These arc just nalf of the grants on
Pianketank We think they will be
better assimilated in broken doses
We hate to draw g quadruped and
write underneath "Thls Is horse!"
We also dislike very much to present
to our readers piece of work and
then proceed to explain the value OF
the same. However. we can but remark
that this catalogue OF the landed pos
sessions of the early settlers of a
county Is unique. and 1t really Is .
historical revelation accomplished no.
where yet except In Gloucester and
only the remarkable perseverance, of
Mrs. w. G. Stubs could have accom-
plished If. We Will take up these early
families In our next paper and tell
something about them.
