I have the date 1895 in my files for this, but without consulting
the Boonville Advertiser cannot verify that.
This is J F Rutherford’s first book. The forward reads (in
part)
“It has been the aim and intention in the preparation of
this book to give a brief analysis of the Laws of Missouri in a form easy to be
comprehended by every one. THE ADVERTISER has had Mr. J.F. Rutherford, one of
the leading members of the Boonville bar, to compile and arrange the laws
herein. His fitness for such work is a guarantee of its usefulness to the
farmers and business men.”
About a dozen different firms of lawyers are listed in the
directory. JFR was part of WRIGHT AND RUTHERFORD, lawyers, Office in the
Windsor Block.
The small book of about 128 pages was given away free with
the Boonville Advertiser. It may have curiosity value, but has nothing to do
with JFR’s later writings for the Watch Tower Society.
