Handsome Set of Decorated Table Ware
i Readers Saw It. '
Frunk L. Mays, editor and
manager(of the Pensacola Jour-
nal is a newspaper man of genius,
enterprise and ability.
One Saturday morning recent-
ly the Journal contained a sgri-
typographical error. A
arge merchantile house adver-
tised thirty pieces of wash sjlk
at 29 cents per yard, but w|len
tlie ad appeared in the Journal
read “thirty pieces of wash silk
at 10 cents per yard.”
Marly one*morning the iadies
of Pensacola began to raid on the
silk counter, calling for that “10
cent silk.” The merchant was
wild. His reputation was at
stake. He could not refuse to
sell goods as advertised. He
asked Mr. Mayes for an explana-
tion over the telephone. Back
came the answer from Mr. Mayes
“Sell your goods as advertised
and charge up the difference to
the Journal.”
By noon Saturday every yard
of the thirty bolts- Of silk was
sold, the purchasers paying the
10 cents per yard, and Mr.
Mayes paying the other 19 cents
per yard. "
“It was a costly mistake,”
says the Journal, “but we paid
it. The reputation of the mer-
chant to sell goods as advertised
was maintained, and the reputa-
tion of the Journal to make good
its mistakes was again and for-
ever established. But the ad-
vertisement, the mistake and the
swarm of ladies who hurried
-down that morning to buy silk
did more than all this.
“They established the fact
that people do read advertise-
ments and that they trade with
the merchant who advertises.”

of the said W. B. Patterson, deceased,
and the minors, Minnie Johnson and
Marie Waltman, heirs-at-law of L. D.
Bradley, deceased; the said Minnie
Johnson a resident of Freestone county,
Texas, and the said Mario Waltman, a
resident of Leon county, Texas, defend-
ants, and plaintiffs in their said petition
allege in substance as follows; Com-
plaining of the said Minnie Johnson and
Marie Waltlnan and the said unknown
heirs of the said W. B. Patterson, de-
ceased, represent that the said minor
plaintiffs, the said Janie A. Loader,
Mattie B. Loader and Charley B. Load
er, own and are in {lOHsession of the
hereinafter described 14802 acres of
land, more or less. That said 14801
acres of land consists of the following
headlights: 894$ acres, a part of the
said W. B. Patterson 640 acre survhy;
490 acres, a part of the Nathan Kernp-
ton 640 acre survey; 1482acres, a part of
the John Randall 1280 acre survey, and
2274 acres, the whole of the Wm. B.
Harris survey, all situated in Freestone
couuty Texas. Plaintiffs further rep-
resent, that notwithstanding their long
and peacable possession of the above
tracts of land, that they have recently
discovered that there are some defects
and irregularities in tho make up of
their title; that renders the same incom-
plete so far as their paper title is con-
cerned; that it appears that
transfer, or, conveyance ol
the w. B. Patterson heirs to
Carrington,. one of plaintiff’s
grantors to said 5944 acres HU
part of the W. B. Patterson 640 acre
survey, and, if any transfer; its record
and the whereabouts of the original is
unknown to plaintiffs, which break in
the chain of title to said land casts a
clpud upon plaintiffs title; and to try
title and to remove cloud therefrom,
plaintiffs sue, and pray for citation to
the unknown heirs of w. B. Patterson
deceased by publication.
Plaintiffs further represent and make
known to the Court that on the 21st day
of February, 1881, L. D. Bradley, one of
plaintiffs’ remote grantors to said 14802
acres of land, by and through J. R. See
ly, as agent of the said L. D. Bradley,
for a valuable consideration paid, con-,
veyed to D. C. Terry and J. w. Loader,
also plaintiff’s remote grantors, said
14802 acres of land, under and by virtue
of said power and agency, and that re-
cently plaintiffs have discovered that
there is no record of said power of attor-
toraey, Jf in fact one ever existed, and
the absence of the said power, and its
unknown existence and whereabouts,
purporting, to authorize the conveyance
of said 14802 acres of land, casts a cloud
upon plaintiff’s title to said above land,
in additL
the above mentioned and described land,
culttvating, using and enjoying the-
fruits, pnrtit* and revenues of the same
and paying the state and county taxes*
due, thereon, for a i>eriod of mors than
five years, next before the filing of this
suit, And plaintiffs further allege that
they and those under whom they claim
have good apd perfect right and title, to
all of said above mentioned and describ
ed land, and that those under whom they
hold, have had, and held iwaceable, con-
tinuous, exclusive and adverse possess-
ion of all said lands and tenements;,
cultivating, using, and enjoying the
fruits, profits, and revenues of the same,
for a period of not' only ten, but over
forty years, next before the filing ‘of
this suit, which they allege they are
named defendants Is* cited in terms of
the law to answer this petition, and one
of plaintiffs’ attorney’ , A. G. Anderson,
having made oath, that the w. B. Pai-
terwm heirs are unknown, and, if any,
their Residence is unknown to plaintftts,
n;rd therefore they pray that said w. B.
ratterson h unknown heirs be cited by
publication in terms of the law, and af
Court appoint an attorney to represent
said unknown heirs, on the trial of this
cause, and that an attorney or guardian
ad lit Am be appointed to represent the

cause, and that upon service had, and an-
swers filed, and proof of the allegations
