HEIRS WIN SUIT
FOR BIG FARM
Statue of Limitation Fails to Hold
Land That Sold For Taxes
Eight Years Ago
A suit somewhat out of the or
dinary for the possession of a farm
near Sulphur Reck was settled out
of court on a compromise a few
days ago.
Francis Hardin, who died some
twenty years ago, left a farm of
200 acres, which,by will, he left to
his wife during her lifetime, and
then to his married daughter and
her bodily heirs. About eight
years ago, through their failure to
pay the taxes, the farm was sold
for taxes. It was purchased by
Ernest Neill of Batesville and upon
the failure of the widow and
daughter to redeem the place in
the prescribed time, Mr. Neill
ejected them, took possession and ,
commenced some improvements'
upon the place.
Last spring the heirs of Hardin’sI
daughter, who is still living, insti
tuted suit in chancery court to
regain possesion of the place. The
suit wras settled a few days ago by
their paying [the back taxes and
paying for the impovements which
Mr. Neill had made upon the farm,
Mr. Neill giving them a deed to
the place. Attorney J. R. Alex
ander of this place represented the
heirs.

POLITICIANS LINING
UP FOR NEXT RACE
Oldfield Will Seek Senatorial
Toga-—Judge Langford and
Campbell for Congress
The political tread-mill never
grows weary, although who tread
upon it sometimes grow a-weary
from frequent lubrication of the
bearings. Perennially, some re
former suggests that a lot of our
elections be consolidated, but so
far, it has never gone beyond the
suggestions stage, except for an
occasional bill introduced in the
Legislature which never got be
yond some funeral committee.
It was three weeks after the
election held on Sept. 9 before the
complete returns were in the
hands of the Secretary of State
but long before that time the wide
awake politicians were dealing iq
futures. N
Congressionally, the contests for
next year are shaping up in some
districts before the election in
November is held. There will
be no contests in the First, Fourth
Fifth and Sixth districts, but there
will be some lively times in the
Second and Third, and possibly in
the Seventh,
“Billy” Oldfield, now serving his
second term and nominated for the
third, has announced to his friends
that he will be a candidate for the
United States States Senate against
James P. Clarke who is expected
to be a candidate for re-election.
His friends predict that he will
make a strong race. This will
bring on a scramble for his suc
cessor, and Judge Eugene Lang- 1
ford, of Devall’s Bluff, judge of '
the Seventeeth Circuit, has al
ready thrown his hat into the ring.
Others will follow, and it is not at
all unlikely that Tom Campbell,
whom Oldtield defeated the last
time, will be heard from again.
MORSES AND MULES FOR SALE
I have at Oil Trough two coin
ing-two-years-old draft stock colts ,
and one pair of work mules for
sale. The work team is gentle;
will work single or double, and
broke to ride. W. I). Gray.
