Jackson Argus – Butts County May 4, 1900
Important Will Case

In the Court of Ordinary this week Judge Carmichael had before him a very 
import Will case.

By the Will of the late Alex Sanders of Indian Spring, one of his daughters was 
cut off with a $5 allowance.  Mrs. Slaughter sought to have the Will set aside 
and much evidence was introduced to prove that the testator was an imbecile at 
the time of the making of the Will and not capable of forming a rational desire 
as to what should become of his property.

The case was one which involved some fine points of law, and the hearing 
occupied a part of two days.

The judgment of the ordinary was that the contention of the caveatrix (exact as 
spelled) Mrs. Slaughter, was named and that the Will should not stand.  It is 
likely that the case will be appealed to the Superior Court.
