G. w. Reed of West Charleston, for
mer resident of this village is here this
week visiting friends of his wife, Emma,
daughter of the late Ed. Hosmer. Mr..
Reed formerly worked in the Lyndon
Carriage Co., went west for his wife's
health, but returned to his old home in
West Charleston year ago to settle an
interest in property in his fathers estate
in Atlantic City, N. ]. In 1865 his father
purchased a lot there, 50x160, which,
with other property purchased from the
same party in different places and sold
off, left the cost of the Jersey lot at about
nothing and two years after the purchase
it was worth about nothing, as tidal
wave took the top off and left the lot un-
der water. For 20 years it was not taxed,
was regarded a waste and the family for
got it practically. But four years ago
the government built a breakwater near
lighthouse, and from the effects OF this
breakwater the Reed lot raised its back
above the water surface, and the Reed
family got information OF the fact and
began to inquire If there was any value
in the abandoned property. Lawyer
Gleason OF Lyndonvllle was employed to
go down there, succeeded in selling the
lot to Mr.. Cook, proprietor of the Sen
ate House, for $4,000. The money is now
deposited in banks waiting an order OF
court who has charge OF minor heir,
