In one respect at least the Clarke county
(Ga.l court house Is tue repository Of the
most remarkable legal document ever
drawn up by man, 1t is on file in the Office
Of the recorder Of deeds, where it has been
for nearly century. This unique legal
document is III shape of Il deed the grantee
being an oak tree. The tree as it now
stands il ia front Of the residence OF Major
Stanley at Athens, ON what was formerly
a farm owned by Colonel W. Fl. jackson.
1t was an odd transaction all around, one
eminently characteristic Of the grantor,
who was known us man OF strong loves
and hates. having many of the former and
but few Of the latter. He and the old tree
grew up together, and the Ieanings OF his
peculiar nature caused him to reverence
the gigantic oak as though it were a thing
Of animate life.
When in ripe old aget the colonel reflected
that he would soon be called hence it
grieyed him to think Of leaving the tree to
the mercy Of any destroyer capable Of
welding an ak. With these thoughts Id
mind lie went TO the court house and re-
corded this remarkable instrument; u.
W. H. jackson, Of the county Of Clarke,
state of Georgia, of the first part, and the
oak tree giving locationl Of the other
part, witnesseth; That the said w. II.
jackson. for and in consideration Of the
great affection he hears for said tree and
his desire to see it protected, has conveyed
and by these presents does convey and con.
firm unto said tree entire possession of
itself and Of the land within eight feet Of
it on all Sides From the tenor Of the
deed the tree Is not only possessor uf itself,
bat is a Georgia real estate holder.--St

HeYe Is 4 peculiar legend Of the Indians,

which was related to the Indian children
at the agenc,s, was OF their fosefathers be.
lief as to the cause Of the disappearance OF
the moon He said the belief was that
every time the new moon appeared ii was
signal for all the mice in the country to
gather themselves together in one spot.
When they assembled they separated IN
four great armies. One army went TO the
north, another TO the south, a third to the
east, and 4 fourth TO the west.
These armies Of mice travelled until they
reached the point where, from the place Of
starting, the heavens seemed to touch the
earth. Then they climbed up the sky un.
til they came to the moon, which was by
this time what we cali full. All OF the
four armies then commenced nibbling Mt
Luna, and when they had eaten her oil up
the mice would scamper back down the
heavens to the earth and wait for her to
show herself again, when the journey and
nibhling would be repeated By the mice.
And this is what the Indians Of early days
believed was the cause of the moon grow.

WHO owns THAT LAND ?
ASsEM8LYKEH WRESTLING WITH
KROTTY PROBLEM
LAWYERS SHOW UP STRONG

For the Claims of the Milwaukee
Road-City's Case in Peculiar
Position-The Ordinance Re
ferred to Chamberlain-Pro-
of LabOrerS.
The ordinance passed by the board of
aldermen repeating one passed in April,
1882, granting permission to the o., M.
81 st. p. railway to erect freight house
on the levee below Sibley street. was
considered by the committee on streets
from the assembly yesterday afternoon.
F. w. NJ. Cutcheon and Judge Flan-
drau, representing the Milwaukee road,
explained to the committee that there
were two suits pending in court to
settle the title to the land on which the
freight house stands. The case which
had been tried did not involve tue title
to the land, but the courts, both district
and supreme, had decided the title was
in the railroad company, and not in the
city. The suit involving the title to the
land on which the freight house stands
has not been tried, but it is. they said,
even a stronger case for the railroad
company than the one decided in its
favor.
The ordinance granted by the coun-
Gil, the attorneys claimed, did not grant
other permission than the right TO con-
struct house on the ground, and this
was asked owing to the construction
being at that time in violation of the eX-
listing ordinances. Mr.. Cutcheon read
from the ordinance section which dis
tipctly said that nothing in the grant to
build the structure should in any way
affect the title to the land. If the ordi-
nance was repealed and the railroad
company should win the suits, the city
would by this action forfeit all right
under the ordinance, which now gave
them the right to use the basement and
wharf of the building in the landing
and unloading of boats.
After some discussion among the
members of the committee the ordl-
nance was referred to the city attorney
to report as to the ACCESSIBILITY and pro-
priety of passage. 1t was also under
stood that at the next meeting OF the
committee Aid. Warren. who intro
duced the ordinance. should be present
and give some reason why the measure
was introduced.
The resolution of Mr.. Reardon in
structing the city engineer to discharge
all but two of the street commissioners
was discussed at length. Mr.. Reardon
insisted that with but about $4,000 in
the street and sewer fund it was very
bad policy to pay 5000 per month to
seven men as bosses, at least when the
entire force on the streets and sewers
was only twenty men.
The other members of the committee,
with the exception of Mr.. Lightner,
while not opposing openly the passage
of the resolution, evidently were well
satisfied when Mr.. Van Slyke moved,
and the motion carried, that it be laid
over for two weeks
