Postoffice officials have issued a warning to patrons of the parcels post to cease using tags attached to parcels. They declare there have been frequent instances where the tags had become separated from parcels, and as a result postal attachees were unable to identify the same and consequently were unable to deliver or send, as the case might be, for the reason that the name of the addressee had been placed upon the tag. The officials requested that the public be notified of this danger in using tags bearing addresses, and to place all directions upon the parcel itself, thus insuring prompt and correct delivery.

RECORDING DEEDS They Must Be Filed at Once Under the New Law. One of the most important measures passed by the last legis the one regulating the filing of deeds, mortgages and other legal instruments throughout the state. Heretofore it has been legal to file such papers anytime within forty-five days from the time of execution. Under the law as passed by the legislature the time limit for the filing of the documents has been removed, but a clause inserted that the instrument first placed on record in the office of the county recorder shall be recognized as the legal one and to have priority over all others. In other words, should a property owner execute a deed today and before the holder of the deed has the same recorded another deed shall be executed and placed on record for the same property, the instrument in the hands of the first party would be of no value. Heretofore it has been the custom of many building and loan associations, financial instutions and large reffi estate dealers to file their insffi -.ments once a month.

At the Age of 70 Years Henry C. Rains Prays for Divorce. Henry C. Rains of Helmsburg, came to Nashville last Monday and filed suit against his wife, Mary C. Rains, for divorce. In his complaint he alleges that they were married in Clinton county, Indiana, September 18,1876; that they lived together until August 20, 1912, when defendant, without any cause, separated from plaintiff, and has not returned to her home; that while he was away from home, at work, on the 20th day of August, 1912, she, without his knowledge or consent, packed and shipped her personal property from Helmsburg to Indianapolis, where she placed her goods in the home of her aunt who was, at that time keeping a rooming-house where men and women of bad repute visited and roomed, and remained there for a long time, and that when the proprietress, the aunt of the defendant, was on the point of arrest for running the house as an immoral place, the wife, Mary, abandoned the rooming house, and has since remained in Indianapolis. Mr. Rains is a carpenter and his age is 70 years, 5 months and two days.

REMARRIES THIRD WIFE Matrimonial Tangles of the Civil War Have Ended. With the granting of a divorce from his first wife and his remarriage late Saturday to his third wife, the matrimonial tangles in the life of Elbride Emerson, civil war veteran and 80 years old, have ended. Emerson first married in New Hampshire in 1857._ When war was declared he joined the Union forces and fought through the conflict. In 1868, while in Alabama, he heard through his brother that his wife was dead, and soon after he married again. The second wife died and in 1870 he moved to Jackson county, Indiana. Here he married for a third time. Two months ago a pension examiner told him that his first wife, still living in Vermont, had applied for a widow’s pension, she having heard that he had died several years ago. He at once applied for a divorce, which was granted, then he and his thi, 1 wife once more went through hie marriage ceremony. $600 EXEMPTION Man Can Sell Property Free of Liens Even if Claim Has Never Bee'. Filed. TKo JV-p.lLilv CotiL Toycxycvl the Henry circuit court in granting Emma P. M<t,cy an injunction against the sneriff of Henry county. The Appellate Court says a person can buy real estate from one who owns less than $600 and take it free from judgment and execution liens, even though the seller has never filed his affidavit claiming it as exempt, before the sale. The court quotes with f approval the following language: “Courts give a liberal construction to the law that exempts from sale on execution the property of a resident householder,' as such an act is intended to protect the insolvent debtor and his family so that they may, in the language of our Constitution, “enjoy thb necessary comforts of life.” “Guided by this principle, this court has not limited the application of our exemption statute to cases only which fall directly within its strict letter, but have applied it to all such as come within the spirit and equity of the law, so as to promote and secure the object intended.” The court holds that under the spirit of the exemption law the debtor should be allowed to sell his property free of all liens, even though he has never filed his claim of exemption, but that the eqidence should plainly show that he was entitled to it.

Finish This Story f WORKMAN in an I H C wagon factory was explaining the various stages of wagon construction to an interested visitor. He picked up two pieces of long leaf yellow pine, and asked the visitor to notice the difference in the weight of the two pieces. The lighter piece, he explained, was kiln-dried. The heavier piece was air-dried. It had retained the resinous sap which adds strength and toughness, while in the kiln-dried piece of lumber this sap had been drawn out by the too rapid application of heat. Every Stick of Lumber Used m Hi C Wagons Is Carefully Selected, Air-Dried Stock Here was something to think about. The visitor asked for a test as to the relative strength of the two pieces of wood. The airdried piece held up under nearly double the weight under which the kiln-dried piece of lumber broke. To the eye there was no difference between these two pieces of lumber, but when put to the test there was a vast difference. So it is throughout the construction of I H C wagons -- Weber, Columbus, New Bettendorf, Steel King. They are built for real strength, light draft, and satisfactory service. Weber and Columbus wagons have wood gears. Steel King and New Bettendorf have steel gears. I H C local dealers handle the wagons best suited to your work.
