  THE 
  result. 
  

  

  The 
  foregoing 
  will 
  show 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  Mr. 
  Blackwell 
  has 
  

   an 
  irrefragable 
  right 
  to 
  this 
  trade-mark. 
  He 
  has 
  proved 
  it 
  

   so 
  conclusively 
  that 
  no 
  one 
  will 
  longer 
  doubt 
  it. 
  

  

  It 
  will 
  be 
  observed 
  that 
  the 
  contest 
  between 
  Arraistead 
  

   and 
  Blackwell 
  in 
  the 
  Patent 
  Office 
  arose 
  from 
  an 
  attempt 
  by 
  

   Armistead 
  to 
  register 
  the 
  words 
  "Durham 
  Smoking 
  Tobac- 
  

   co." 
  To 
  prevent 
  this 
  registration 
  was 
  BlackwelTs 
  object. 
  

   He 
  succeeded 
  not 
  only 
  in 
  this, 
  but 
  in 
  eliciting 
  an 
  opinion 
  

   so 
  positive 
  that 
  under 
  it 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  possibility 
  of 
  doubt. 
  

   Ko 
  one 
  not 
  a 
  resident 
  of 
  the 
  town 
  of 
  Durham 
  can 
  call 
  his 
  

   tobacco 
  Durham 
  tobacco, 
  and 
  no 
  one 
  but 
  W. 
  T. 
  Blackwell 
  

   has 
  a 
  shadow 
  of 
  claim
