T. J. B. and M. G. Keller, are DESTROYS
of surrendering all of thir property

ing unable to pay them in due pro-
cess. and thus take advantage of the

port Lumber Co., are $22,95O of which
debts the secured claims are $4,000
and the unsecured claims are 1880.

Co., Hattiesburg and the First Nation
al Bank of Gulfport.

Lumber Co., has not been enabled to
weather the business depression,
hence took this action to satisfy its
creditors.
