c. A. BARNES GETS
COURT APPOINTMENT

Clarence A. Barnes, a leading at
torney of Mexico and Audrain County
and widely known over the State for
his ability as a lawyer, has received
an appointment as n of the commits
sioners of the st. Louis Court of APP
peals. Mr.. Barnes received notice of
his appointment Thursday evening.
There were three commissioners to
be appointed to these positions. The
offices were created by an act of the
last legislature and are for a four
year term. The St. Louis Court of
Appeals composed of Judges George
D. Reynolds, William H. Allen and
William Dee Becker made the ap-
pointments. These offices were crea-
ted on account of there being more
cases in the st. Louis court than any
others in the State and to give the
court an opportunity to clean up the
cases that have been longstanding. 1t
is thought that by the end of four
years with the assistance of these
commissioners, the court will be able
to have all of the old cases out of the
way and take are of the business that
comes before it in the future.
In speaking of his appointment Fri
day morning he informed the Ledger
that he did not know when he would
take up his new work but probably
sometime in October. He and his
family will move to St. Louis some
time within the near future.
