Saving the Finger

JHLlIY nearly everybody Is maxi

crochet lace. so that any informal
ton on this interesting subject Is usu-
ally received with joy.
The inexperienced find that the sharp
end Of the crochet needle pricks their
fingers and that they. for this reason.
cannot keep UP the work very long at
time. The best way to overcome this
difficulty is to wear tiny piece of court
plaster ever the tip of the finger where

Reinforcing Lace Insertion

THOR the economical girl who is fond
of lingerie waists and who likes
d much insertion upon them. it Is a
very good idea TO reinforce the lace with
a little strip of net. This will not show,
and 1t will undoubtedly prevent the lace
from pulling and will prolong the life
of the blouse by years. not days. Any
good wash net will do. and it may be
either sewn on with the lace or it may
be afterward sewn on the other side by
hand.
Badly torn places in lace may fire.
Quently be mended with little net, and
the result is exceptionally good

Y you remember that I told you last
" week that l would picture each
Sunday a design for a dainty
christmas gift. OF course, the
humber of articles which may be
quickly put together are somewhat
limited. and am picking out for you
the most satisfactory things / can find.
Last week 1 gave you bureau scarf
and pincushion design. with which
think you We're all pleased. This week
I am showing you opera bags. that is
to say. little designs for convenient
bags. in which one would carry ones
opera glasses. theater tickets, handker-
chief and such little feminine necessl-
ties. Without a bag OF this kind where
could q woman put the many things
which she must carry when she goes
out in the evening? Bearing this in
mind, 1 have chosen for you the dam
test bags I could find.

make the following corrections, to-
wit:
1t has reached my ears that GER
tain one of your county officials has
and is still circulating the report to
the people OF Madison county, and
especially those to whom have adj
dressed notices concerning Patents
covering their lands, that this is a
IN oney making scheme between my
self and Mr.. Martin, the Clerk Of the
Court, aud to them / want TO say: ]
am abstracting the records Of Madi-
son county preparatory to putting in
an Abstract Office here, and in start
ing this work / had to 60 through
the Land Office at Gainesville to
find out what Patents had not been
delivered that covered land in Madi
son county, and finding a great many
not called for ] made a list OF same
separately from my regular abstract
books and compared SAID list With
the Tax Book % your county to find
out who the owners are of the land
embraced in said Patent, and after
finding out the owners Of said land
l addressed a card to-eaeh notifying
them that there is patent covering
their land in the Land Office and if
they would call on me in the Court
House | would explain bow the Pa
tent can be procured. This will have
to be done by making an affidavit be-
fore some officer, that tie person
making said affidavit is the true and
bona fide owner of said land which
has to be described In said affidavit,
giving number of Receivers Receipt,
and for taking said affidavit, the law
allows me 25c and for furnishing
postage, writing letters aud deliver
ing Patents to proper owner l charge
scots making a total of 10 cts. wish
to state that il 1 could include mere
than one Patent in one affidavit 1
would do so, but my Instructions
from Hon. H. S. Chubb, Register Of
U. S. Land Office is that each Patent
must have separate affidavit to
take the place of the original
Receivers Receipt issued. If the
parties want their Patent recorded
and want 20 pay the whole cost to
me 1 collect 81 rs which pays 81 ,O0I
recording fee and 75cts my charges
as above, and when l turn said Pa
tent over to Mr.. Martin also pay hin
the Sl.oO collected for that purpose
and this is what he says he charges
everybody for -ecording Patent.
/ sent out those notices simply to
let the owners of the land know
where the original Patent is and to
give them chance to get same if
they so desire. If they don't want
chem all well and good, there is no
compulsion or attempted compulsion
on my part to have them taken up.
/ alwsys considered it necessary to
show foundation OF Title from Gov
/ presume Mr.. Martin
appreciates all the recording which
he can get to do. As the principal
amount he gets out Of the Office is
for recording, and il the person filing
Patent with him for record has not
got tue recording fee in cash. 4
don't think he has ever refused any
