The former 1853 borrowed $l22 from
Ogden. He paid interest regularly
for seven years but failed ut others,
and the interest Twas compounded
three or four times up to May, 1877.
Then Ogden required Banks and his

soon after getting this note, Ogden
sued them both and got Judgment
for s5s0.0S. Ogden bought ut

There IL little town near here
named North Lima, which has kind
of romalic historical affair which has
furnished the ncighbors and villagers
food for talk. The hero, IL such he
could be called, was II queer old man
named Jacob Augustine. He lately
died He was strange, good-hcartcd
little man, who had never slept a
single night away from his home, and
the longest journey he ever made was
to come To this city, "A distance of but n
few miles. And yet this stranger to
the world at large, whose life was
almost that of IA child, through all his
years had romance, the secret of
which he carried to the grave. When
he was sturdy young man he became
betrothed to "a bright, vivacious little
smiled upon his suit, but her father
broke the match. From this moment
Jacob Augustine led the life Of "A
bachelor.
1t has been known of late that Jacob
was accommodating considerable wealth,
although he made no exhibition of it,
instituted for the money and his will,
which he had made a year ago The
search through the attic OF his house,
revealed in out of the way corners many
ana various amounts of money, which
was largely In Mexican and Spanish
coins, but no trace OF the missing will
was found until n trunk was examined
and there, pinned securely 10 the
sleeve of an Uld-ftshioned swallow
tailed wedding coat, was the will and
n bag containing nearly 500 in gold.
Yesterday all the personal effects
left by the strange old man were sold
ut auction, and almost within hear
ing of the auctioneer's voice, u prisoner
IN her own house, was the once fair
maiden Gottlieb Wealandt, now and
for the last hfty-eight years hopelessly
insane because of the cruel fate that
kept her from uniting her heart and
life with her betrothed She remains
the last survivor of this sad romance of

The latter does not hesitate tbat ms

significantly hints that II they refuse
10 do 20 they run the risk Of losing his

siantly with the Republicans In the

Georgian remarked that he

thought he deserved IL at the

thing in relation 10 Spccrs' appoint
