s.rsr OF FORFEITED Tax LANDs.-W;


publish this week the list Of such lands as
were sold for taxes in the year 81, and
which viii be forfeited and decided from
the hands Of owners in May next unless |
redeemed before that time. Every land
owner in The country should Immediately
compare bis receipts dated in 81 with this
list, and if lands described in receipt are
found advertised he should call on the
CLERK Of County Board Immediately and
have corrections made; in case OF neglect
to make such corrections the receipts held
may not avail, and cannot avail to prevent
trouble. The late decisions Of courts are
quite uniformly against those who neglect
to pay their taxes and in favor of those
holding tax claims and tax deeds. 1t IS
certain that deeds against unimproyed
lands of nonresident owners give very
GOOD titles; also, the holders Of lands I'M
der tax deed may certainly collect pay for
improvements made while residing upon
lands ia case such lands are recoye cred by
original owner; the holders of tax sale GER
tiicates arc certainly entitled to 20 per
cent interest, which is more than anybody
can afford to pay; all considered, tax
deed upon lands not owned By heirs or es-
tates, is quite az good as warranty-es-
pecialIy in Grant County where business
pertaining to county lands has been cor
rectly done for the past ten years or longer.
THANKservINa.-On Thursday Of last
week, the M. E. Church was well filed with
people who. in obedience to the Presidents
proclamation commanding a return OF
| thanks TO Almighty God for late victories,
assembled for the purpose of prayer and
common recognition Of the Higher Law
After prayer and patriotic songs, Mr. d.
Gray Pnrman commenced the speaking
exercises, and made the best speech upon
political and national issues Of the day that
has been heard in Lancaster for many
day, so all say that heard him, He was
followed by Mr.. Mills, Nr. Barber closing.
/
By some unaccountable blunder or arrange
ment, Mills made the speech which Barber
meant to make, while Barber got started
on one of Mills best and spoke it through
quite as successfully as one Of his own
The next day we heard each accusing the
other of disappearing the property Of his
superior. The facts are, in the frequent in
terchange Of ideas and opinions upon CUES
tons of the day it is no uncommon thing
for men to prefer Others thoughts to
their own, and in speech-making use the
widest, strangest sort of thunder.
