McElfresh Wins in Suit to Collect Star Vice Note of $300

George McElfresh, of Barkley township, and Winifred H. Pullins, now of Mississippi, purchased a block of “blue sky” from the Star Vice Co., and their note for S3OO passed into the hands of a mysterious “Mr. Martin,” of Kansas City. Mr. PuHin moved to Mississippi, and action was brought against Mr. McElfresh to compel payment of the note. Mr. Martin, nor none of the plaintiffs showed up to testify as to how Martin happened to have the note and the jury was not long in bridging in u verdict for McElfresh. Those who attended the Wickersham lecture at the church Tuesday evening went out expecting to hear something good, but few were prepared for the rare treat which they enjoyed. For an hour and forty minutes Mr. Wickersham held his audience spellbound and at the Mose nearly all rushed forward to grasp him by the hand. Mr. Wickersham’s mastery of ideas, control of language, and self-possession are truly marvelo i>, and he has been voted by many the strongest man who ever appeared upon out lecture platform. No one heard the lecture who didn’t r.<*eive many times the worth of his money, and those who failed to hear him suffered an irreparable loss.—St Francis (Kans.) Herald. At M. E. church, Friday evening, Dec. 9th. The kind of a girl a man likes to meet nowadays is not one that, he can kiss if he wants, to, but one that he doesn’t have to kiss if he doesn’t want tO. —2l
