1t was reported to IT'S late last week
that Mr.. X. u. Akin of Sassafras Neck,
lost his pocket book, while in this town,
containing nearly $40, and several bills.
Mr.. Aiken says that he is positive that
he lost the pocket book between the
Deer Park Hotel and Mr. Wright's. The
lost article contained the name of Mr..
Akin, and the party who found this
purse knew who it belonged to and ought
to return it to the rightful owner. Mr.
; Akin looked for the lost pocket book
: the next morning and found one of the
bills which evidentally was thrown away
by the person who found it. We arc
sorry that the person who found it did
not return it, as it makes strangers think
our town contains bad characters. On the
other hand, if we have done an injustice
= in accusing any one wrOngfully, we arc
truly sorry. Undoubtedly the person
, who has this money will return it to Mr.
Aiken and receive the reward offered
$40. Mr.. A. is IN industrious, hard-work
ing man, and S4j is quite sum nova
+, days, and the loss falls quite heavily
We sincerely hope the money will b,
returned.
