WIND-UP or cHAEcERY COURT.
Final Batch Of Cases Disposed Of
adjournment Had Late Wednes-
day Afternoon.

i
Chancellor o. B. Taylor finally
adjourned the April term of Chan
Gerry Court late Wednesday after
noon, after having disposed of ar
unusually long docket.
1t was ordered that the set o1
Abstract Books now in the Clerk s
office and many years ago purchas.
ed of Mr.. Felix May by the County
be made public records of the
County. This order was made
necessary because these abstract
books contain much information
about land titles in this county
that could not otherwise be estab-
lished in the courtsS owing to the
fact that the Court House and all
public deed records were twice de-
stroyed by fire, once in 1883, and
again on November 9th, 1898.
These abstract books at the time
of the last fire were owned by Mr..
Felix May, then Chancery Clerk,
and were not in the court house
when the fire occurred. Soon af-
terward these books were bought
by the Board of Supervisors, and
have never until now been legally
and formally made public deed
records. Hence in so many cases
heretofore it has been impossible
to prove good record titles to
lands. This trouble has now been
removed and these abstract books
will be received in evidence just
| like any other deed records. So,
| it is that Chancellor Taylor has
done a substantial service to the
people of the county.
