100 Got Contracts

The line of walters in front of room
II, Northrup bank Wednesday night,
kept in place until the opening hour
next morning. Most of them had
chairs, arranged in row, and about
fifty kept in line all night. In order
to prevent the weariness resulting
from a rigid sitting in the chairs all
night by mutual consent the walters
left their chairs at will, the place
being reserved to the original occu-
pant.
AT one place a game of seven-upwas
energetcially waged for many hours,
andlmany of the walters had books to
read. Some slept in chairs, most of
them being young men who could sleep
standing up.
One reason for the unusual exertion
was the fact that after a certain num-
ber each applicant had right to take
out three contracts. One of these,
numbered about II in line stated that
he was offered $l5 each for his con-

Mr.. G. T. lie Hunt, in his annual
report on British New Guinea for
1900, according to the London Ex-
press, says:
lowing to the introduction into
Samara from Cooktown of the
whooping cough by two white chill
dren, the vessel having clean bill
of health, though the sickness was
rife at Cooktown at the time, lives
innumerable have been and are be-
ing sacrificed to blunder, which
may be compared to the fatal intro
duction of measles--a child's COM
plaint-into FIJI, resulting in an esti-
mated loss of 10000 natives.
IN this case, unfortunately, there
was no medical officer at Samara, and
no one realized the danger from that
center of traffic. The malady spread
with frightful rapdity, and swept
first the coasts, and is now ravaging
the interior.
But the mischief does not end
there, for, as each village is attacked
and as no death can in the belief
of the natives be the result of any
natural cause, but must have been
compassed by some unknown enemy,
who can only be discovered by witch-
craft, the sorcerer is at once consult
ed, and some unfortunate village or
some other tribe is designated as the
culprit. and midnight massacre OF
innocent people is the result"

The Importance Of public Records.

How many of our readers have ever
considered what the records of the court
house are worth to them and how much
interest they actually have in the proper
preservation of the same? Our court
house was burned in 1873 and owing to
the fact that the records were not kept
in fire proof vaults these records were
totally destroyed. The owners of land
since that time have had to depend for
their title upon the abstract books of
the Leon Loan & Abstract Co., and as
there are not competent evidence of
title in the courts the result has been
that great portion of the real estate in
the county has had to go through
court. Its fair estimate to say that
the loss of those records has cost the
prople of Decatur county in the last
thirty years half million dollars.
There are in round numbers approx
mately three hundred and fifty thousand
acres of land in Decatur county. 1t is
safe to say that the expense of addi.
tional abstracts, court proceedings, and
re-recording of deeds has cost on an
average more than dollar an acre on
this land. We may never have another
fire and we may.
The destruction of our public records
at this time would be calamity to the
people of Decatur county as much
greater as that of 1873 as the value of
real estate is greater now than it was
then. Do you think it is good business
policy to take the chances of any such
misfortune? You insure your homes
and your live stock, you are equally in.
terested IN the safety of the public rec.
ords. Nothing Injuries piece of prop.
erty when you go to sell 1t as some
question about the title.
1t you had nothing in the matter ex-
cept this question of title will it not pay
every land owner in Decatur county to
pay the two or three dollars year
necessary to be paid by him in extra tax
for few years in order to assure the
safety of his title? This is simply q
business proposition.
If our records were burned again your
or your grantees in the course of thirty
years would be at some time or other
paying lawyer and the courts sum OF
money varying from fifteen to hun.
dred dollars to quiet the title to your
premises so that you could sell the land
or procure loan or for some other pur.
pose connected with the title and you
would think you got out of the difficulty
pretty cheap at that.
The assessed valuation of the real
estate in Decatur county is approx
mately fifteen million dollars. The cost
OF the court house when you come to
take out the extra assessment of the
towns, will not be over ten cents an
acre upon the lands throughout Decatur
county. Don't you think it would be
good policy to pay this ten cents an
acre to assure the safety of your titles?
This looks to us like business PROPOSE.

"Reminiscences.

The demolition of the old schoolhouse
at Leon brings to the memories of the
old as we'll as the young many days of
pleasure and profit spent within its
walls.
Many remember what zeal was awak.
ened in educational interests when the
election Of county superintendent was
taken from political parties and we of
the g. o. p. hesitated about the first
lady superintendent, she having a
brother who was q democrat and they
had never been known to quarrel.
Those lady superintendents proved
equal to the emergency and those who
came after them.
The old high school room was often
filled to its utmost capacity during
teachers conventions where methods
new and old were discussed by those
competent for the task.
Normal institutes were attended by a
large number of e1-teachers and friends
of education. Some may remember the
humorous spelling contests.

ing when Miss Dye succeeded Miss Kel.
loge as superintendent. The latter paid
a graceful tribute to her mother in her
last words. Again when Miss Dye
closed her labors she said good words
for the school principals and those who
had treated her with condescension and
courtesy, notably Prof. Hardness. Who
more than he could afford to be gener-
GUS? The ideal teacher, possessing the
esteem and confidence of all who know
how much he has done for those under
his instruction here, where his life work
was begun. We cannot weigh down
your columns with the names of those
with whom we parted then for the last
time. We see them with mortal eye no
more, which reminds us of our own
mortality. One whose presence was
priced in these deliberations, intelli-
gence, dignity of manners, abilities and
virtues do honor to his memory, has
recently gone to his final repose. The
pale messenger laid bis hand on an ac-
complished life. His memory is honored
and respected, our venerable friend, Mr..
