Cooimiaiion n were anoointtd to settle all claims of this detcriition, more commonly known by the name of Improvement Itights. A person somewhere in the county of Cape (iirardeau, being de sirous of establishing a claim of this kind to . a tract tf . land, adopted the. lollowinc method. The time having expired for the establishment of a right, agreeably to the spirit of the law, he took Wltn mm two wnnewn o ui ; voritc spot, on which he wished to e t.iblish his claim, and in their presence marked two trees, standing on opposite - . t t r sidrs of a spring, one witntne nures .... 1 r - .L '22. eh A .t . --A ibuj, ana tne omer ov-, uu piavU a stalk of growing com in the apri.ig.
