intendent of the Memphis and Chari es-
ton railroad, and who was recently vol ed
the magnificent gold chronometer watch
at St. Bridgets fair, as being the most
popular railroad superintendent in the
city, called upon him at his Office, last
evening. The worthy superintendent
was in the midst of his very responsible
duties, and, though expressing himself
pleased to see so many of his friends,
suspected nothing Of their intentions
until Mr.. John B. Galloway approached
him and spoke as follows
ma. RYAN-A number of our mutual
friends have requested me to ask your
acceptance OF this elegant watch chain,
as a token of our appreciation OF you as
an officer, orr esteem for yon as sentie-
man, and our regard for You as p trlend;;
May the golden links Of the chan. and
the equally golden links Of orr friend

Mr.. GLLLAwAY-I thank you and,
through you, the friends who have done
me this honor. | cannot Epd words to
express to you my feelings, but II these
is any gentleman present who can say
anything appropriate to the occasion
that have not thought in the last few
minutes, I would be glad TO have him
speak for me. | know my old father
will be prouder when he hears otthis.
The recipient concluded his remarks
by suggesting refreshments, which were
heartily enjoyed amidst yolley Of

rhe Boundary Line TROUBLES.

The legal troubles between landlords
and tenants on the debatable land known
as the boundary line between Shelby
county, Tennessee, and DeSoto county,
Mississippi, are becoming complicated.
There is strip of land about two hun
dred yards in width on, or near, the line,
which is claimed by each State, owing
to the fact that the landmarks Of the
State line have been obliterated by
time. Our county surveyor, Burke,
and well known civil engineer,
made surveys of section IL, the section
in dispute, and had no difficulty in de-
termining that the entire section lay IN
Tennessee. Yet Mississippi claims part
of this section. When Mississippi was a
Territory there was line known as the
Winchester State line. which ran east

Chickasaw survey was made, and the
Chickasaw lands were divided into see
tons, the survey and numbering com,
mencing in Mississippi and running up
over the State line and across the sec
ton line of l3, and up to the old Win
chester State line. This survey is shown
in Lusher's map Of Mississippi. The
trouble has arisen from the fact that in
the lapse of time the Both parallel State
line was forgotten, and the line OF sec
ton IL and adjoining sections came to
ne considered as the State line. There
is strip Of land between this section
and the State line on the Both parallel
which does not seem to be owned by any
n erson, and the title to which is yet
nrobably in the Chickasaw tribe Of In
dams.
The land claimed by the Mississippi
t.x titlelandl' ords stretches over the State
line to the line, of section ID; but when
the section line came to be considered
as the State line, this claim, of course
went over into section ID. BY re-estao-
fishing the State line on the 3oth paral'
lei the land claimed by Mississippi land
lords will be properly loo ated between
the State and section lines, and the
owners of section 10 and adjoining sec
tons will be relieved from legal troubles
At present Shelby county is deprived OF
revenue from at least FIVE Thousand
acres of land, upon which taxes are col
lected by Mississippi.
