FIGHT OVER A WILL

An interesting suit has been in
stituted in Davidson county to de-
termine the true intent of the will
of the late S. A. Cecil. The will
was dated June Is, 1884 and pro-
bated about two years later, follow
ing the death of MIR. Cecil. Last
month Mrs. Nancy Cecil, the widow
died, and Immediately contlover-
sy arose over the matter among ii G.
heirs. Among the other property
owned by deceased is the Main
Street store building here, occupied
by R. l. Loflin. undertaken, and valu-
ed at about SIS. 900, and which three
of the heirs claim belongs to them
by the wording of the will, the others
having no share in it. Some in
teresting constructions have been
placed on the true intent and mean
ing of the will as executed by Mr..
Cecil and the case will be watched
with interest, no doubt bringing out
many fine points Of law, written,
and unwritten, SO complex is the
phraseology and terms of this last
will and testament.

We Want to Know
FIRES ARE EXPENSIVE

The fire department was called
into action Friday evening due to a
small blaze in D. S. Leaks back lot
on Hamilton street. Some rubbish
was being burned preparatory to
making garden when the fence aud
chicken coop caught on fire. Chief
Ingram warns the people to be "a
little more careful as such fires
sometimes cause great contiagra-
tons, just like a match in the hands
of a careless boy started big hre
at Nashville last month. Every
time the fire department is called
out by an alarm of fire it costs the
city about $25 in fees to say moth
ine of the wear and tear of the gas
wagons and equipment.

officers in Greensboro recently,
climbing down the drainage pipes of

ROTTEN TO THE CORE

Society is rotten as it can be and
there seems to be little hope for
-betterment' said a pious church
member to the editor last week:
''The people are going to the devil
as fast as they can and the chuich
should sound warning against its
members (both men and Women)
gambling, dancing and doing other
worldly things" continued our caller.
why if it keeps up at this pace
where will it end. The churches
several years ago condemned dane
ing and card playing among its mem
bers. Can it now afford to keep
silent and be consistent? What's
the cause? Society! And its rotten
to the core" concluded our visitor.
You are hitting pretty close to
the mark, friend, we seem to be up
against it.
