| Decisisn In Law.
The following decision in Law has been re-
ceived BY Ruel Smith, Esq.,. clerk o. the
Eastern Daw District:
PEsoBscor CouSrr CASE.
Inh. Of Greenfield vs.. Inh. of Garden
"Action to stand for trial"
Reserpf-In settlement cases, evidence II
the declarations of deceased person j. adj
missable to show when, but not where such
person was born.
The recital in an ancient deed that the
grantor was of a certain place. is competent
evidence of his residence in such place a, the
date Of the deed. 1t is an act done ante hfem
NOLAN , part of the res oessa, the actors in
which are dead.
In pauper suit, the ancient book of rec
ords belonging to a town which is party to
the litigation, reciting facts bearing upon
the residence Of the pauper's ancestor in such
town, although the books are not kept with
| technical accuracy, are competent evidence of
the facts recited: they are part of the res
gesf1, and partake Of the character of decla-
rafions made by the town.
Where it is shown that person was resid-
ing at q certain place at a certain time. the
ordinary presumption is that snch residence
was a continuing residence For what period
| Of time such presumption would last must
depend upon all the associated circumstances.
The fact that paupers ancestor lived and
had his home upon the territory of a town
upon the day of its Incorporation, thereby
acquiring his settlement in such town, NAV
be shown by circumstantial and presumptve
evidence.
The town Of Camden was Incorporated on
February IL, 1871. John Gordon. Jr., in
deed of October II, 1856, describes himself
as residing in the place afterwards incorpo-
| rated On April Is. 1871, the selectmen Of
Camden laid out road ''to John Gordon,
Jr's house, and the town accepted it. 1t
appears from the town records and registry
of deeds. that, for many years continuously
after 1871, he was residing in Camden, deal
ing in some extent in real estate, and taxed
for considerable real and personal estate
between 1901 and 1913, no lists of assess
ments or valuation being found of a date prior
to 1901, and that at times during this period he
held minor Office in town and in other respects
performed acts that were TO some extent indca-
tive of citizenship. Aged witnesses remem-
Der him AS long ago as their memories serve
them, which would be somewhere at the be-
ginning of the present century. and such
persons do not remember, and there is moth
ing in the case to indicate. that he resided
in any other place prior to 1913. Held, that
these facts are p,imo faeie proof that John
Gordon, Jr., resided in Camden on the day
of its Incorporation, February Il, 1871.
Held, also. that the presumption from such
facts is that he was a citizen and not an
alien. Held. further, that inasmuch as the
town was incorporated from a plantation. all
! citizens residing within its limits on the day
of incorporation were made inhabitants with
privileges alike and had legal settlement
therein.

LITTLE DIRT.

The Odessa Herald Is our authority
for the statement that the day after the
election two rebel dags were unfurled
to tho breeze by q couple of enthusi.
astlc citizens of that town. A cores
pondsnt writing to tie Intelligencer de-
mics the story, but until We hear from
the Herald. the authorized mouthpiece
OF the people of that region, we must
continue to believe the flags were dis
played.-Lsxington Register.
1t so happsns that the Odessa Her.
aid IS not authority for any such act.
Our cotsmporary 10 just . little of.
OF 80 far as to state that which is not
true. Read a little more carefully be-
fore you make your statements. A cor
respondent from Bates City did state
that something Of the kind was done
in that t0Un, and that Is disputed.
There are indisputable evidences in the
Register that the above statement was
made for mischief, because the same
issue oil that paper contains the same
communication from the same mau In
Bates City, trying to convince people
that what he said In a few lines, alter
the election in . communication to the
Herald upon a variety OF subjects of
local character. was true. 1t the editor
will read his own paper OF last week he
need not wait to see the Herald tor con-
irmaliOn or denial. A little dirt, We
suspect.-Odessa Herald, Dec. Is.
In spite of the fact that no charge has
been made BY any n else that rebel
flags were raised At Odessa, and in
spite Of the clear denial contained in the
above, the Register again. this week, re-
itsrates It's baseIess charge, and even
alleges that the Herald does moi enter

friends think Of that kind OF journalism

The numbers went from l to 800, any

THINKS HE MUST BE DRUNK Or

The citizens of Odessa should call
q meeting aud denounce the men who
hoisted the rebel flags. That is the
only way to clear themselves OF the
charge of treason. A few men should
not be permitted to cast such a stigma
on a ''loyal" community without
being given to understand that they
must not do it again.-Lexington
Register of the 14th instant.

ever charged that q "rebel flag" has
been hoisted in Odessa for the last five
hundred years, except the editor Of
