Fifty Thousand Dollar Suit Dismissed In City Court
A second John Deere Plow Company suit against City Hardware Company of Anniston ended in a defense verdict in Talladega’s city court after the firm had filed another $50,000 pleading.

The plaintiff admitted much of its claim was paid in 1907, ending the dispute in one day and a half.
