senate Tuesday forenoon providing for the roper
| ambulating of town lines and re-establishing the
| boundary marks next year and once in ten years
hereafter. The bill is intended to remedy an evil

| line of their town. The lines and landmarks are
almost entirely lost and the old men who know
about them are fast passing away.
