MARTINS FERRY.
An HOnest Finder - Miscellaneous
News Notes and Gossip.

Yesterday Mrs. John Pierrot, a French
isdy residing in Bayley's addition, this
place, was in Wheeling shopping. When
on her return and while passing Logan's
drug store she tramped on a pocket-book,
She stepped back, and on noticing what
it was picked it up and examined the con-
.ents, finding there was a large sum OF
money in it. She walked on and shortly
sfterward noticed man and woman going
down street. The woman was crying. Mrs.
Pierrot asked a butcher what was the mat.
ter with them, when she received the re-
ply, They just lost four hundred and
ify dollars" She Immediately went to
them and banded the purse with the con
tents undisturbed. They counted the
money and gave the finder the sum OF one
dollar, which is very small reward for
such large sum of money. This shows
honesty on the part OF the finder. Nine
out OF ten would have poCketed the money
and kept il, or held it for reward. Mrs
PierTot did not learn the owners names.
