WILL SET ASIDE
IN $4,000 ESTATE
TESTATRIX ADJUDGED
OF UNSOUND MIND
Heirs of Late Louisa Carston En-
gage in Heated Legal Battle
Many Listen as Family Quarrels
Are Aired.

No court case has attracted more
people and been followed with keen
er interest in Medina in long time
than the one which began on Tuesday
OF last week and came to close on
Monday afternoon of this week.
The case was that in which Mrs,
May Arnold of Medina brought suit
to have set aside the last will and
testament of her deceased mother, the
late Louisa Carston of Lafayette
township, who sdied, on February Of
this year.
AS stated in the Sentinel last week,
Mrs. Carston in her will devised her
entire estate, excepting the sum OF $50
each to her grandchildren, equally be-
tween her three sons, Arthur, Alvah
and Carl, eliminating the daughter,
Mrs. Arnold, from the enjoyment Of.
any part of the estate, which is esti-
mated at about $4,000.
1t was the contention of the plaintiff
that the mother was mentally incompe
tent at the time she made the will. In
support of this contention great
many witnesses were summoned,
among them three physicians who had
attended Mrs. Carston at various times
in the last years of her life, and a
| majority of whom testified as to vari-
Gus peculiarities and eccentricities OF
the deceased and giving as their OPP
inion that she was not Of sound mind
at the time her will was executed,
August %, 1919.
The privacy of the family home and
circle was invaded to its depth during
the progress of the trial, disclosing a
bitter enmity which had been held by
the mother against the daughter and
which hostility was likewise entertain
ed toward her by her brothers.
A significant feature of the trial and
one which is generally believed to
have exerted the greatest influence ov.
er the jurors when they came to de-
liberation was that no motive was in.
troduced by the defense to explain the
hostility OF the mother toward tht
daughter, other than that the daugh.
i ter had frequently taken her rllothei
| to task for alleged cruel abuse and in,

FIRST BARGAIN DAY I
PROVES SUCCESSFUL
BIG CROWD ATTENDS
DESPITE BAD WEATHER
All Merchants Report Bargains Are
Snapped Up, BY Eager Buyers
Early in the .Day-Will Enlarge
Next Event.

Notwithstanding that the day was
sscold and dark and dreary," Monday
Of this week, which was Bargain
Day. in Medina, from a commercial
viewpoint took on a hue Of turkey
red rather than azure.
From 8 o'clock in the morning until
late in the afternoon the public square
was lined with autos and carriages,
and glance into any Of the STORES
disclosed a large number Of visitors,
attracted by the bargains that were
being offered therein.
A canvass Of the various mercan-.
tile places Of the village on Tuesday
brought out the fact that practically
every member Of the Medina Adver-
tising club had disposed Of ALL. or
nearly SO, Of his stock Of bargains"
before the day was half gone. This,
say the merchants, was source Of
embarrassment to them. Hlotwith-
standing that they had no means Of
determining in advance what the ex-
tent Of the demand would be.
In a few Of these cases merchants
promptly advanced other articles at
discount rather than turn away a
disappointed visitor. These mer-
chants state, however, that they will
take pains to forestall aAother such
emergency by providing a more ade-
quate supply.
A criticism heard from certain Wis
itors from the outlying districts was
to the effect that there was no limit
to which a purchaser might buy any
one bargain offered, and that resi-
dents Of the village had an opportun-
ity Of gobbling up the bargains at an
early hour. To this criticism the
merchants state that while no limit
had been set, and that undoubtedly
some buyers took undue advantage Of
the situation, an effort was made Ia
some extent to check such sales. This
situation, too, the merchants state
will not obtain on future bargain
days. w
The Sentinel has heard no Gxiti'
-cis1ns as to the quality Of the bargains
offered. nor of the general treatment
by the merchants and clerks of those
, who focked here to buy. The lat
ter for the most part seemed to rea
I liza that the first bargain day was I

to be considered more in the way Q.
an experiment than a sample Of wha
they hope and expect to develop ou

Elated and encouraged over the sue
cess Of their initial attempt, the Me
dina Advertising club have called
meeting for Thursday night of thi
week to compare notes and discus
plahs for enlarging the scope Of bar

ing the next one and those followin,

not matter.

BILIOUS CHILDREN
Black Draught, Long in Successful
Use, Praised by an Arkansas
Mother, ''Soon Does
Its Work"

Marmaduke, Ark.-Speaking Of
Thedford's Black-Draught, which from
long use in her household has become
regarded as "the family medicine"
Mrs. Mary e. Hill, of Route 1, this
place, says:
When the children get bilious,
give them a couple of good doses, and
when we have sour stomach, headache,
or any liver or stomach trouble, we
use Black Draught 1t is an easy laxa-
tive, and soon does the work. l GER
tainly think 1t is one of the best rem
edies made"
Black Draught acts on the jaded
liver, gently, but positively, and helps
It in its important function of throw
ing out waste materials and poisons
from the system.
In thousands of households Black
Draught is kept handy for immediate
use in time of need. Prompt treatment
often is half the battle, and will often
prevent slight ills from developing in
to serious troubles.
Its wellestablished merit, during
more than 10 years of successful use,
should convince you of the helpful
effects obtainable by taking Black
,Draught for liver and stomach dis
orders. Get package today, and
keep It in your house. See that
the package bears the words,
~rhedford's Black-Draught." NC-141

Christmas Music.

The musical program for Christ
mas at the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church was held last Sunday, being
postponed on account of rain one
week. Mrs. r. A. Napier had charge
of the exercises making the selections
and training the choir and chorus.
A particularly interesting feature
was the work of the chorus boys, in
sing ng and in entering the church
and organ platform. The music at
this church has be1n undergoing
some marked advances under Mrs.
Napiar's direction. The younger
singers are becoming interested and
the work also of the the organist,
Miss Reeves, the pianist, Miss Da-
= 3son, and the saxophone player,
Mr.. Reeves, is valuable addition to
the services. The Christmas music
was especially fine.
