AN UNUSUAL SETTLEMENT

After 25 Years, Henry County Man Paid Money Borrowed of Friend.

The National Road Traveler, of Lewisville, tells of an extraordinary settlement that occurred there as follows: "While running through some old private account books at his home a few weeks ago, Henry Bateman noticed one page that failed to balance. An item of $3 was a loan secured of P. L. Vickery, while attending a Blaine-Logan rally in Cambridge City almost 25 years ago, which had never been repaid, and each of the two had forgotten the transaction

For the past two weeks Mr. Bateman has 'been attempting to see Mr. Vickery and pay him the amount. On Tuesday afternoon the gentlemen met near the Traveler office and balanced the account. After being told the circumstances Vickery remembered' of letting Bateman have the money. We heard the entire conversation from our sanctum, and thought it good enough to publish. How many business men in the country wish we had more Henry Batemans and fewer deadbeats?
