CHANGE COMPANIES

Mr.. II. G. Hoffman, who for the
past fifteen years has been the hus-
Ting State Agent for the State Mu-
tual Life Assurance Company, has
severed his connection with that
company and has secured the agen-
cy for the Pacific Mutual, one of
the largest companies now doing
business in the United States, and
will continue to occupy his present
quarters in this city. The State
Mutual had decided to move its
main Office to Louisville and as Mr..
Hoffman did not care to go there to
reside he resigned.
Mr.. r. l.. Coleman, who has been
associated with Mr.. Hoffman for
nearly ten years will open up a
branch Office at Ashland, but will
continue TO reside here. We under
stand that the State Mutual will not
have representative in this city
but will transact all business from
its Louisville office.

HENRY CASE SETTLED

The Henry land case involving
the title to about thirty thousand
dollars worth of property was set
tied in the Circuit Court here last
Tuesday evening. The case involv-
ed 296 acres of land, hing on
Aaron's Run and claimed to be the
property of j. W. and j. +. Henry.
The deed showed same to belong to
j. E. Henry, but the allegation was
made that he held same only by
contract and that the real title
was vested in J. w. Henry. Both
Claimants are dead and the suit
was brought by the heirs Of j. w.
Henry. Judge Young held how
ever, that the land belonged to the
heirs of j. E. Henry. The case
will more than likely bes taken to
the Court of Appeals.
