the transfer; that Mrs Archinal had the right
! to make any subsequent transfer she chose and

A Neat Law Point.

Judge Taylor, Tuesday, decided nice point
in the case of Keim & Son, bankers, of Louis
vile, against the Ohio Hollow Block company.
Some time ago the Hollow Block manuhctur-
ers formed trust under the name of the Ohio
Hollow Block Company, and in making a set
tlement gave their notes to the Louisville Hol-
low Block company, which notes were dis
counted by Kem. Keim was manager of both
the Louisville Hollow Block company and
Keim & Son bankers. He brought suit on the
notes that were given. The defense set up that
the association was illegal and hence any notes
given by them would be void. To this Keim
demurred. Judge Taylor oveTuled the de.
murer, holding that as the trust was illegal the
notes were illegal, and he being party to the
trust could not recover as an innocent pur.

EIGHTY YEARS OLD.
The Birthday of Eli Smith Celebrated
Properly.

Father Eli Smiths birth anniversary was
duly honored by his five sons and two daugh
ters and their children assisted by other rela.
tives and friends and neighbors on the 9Th
inst. Plain township people never fail in a
surprise of this kind and Mr.. Smith was busy
repairing harness when the gathering came.
OF course they Just came in upon him, old and
young male and female, and there was the
neise Of many tongues and congratulations
and compliments were in order, and their
hearts were all in it, for the old gentleman has
always been held in high estimation by all
who knew him. His descendants and his
friends and neighbors were not disposed to let
pass Mr.. Smiths s0th birthday anniversary
without duly honoring the same.
The presents were numerous and the useful
kind, for Plain township people are people of
good sense. In due time feast of good things
was prepared, all ofwhich the good women had
provided for. 1t is needless TO say the ban
quet was part of the occasion fully enjoyed.
The Rev. John Kaler made the presentation
speech on behalf of the donors, and the rever-
end gentleman's remarks were appropriate and
well received. Mr.. Smith looked his gratitude
if he did not fully express it.
Eli Smith was born in Maryland, January 3,
1915. In 1917 his parents removed to Frank
lin county, Pa, and in 1925, the family came
TO Stark county by wagon, reaching Canton on
June 18th, having started on June 1st. Those
were not the days Of railways, steam and cleo
tricity, as now.
Daniel Smith, the father, died in 1866 at
the age of SO. Mr.. Eli Smith learned the tan.
ner's trade in his youth and followed the trade
for many years. His brother, the late Samuel
Smith, of GreentOwn, served as county COM
missioner and years prior to this his fatherin-
law, George Kreickbaum filled the same hon
orable position.
Mr.. Smith lost his wife about seven years
ago. He has twenty grand children and two
great grand children. His living sons and
daughters, seven, reside in Plain township, ex-
cept one, who lives in the adjoining township
Of Lake. Mr.. Smith enjoys good health and
his faculties are as yet unimpaired. Long may
he continue with us.

The Stamp System Finally Reaches
Canton and is Completed.
Mayor Cassidy this morning received letter
from a friend requesting that he assist the
the scheme of securing cancelled stamps for a
young lady. 1t was necessary that he send the
young lady ten stamps and write to three
friends asking them to do the same and each
also write to three friends and so on. This is
an old plan, but as the letter received was
numbered forty seven and only fifty were
necessary to complete the chain, it is likely
it will be ended in Canton. The question is,
if fifty letters secures the young lady ten
stamps, the second thirty stamps,
the third ninety stamps and
this be continued and tripled until the
fiftieth letter is reached, how many cancelled
stamps will she have received? Also how
many dollars will the government receive for
two cent stamps used by the participats in the
scheme?
