Troy Chief, l..
When it comes to robbing corner stones II
is sign that the hard times are beginning u
press upon those who h. an ambition tt
live without work although II would seen
to a casual observer, that digging out the cor
ner stone of large brick building, In coiu
stormy night, is very nearly as hard WORK u
honest day labor. When the foundation o
the Troy scnool house was built, the odc
Fellows laid the corner stone, and amons
other things placed in it, were some coih'
and Golden emblems. On Sunday morning
II was discovered that somebody hac, durins
the previous night, attempted 10 dig OUT th'
corner stone, doubtless TO secure the coih'
and trinkets. The job was not completed
but enough was done TO cause the walls Il
crack in the vicinity. AS the perpetrator
this attempt is evidently person OF courage
We suggest that he spend his nights IN soih'
grave yard, digging for the gold rings ina
may have been left on the fingers of deaf
pe.sDns.
