Mrs. J. W. Kelley, of Marion, and F. P. McCoy, of Indianapolis, came to McCoysburg Sunday evening for a short visit with itoelr mother, Mrs. George McCoy, and Mr. and Mrs. Reed McCoy. Since the death of her husband a few weeks ago, Mrs. George McCoy has been making her home with Reed McCoy. It is the desire of her children that Bhe make her home with them instead of trying to keep house for herself, and this she has consented to do, so the children made a disposition of the household goods Monday. Charles Gray, who works for Floyd Miller, brought suit against Clarence Messenger in Squire C. W. Bussell's court Monday to regain possession of a top buggy, which the plaintiff had sold to the defendant several weeks ago on a cash payment of five dollars and the balance to be paid at a certain time. The complaint set out that the remainder of the debt was due and unpaid and that said Messenger had refused to settle. Constable John M. Johnson went over to McCoysburg Monday forenoon and brought ths buggy home with him for safe keeping. The parties had their hearing before the squire at two o’clock Monday afternoon, but he did not consider the evidence sufficient to warrant any specific action, so the case was continued.
