Recorder William Klipsch has just re-
corded an old deed for Thomas c. Bur
CESS. 1t is a patent for eighty acres
granted 10 Joseph Cahon Rhea by Pres
ident Andrew Jackson, Sept 16, 1885.
Ethan A. Brown was commissioner Of
the general land office at the time. The
land is now a part OF Mr.. Burgess 5
farm in Clay township. The document
recorded is the original instrument on
file in the land office. When the patent
was first recorded, nearly sixty years
ago, the recorder made a slight error
in leaving out the surname. The flaw
was slight, and the recording again by
Mr.. Burgess was not necessary. since
his more than twenty years occupancy
of the land made his title good Mr..
Burgess is a man of method and cor
rectness in business habits and he
wanted no missing link in the title. The
duplicate having been lost he sent for
the original having forwarded affida-
Wits to the effect that he was the owner
of the land in question.-Columbus
Times.
The Elkhart Review says that Conduc-
tor SiXby tells a story illustrative of
the forgetfulness Of mankind. He had a
Goshen business man and his wife for
passengers from Elkhart TO Goshen on
their way home from the fair. When
Mr. SiXby. came to them the gentleman
declared he had settled with the con-
ductor Of the west end for his trip
home. He was told that that was i'm
possible, as the division ended at Elk
hart. Well, he knew he had, but did
not want any trouble and would pay
for himself and wife. He reached into
his pocket, but did not have GO cents.
Col. Johnson sat in the seat with him,
and offered to stand good for him, but
the man said no. he would borrow the
money of a friend in the car, and ac-
cordingly went to the friend and asked
for money to pay his fare. AT this the
friend blurted out, why, you blamed
old curmudgeol, why don't you give
him your ticke % The business man
started as if shot, went down into his
pocket and produced two tickets from
Elkhart to Goshen.
James NJ. Smith and Miss Belle Mil
Iap Of
Squire Johns music and bicycle rooms,
seat of justice and marriage certificate

before venturing in. At last they en-
tered the threshold about 9 o'clock and
explained that they did not want to
come in while anybody else was around.
Mr. Smith, with considerable bashful-
ness and .quaking, at length produced
a marriage license made out in due form
at the clerks office and asked Squire
John his price for tying the knot. well,
that depends on how much she will be
worth TO YOU" said the squire do you
think she would be worth S2?' ''Well,
l can't tell about that yet" said the
young man. How about a dollar,
then?'' "WeH, 1 reckon she ought to be
worth a dollar" said the young man.
Accordingly he told the squire TO pro-
coed. And soon the knot was tied in the
squire's blandest and most impressive
manner. Mr.. Smith is twenty-five years
of age and the son of William Smith.
Miss Miller is a daughter of Andrew
Miller of Englewood. She reported her
age as Observation-Disclosures Democrat.

remembrance this spot was a favOrite
burial ground with the Indians. Excite

she went after the water. leaving the
