R. L. BUDD LOCATES IN THE SOUTH

Birmingham, Alabama, November 25, 1918. Mr. Louis Hamilton. •Dear Sir:— At last we are in the South. We arrived here Tuesday, the 12th, and are now moving along in tile even tenor of our way. I am again with the express company and doing nicely. This town is a great little town, and in more ways than one, and it is certainly booming. It is the center of the “Pittsburg district of the South.” When we arrived there was not a single house in the town for rent, and as far as I know there is none yet. <. But you will please advise my friends not to come here for cheaper living, as it is not to be found in this territory. Just imagine 20c per quart for milk, and at present potatoes are $2.50 per bushel. I was down on our market street the other day looking around and all the potatoes I saw came from St. Paul, Minn. Louis, we wish you would forward our paper to 2505 N. 22nd Ave, Birmingham, Ala. Must dose for the •present, with best regards.

The decision of the higher court- follows: , “(1) The appellants were sureties upon a note given in payment for an account for medicines furnished another (principal) for sale under a guaranty by appellants. The appellants filed an answer setting up that the appellee for eighteen months failed to attempt any collections from the principal debtor or to notify appellants such facte at the time the note was executed. The court holds that the note was given in settlement of all prior controversies and that there is no sufficient showing of fraud to invalidate it, and that the demurrer Is eerrect in form.”
