Injunction Dissloved:
Warrant Suit Not Affected
The injunction suit brought by
Slayton & Co. against Panola coun-
ty to restrain the county from ex-
pending one half of the 30-cent road
tax levied, pending the litigation
over the $160,000 in warrants, was
dissolved by Judge W. L. Estes at
the hearing in Sherman last week.
This releases a few thousand dol-
lars—approximately $ 15,000—which
were tied up in this fund but the
suit in the federal court court for
the collection of the $160,000 in
warrants is not affected, one way or
the other by the dissolution of the
injunction.
Neither is the county’s financial
condition materially affected since
the county owes, aside from the
$160,000 in disputed warrants, near-
ly $150,000 and two judgments, one
for $6,000 and another for $12,000
have been issued against the county
funds.
Not a cent of either principal or
interest has yet been paid to the
Midlaud Bridge Co. which built the
iron bridges east of Carthage aud
there are various back claims which
would swallow, several times over
the sum released.
The work now being done on the
Carthage-Gary road aud on some
other roads in the county is being
taken care of by the automobile tax
fund, special permission to use it
having beeu obtained from the state
highway commission. Inspector
McLendon of the highway commis-
sion with Judge Long, examined the
work on the Gary road last week
and expressed his commendation of
it.
Mrs. W. L. Neal
Gone to Hei Reward.
At noon Friday May 28, Mrs.
Martha Ann Neal, wife of W. L.
Neal passed from this life after
an illness of more than three
years. For a considerable part
of her long life she was very frail
but after a heart attack a little
over three years ago she became
a confirmed invalid.
A native of Madison counts7,
Georgia, she came to Texas with
her sister in 1866 and on Feb- 6,
1867 she was wedded to W. L.
Neal, also a native of Georgia,
whom she met after her arrival in
Texas. Their entire wedded life
was spent in the vicinity of Car-
thage.
Mrs. Neal who was 76 years of
age on January 4 last was a
daughter of Col. J. S. Gholston,
a distinguished Confederate offi-
cer and a politician of note in
Georgia.
Her husband, W. L. Neal, her
son, Dr. J. S, Nealj and two
daughters, Mrs. S. A. Hawthorn
and Miss Margie E. Neal, besides
several grandchildren and two
great grandchildren survive her.
Also her sister, Mrs. John Bird,
resides in Carthage and her
brother, J. S. Gholston, lives in
Gary. " }“ ..
The funeral services, held Sat-
urday afternoon at the Neal
home, were conducted by Rev. J.
Harvey Carlin of Beckville, the
pastor of the' Methodist church
of Carthage with which Mrs.
Neal was affiliated, being ont of
the state.
The services were simple but
earnest and impressive, and the
minister paid a fitting tribute to
the deceased who endured her
long illness with great fortitude,
cheerfulness and courage.
She was laid to rest in the old
cemetery in a grave lined with
cape jasmines and the mound
under which she sleeps was liter-
ally covered with beautiful floral
tributes from loving friends.
