ThJ* known as the "flab hook" case. The basis of tbe suit waa the contention of Mr. Coram that while biting off a cbew of plug tobacco, a product of the Reynolds company, he bit into a fish hook, sticking the hook in his lip. He claimed that it was necessary for him to go to a doctor for medical attention and the removal of the hook. The Reynolds company claimed that if there was a fish hook in the plug it was an accident and not the fault of the company and they were not responsible. After a trial lasting almost two days the Jury awarded Mr. Coram damages ip the sum of {1,200*. The tobacco company gave notice of appeal. ««00 Verdict The next case taken up and the most hotly contested one was that of J. D. Pardue, 9 years old, by his next friend, Mrs. Geneva jfardue, against Dr. Fred M. Hanes o'f Win ston-Salem. This case was the' re sult of an accident last July when the car of Dr. Hanes which he was driving himself, struck and injured the boy in front of the home one mile east of Yadkinville. The ac cident occurred on a Monday morn ing as Dr. Hanes was going from his cottage at Roaring Gap to his office in Winston-Salem. The plaintiff claimed that Dr. Hanes was driving at a reckless and dangerous rpte of speed and other TUB BLKIN TKIBUNB.JBLKIN, NORTH CAROLINA i allegations which contributed .to the striking of the boy, who spent sev i eral weeks in a Winston-Salem hos ; pital. Dr. Hanes claimed that the i boy lamped off a wagon directly in , front of his car and it was lmpos i sible for him to see the boy or - avoid the accident and that he was > driving at a moderate rate of speed, i Witnesses testified that he was ' driving about 40 miles an hour. The i Jury awarded damages in the sum : of $600.00 after hearing evidence and attorneys' arguments for two ' days. Pardue's attorneys gave rto ! tice of appeal. 1 Dr. Hanes carried liability insur -1 ance for several thousand dollars and it is understood that an amount about four times the damages awai-d --! Ed had been offered to ; settle the case out of court. Attorneys ap -1 pearing for the boy were Wallace & ■ Wall of Winston-Salem, J. H. Fol ger of Mt. Airy and L. D. Kelly of Yadkinville. Attorneys appearing for Dr. Hanes were A. E. Hall, Yad : kinville, Fred Hutchens and James Gay of Winston-Salem. In the case of Mrs. Cora Cooper, Yadkinville, against Home Chair Co., of North Wilkesboro, the case was settled out of court, Mrs. Coop er receiving 1200.00 as a settlement. This case grew out of an auto col lision between Mrs. Cooper's car and one owned by the chair company, which accident occurred about two years ago on Route 60, west of Brooks Crosfa Roads.

Couzzen granted a divorce from Laura Couzzen; Louis YOfk was granted a divorce from Belle Myers York and Carl Hemrlc was granted a divorce from Ma/tha Hemrlc.
