what John Adams, George Washing

Some time ago we had request
from man wanting us to search the
Morgan county records, trying to
run family tree. In our hunt we
inquired of some folks who we
thought might know something of
the family. After we had supposed
the matter was closed, we were call
ed in an interview in regard to a
million dollar estate. There seems
be some question as to where the
land is located-whether it is where
Minneapolis, Mimi, or Hackney, o.,
is situated The two families of the
county bearing the magic name don't
claim any kinship yet. Both are
feeling certain they are in line. The
wiling to be heirs seem to be in
creasing with each succeeding day
and with each repetition of the story.
Anyone wishing further information
from us will please wait until we
hear more.
In reading of the hot time the
plum venders are having over the
coming count of y. S. folks, our
minds wander back to 1900 when
five or six young men rode horse
back to the county seat and took the
civil service examination for enumer-
ator Afterwards we learned that
one of our number had the plum in
his pocket when he went in. We
are not in shape to tell you right
now who will count Bristol but we
have been interviewed and we would
advise anyone thinking of taking
the test, to be sure you have the
ribbon in your pocket before you
make application to take the test.
