Tne recent decision of the supreme
court affirming the judgment of the
lower court in the case of the Bank
of Newport versus O. D. Watson et al
denies the petition of the plaintiff,
who sought to recover on money
loaned upon the Stevely saw mill.
The bark is awarded the machinery
added to the mill subsequent to the
loan of the late E. L. Watson to A.
iateveiy.
The a0..eement to close their stores
at 7:30 p. m. from May 1st to Septem
ber first, except upon Saturdays and
certain specified days, lacks the sig
nature of one merchant, W. B. Chas
te. a, to be effective. We hope that
when the case is laid fully before him,
he may yet agree to the request,
wr'ch will afford the clerks and store
keepers the evening hours for needed
ecrealion.
