THE COUNTY NEWS.
Edwards, claiming property in
New York City, miich is worth
$400,000,000. They claim that
over two hundred years ago one
of their ancestors leased land in
New York to certain parties for
a period of ninety-nine years
and after that time elapsed the
property, together with the im- j
provements thereon, should re
vert to his heirs. The lease ex
pired over one hundred years,
ago, but only about a year ago j
did the heirs discover anything
concerning the nature of the
lease, hence the late hour at
which they ciaim the property.
The property is now in the heart
of New York City. The Ed
wards heirs think they now
have all the papers and proofs
necessary to recover the prop
erty and are taking steps to no
so, Mr. Wm. Edwards, of Green
ville, going North last week for
that purpose. Rev. W. E. G.

Among Chicago's industries is a fac
tory where the manufacture of shoes for
corpses is carried on exclusively.
Out of five neat b ack boxes a repre
sentative of the fim. yesterday teek as
many di fferent sizes. These were adults'
and children’s shoes. The material cor
responds with the purpose of their use.
The shoes are certainly nice to took at.
The soles are cut out of pasteboard and
are covered with giained paper. The
uppers are a combination of quilted
satin and crochet work. A ribbon, in
serted at the top and tied in a neat bow-
knot, holds the shoe-to the foot.
“Men’s shoes are always black,” it
was said. “Occasionally we turn out a
lot of brown ones. We have had special
orders for men s white shoes, but only
in a few instances. Shoes for women
and children are always white. They
are not expensive; fire to fifteen dollars
will purchase a dozen pairs.”
The burial shoe is a patented article.
It was designed by a Joliet (Ills.) woman
milliner, whs now e ijoys the profits of
her idea. The Chic ago company has
been in existence fur nearly a decade,
