blumenthal. counsel for
the widow, showed that although
Flatauer had written TO his sister that
he intended to make his home with her,
he told his wife, after sending the let
ter, that he would come back to Flor
ida Mr.. Winthrop decided that
Flatauer had not changed his residence
and that the Florida law should be rec
ognzed. 1t was decided by the Court
of Appeals that the case should be dis
posed of by the New York Surrogate.
