Lafayette's Lands.

When Lafayette came to the United
States in 1924, at the invitation or
congress, that body, on December 2S
OF that year, voted hing 4 grant OF
100000 in money and township OF
land to be located under the authority
Of the president on any inappropriate
ed public lands. This location was
made in what was then known as
West Florida and contained 23,O2S.b3
acres. The city Of Tallahassee stands
upon a part Of the land SO located.
The patent for the land was issued on
July 4, 1925, and presented to Lafay-
cite in person by George Graham or
Virginia then the commissioner or
the general land Office Prior to 1928,
congress, by act of March 3, 1903, au-
thorized the secretary of war to issue
to Major General Lafayette warrants
for II 500 acres Of land, and by act of
March q, 1904, authorized him to To-
cate the warrants in what was then
known as the territory of Orleans.
The location was accordingly made on
the west bank OF the Mississippi, in
the parish Of Pointe Coupee, in the
present state of Louisiana. Patents
tC these lands were issued to Lafay-
cite early in 1870 1t is known that
he sold the Louisiana lands, and sup
posed that he did the same with tle
Florida lands-Detroit Free Press.

QuAiNTEST VILLAGE IN The LAND
Queer little Town III Ohio Where Eng
Ii.h l. Never Spoaen.


There is ore village in the United
States where no modern Improvement
has ever penetrated, where not the
faintest echo Ui the rush anu oyerWork
of modern life has ever sounded,
where American newspapers are not
read nor the English language spoken.
This is the little German village OF
Glandoff in Putnam county, Ohlo,
where zoe frugal ana industrious IN
habitants have lived ,or years in
contentel and iIyllia simplicity.
In the building Of the town, IS II
everything else about il, the people
have held very closely to the customs
of Germany, from whore its foun 1ers
came. There is but one street, and
that extends for over a mile, general
" north and south. Quaint, durable
and homelike are the houses scattered
along either side. interspersed here
and there by the stores. All the resi-
Aences have spacious and well-kept
L0Cryards. Back and away from this
principal strcCt-yct so near that the
laborers can be seen and heard at
their work in the fields-stretch the
thrifty farms OF the German country
folk. 1t is rot an uncommon sight to
see women and girls at work IN tAe
fields with the men, and the whole
population shows that rugged health
SO characteristic OF the race.
Among themselves the people con-
verse almost entirely in the German
language, and, indeed, there are
great many in the community who can
speak no other. They are generous
and clever, and the stranger who goes
among them always finds a hospitable
welcome, and is impressed with their
simple kindness. Nowhere can be
found a more devoutly religious peo-
pie. They are of the Catholic faith.
and possess one of the finest church
buildings in Northwestern Ohio.
This edifce has in itself been means
Of making Glandorf famous, because
oe It's size and the beauty Of its archi'
lecture. Although most Of the work
c. construction, the cuarrying OF the
stone for the foundation and the haul
ing Of the material was given gratis
by members of the parish, the cost
outside Of all this was over $4,000.
The structure is of brick and Is orna-
merted with white sandstone.
Back of the church is the convent,
and all Of the work Of the farm con-
nected with it is looked after by the
sisters.
The people of the parish are very
strict in their church duties.
