. DG" MIR. Daniel S. Rentch of this
town, called to see Col. Daniel Dechert,
editor of the "Spi'a of The VaHey," at
Harrisonburg, Va, few days ago, who
speaks of Mr. Rentch as follows -
A Big HAUL.-Last week, an old-time
West Virginia friend, ID. Rentch of Shep-
herdstown called upon us and in his hand
he carried package which was ''said to
contain $4,000 in notes and bonds,
which fact was as ''true rs preaching"
Dan had been to the First National bank
i'm this place, where the haul had been
made, he having made the deposit in the
old Bank during the war. The package
bore marks of the fire, it having been in
the conflagration that swept the old Bank
building away when it stood where the
building in which the Spirit office is now
located in 1870. The haul was big one,
in figures, but when the fact is known
that the package had Confederate smell,
the value of it diminishes very consider
ABLY. 1t was bad time to bring old notes
and bonds to the surface, on the heels of
such an election as we just passed through.
Maybe some OF our debt-paying last dol
lar men would have made a bid for the
package, which securing they should sell
again TO McCulloch Il Co., who are par
tial to Southern securities and no doubt
would like to have 'em.

There is no reason why our citizens
should not do likewise. All that is requir-
