Currier, ex ecutor, has been informed of the pro posed contest by Mrs. Fannie T. Ack erman, of New York, sister of Mrs. Dodd.

I have not been Informed of any intention to contest the will and I can not see what grounds the contest will be based upon.” !t is recalled that Mrs. Dodd be queathed to her brother, Henry S. Dibble, $5,000 to be held in trust; that be was to receive only the pro reeds from its investment, and that at his death the. amount was to re vert to the Mercer fund. To her sis ter, Mrs. Fannie T. Ackerman, was left a similar sum, without incum brance. Charles K. Currier, president of the Atlanta National Bank, executor of the will, said Monday that if a con test is made he will quit.
