Madison Recorder: A mortgage deed has
court in and for this county this week
that is of more than ordinary interest to
the people of this county, inasmuCh as il
is, possibly an indication that an enter
prise long in contemplation will soon be
reality, 1t is to cover a loan of $1200O0,
secured from the Citizens Bank of Sa-
vannah, Ga, by the Naldosta Southern
Railroad Company, and for which the
company has issued bonds to the extent
of 81, COO per mile. The money is to be used
in building and equipping the road from
Naldosta to this place. 1t is to be hoped
that the indication of business will not
prove a failure as its predecessors have.
but that the road will be speedily built
and put in operation. A hearty welcome
awaits it here.
Green Cove Spring: Leander r. Hap
good, who for the past two years, or per-
haps little longer, has been a citizen of
Orange Park, died on last Sunday after
noon in his home in that town. Deceased
is said to have been subject to vertigo
and he had a severe attack several days
before his death. He was II years of age,
and came from Massachusetts. He leaves
a wife, who, we are told, lives in Chicago.
His remains were embalmed and sent
. north. County Judge Black, in response
to telegram, went to Orange PARK
Monday afternoon, and on Tuesday ap-
pointed ]. H. Parks, one of the aldermen
of the town, as curator to take charge of
the effects of the deceased. 1t was the
general impression that he was possessed
of considerable money. He lived quite
economically and. had been receiving a
pension for some time beside which he
owned property of more or less value.
A suit that has been in the courts for
the past twenty-five years was finally
settled at the term of court Just ended
1t was suit over a piece of land situa-
ted on the south side of Artillery lane
west of the old Kirby Smith house. and
east of the Guernee lot, at St Angus
tine. The lot originally belonged to Judge
Gould, and was sold during the war for
direct taxes. About 1869 Gould sold the
land to Jacob Vanderpool. The property
was at this time in the possession of one
Hill, who had bought IL at the tax sale
Nanderpool brought suit against Hill in
1870, and got possession of the property
Hin appealed from the decision and in
1875 got it reversed. The sheriff elected
Nanderpool, and gave Hill possession. The
statute of limitation was passed while
Nanderpool was in possession, between
the years 1S71-H A new suit was begun
about 1876, in the name of James NJ Gould
for the use of Nanderpool, by Fleming &
Daniel. The case hung in the courts
from 1876 to 1882 when w. w. Dewhurst
of this city took up the case for the Gould
heirs In the meantime, all the prinei-
pals in the case had died, including Hill
Gould, Vanderpool, and Fleming & Dan
iel, the lawyers. The parties in the suit
were amended, and the case was tried
before John Cooper, referee, who decided
that the statute of limitation prevented
the Gould heirs from recovery, He held
that the possession of Nanderpool did not
break Hills possession, as the first iudg-
ment was afterwards reversed, and that
Hill was forced out Mr.. Dewhurst ap-
pealed from the decision, and took the
case to the supreme court His point
was sustained. The case was again tried
at this term of court on the decision of
the supreme court, and the case was won
by Mr.. Dewhurst. The heirs of Gould now
recover judgment.
