James and Elizabeth must have had plenty time, paper and ink the day ihcv executed this deed, for if that deed missed any of the "granted, sold and conveyed" and "appurtances” and •appertaining to’s" we have not been able to discover that lapse. In that deetl James stipulated that, bargainci, granted, sold, alienated, released, conveyed and confirmed all his right, title, interest, claim, demand whatever in law and in equity of in and to the said premises and also every part thereof together with all and singular the privileges and appurtances to the name belonging or in anywise appertaining to the same and the rents and profits thereof to have and to hold the said premises thereby, bargained, and sold or meant or intended so to be with the appurtances to the onlyproper use. benefit and behoof of the said party.” There you have it, just exactly and unconditionally and particularly what Janies sold. Perhaps James did believe it necessary to put all that stuff in but might have lieen forced to do so by Eli. Eli might have insisted on the words “the use and benefit and behoof" being put in, because from what we have heard of Eli of the old times, Eli was very liable to have insisted on several things. Now. it was just as plain as plain could be that Eli got every blessed thing that James had in and around that real estate but may we ask, what the dickens did James have anyway? We have it from an eye witness (an old gentleman who now has his sec- [ ond sight and who acquired this par- ! ticular knowledge from his own father) that that land conveyed in said deed at the time of said conveyance was absolutely naked as far as having any adornment thereon placed thereon by any human hands. That in reality and in fact the land so conveyed amounted to seventy-three acres (not to say anything of the Kekionga river, which cut the land almost amidships) and bvas within a atone s throw of what is now and what was then to be Decatur, Adams coun- J ty, Indiana. We inquired therefore, nautrally to what and for whyfore was the said deed cluttered up with “together with all and singular the privileges and appurtances to the same belonging or in anywise appertaining." Now, there may have been and probably was nothing particularlymeant by those profound legal inconsequentials, yet on the other hand Perhaps there was. The deal was made in the fall of the year and the hickory nuts were in bloom also were |

the butternuts and walnuts etcetera. Eli must have had method when lie Insisted, If he did, that everything bo plainly set forth. The glorious October days were tinting earth anti sky and nil the inhabitants thereof and Eli was no doubt enraptured, exalted and desirous. Yellow to golden had become the elm, beech, honey locust, chestnut, red ush mid hickory; the black walnut, butterfly, white beech and poplars were green and yellow; the alder. silver maple and willows yellowed, and the suniachs, red oaks, white oaks, flowering dogwood and hazel nut were a mass of scarlet and crimson. The sassafras and red sugar maples were all shades of purple, crimson, scarlet, orange and yellow. In truth and in fact that sev-enty-three acres was a mass of color, beautiful beyond compare. The elms and oaks towered heavenward and joined mapesticallv in the carnival. Besides all this, every tree had its squitrel, every hole its rabbit and every trysting place its deer. Friend Hipes conveyed to friend Eli great and marvelous wealth on that day of Inng ng". Besides conveying those broad acres which were also four thousand miles deep and a million miles high, these "appurtances - ’ were transferred: Slippery elm. water elm. yellow elm, white elm, shell bark hickory, white hickory, pip nut hickory. water beech, yellow lieech. honey locust, black locust, chestnut, willows, yellow poplar, sugar maple, white maple, quaking aspen, hack- I berry, pawpaw, red haw black haw, sarvis. june berry, burr oak. pin oaks, sweet oaks, red oaks, butternut, walnut, sycamores, spice woods, rotten-. woods, prickly ash, white ash. black ash, calico ash, linden, buckeye, mulberry, crab apples, wild cherry, wild plum, red bud, iron wood, pine black raspberry, red raspberry, wild grapes, blackberries, dewberries, wild currant, wild gooseberries, witch hazel, hawthorne. sumachs, red ossier, bitter syeet, ginseng, Indian turnips, spikenard. Solomon's seal, and a considerable bunch of may apples. For the whole doggone thing Eli, paid that man the sum of one hundred' and twenty dollars. The record says, so. and presumably James got the money. Besides that Eli bought isolation and solitude. He could go onto that seventy-three acres and commune alone with nature, if he wanted to, and no one could say him nay. As far as that is concerned he could so commune most anywhere within an area of ten miles of that place. At any rate Eli had paid and Mr. Dailey had put the paper of record | by gosh. Many years have .passed. Where. , O’ where, may we ask, has gone all that glory of autumnl beauty? Sawmills. my boy, and the hungry axe levied their destructive toil. What good did it do Eli to insist on ‘‘appurtances" being put in that deed? We cannot answer but perhaps and maybe before the years to come shall have equaled the years since that , deed was made a love of nature and its growing glories shall have silenc- J
