Lyons pre siding, several cases on the calendar were compromised. The following were disposed of; Malinda Smith et als vs* Nelson Smith. In this case the jury awarded the plaintiff 2 1-2 acres of land for which they were contending. M. L. Dawkins et al vs. T. M. By *um. Plaintiff recovers SBOO. The next case wad T. M. Bynum vs. M. L. , Dawkins et al. The palintiff was al lowed the mill in the settlement. A. D. Andrews vs. T. J. Lambe. The' plaintiff loses. This was a case of much interest. Some years ago the defendant gave the Lambsville people a quarter of an acre of land on which to build a church. Later he sold the land to the plaintiff. Nothing was said of the donation to the church. The plaintiff contended that he bought the church and began to take out some of the articles in the building. Some ot the members objected to this, as they had furinshed the lumber and built the church. Hence the suit against the de fendant. • L. M. Petty vs. Louis Alston. Plain tic loses. \ - J. N. Rives vs. J. L. Womble. Palin tiff wins and jury awards him $l,lOO. GOOD ADVICE. Mr. J. Paul Leonard, secretary of the North Carolina Merchants’ Asso ciation, in an address before a meet ing of Statesville merchants Friday night, had the following to say in re gard to advertising: “You should steer clear of all ques tionable advertising schemes. The newspapers are your best medium for advertising, and they deserve your liberal patronage. Money spent on ad vertising in your local newspaper al so helps to give you a larger and bet ter newspaper, and the newspaper is undoubtedly one of the community’s greatest institutioins. Give your news paper your moral and financial sup port and then demand a good paper which covers your trade territory in order that your advertising will be read. You are just as vitally interest ed in the circulation of your newspa per as the owner of the paper can possibly be, because if the people of your trade territory do not read your newspaper containing your advertis ing, they will read some other news paper and read the advertising of the merchants of some other town,” con cluded the speaker.
