A stone pile ought to be provided for such worthies. In publishing the provisions of the Mrs. Lougfhridge will in Saturday’s Democrat, an error was made regarding the bequest of land in I nion tp., to decedent's granddaughter, Miss Majorie Loughridge. She gets an undivided one-half interest in said 453 acres of land instead of the entire tract. The error in reporting this came about through the item referring to said bequest not stating in itself who the other one-half was to go to and the overlooking of the words “undivided One-half” just before the description of the lands. Another paragraph in the closing part of the will bequeaths all the remainder of decedent’s property, both real and personal, to decedent’s daughter, Blanche Chapman, which, of course, includes the other one-half of the above 453 acres of land, although it is not so specifically stated.
