Last week it came out again with patent insides, from which we judge that it whipped the trust. Tell us how you did it, Kit. Chas. Bracken and Claude Graves received a letter Monday from one of the officials of the east and west road, requesting them to be in readiness to resume work on the road about April Ist—rather a strong indication that the company means business —Morocco Courier. J. F. Hardman, the jeweler, has taken the agency for the Continental Casualty Co., ofChicago, an insurance company that pays both sick and accident benefits. He has had phenomenal success in writing policies—writing 72 in. Rensselaer. He has also taken the local agency for the Aetna Life Insurance Co., one of the strongest companies in existence. A preacher in a neighboring town recently struck an original method of getting a good collection. As the contribution box was being passed around he announced in a loud voice: “Those of you who are in debt are not expected to give anything.” Collections had been slim before but that day money fairly rained into the contribution box. Judge Gray, of Frankfort, handed down a decision which, if sustained by the higher courts, will prove very disastrous to the Nickolson law. It was to the effect that there can be no such thing as a general power of attorney for a remonstrance against all applicants in a township or ward for a period of two years, but that the power of attorney can apply only to one particular applicant for a license, mentioned in the instrument itself. The practice in commissioners’courts has been to make one power of attorney serve all the remonstrators or temperance people against all ap- 1 plicants for two years. , |
