Appellants brief in the case of Harry Clifford vs. Judy & Wood and Samuel P. Hunter, appealed from the Newton circuit court, was filed in the appellate court this week. This case arose over the taking of some potatoes by Gifford from Albert Hann, a tenant of B. J. Gifford, on which Judy held a chattel mortgage. Harry Gifford was arrested on an affidavit sworn to by Hunter, but the case was dismissed before trial on plaintiff learning that Hann would not make affidavit that he owed Gifford nothing, as he is alleged to have previously stated. Gifford sued for $5,000 damages for malicious prosecution, making all three parties defendants, and was awarded judgment for S3OO in the Newton circuit court,- where the case was taken on charge of venue, Defendants appeal and expect a reversal of the judgment. DENTISTRY IN ALL ITS MODERN FEATURES. Life is cold and dark and dreary with the man who fajls. With us the sun shines warm and bright 365 days because we are successful. It is not luck; it is knowing how and being willing to work hard. Our work, our prices and our treatment make our patrons our best friends. Some there are who weep when others succeed and laugh when others fail. We have neither wept nor laughed but kept right on “sawing wood.” We have labored faithfully and hard to give our customers full value for their money and have been rewarded with a generous patronage. Do not get us mixed up with other dentists. We are not connected with any other office or laboratory in the county. We claim to do the best of any office in the state. Make us prove it. J. W. Horton.
