The defendant company demurred to the complaint and the court sustained its demurrer. No judgment was rendered dismissing the complaint of the plaintiff and not even a judgment for costs was rendered.\n\u2022 When the 'court sustained the demurrer the plaintiff had his election to amend his complaint, or, to rest and permit final judgment to be rendered dismissing his complaint and then appeal.\nIt is well settled in this State that no appeal lies where there is no final judgment. The order of the court sustaining the demurrer was not a final judgment but was interlocutory, merely.\nIt follows that the appeal must be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Benton County v. Rutherford, 30 Ark. 665; Radford v. Samstag, 113 Ark. 185, 167 S. W. 491, and cases cited; Harlow v. Mason, 117 Ark. 360.\nIt is so ordered.",
