cover the loss until he arrived at Lake Mary,
the location OF the camp. The loss worried him
not a little and during the night, while wrapped
in slnmber profound, he dreamed that Louie
Meisler found the lost treasure. Frank. as q
usual thing. does not place much confidence In
dreams. but this one was uppermost In his mind
reaching town was 20 find Louie Meisler and
question him regarding the discovery. Sure
enough, strange as II may seem, Louie produced
aud his actions at the time of the find were ex-
actly In accordance with Franks dream.
WHILE engaged in making improve
ments about the city why do not the authorities
do something In the way OF providing this town
with decent jail OF proper proportions 20 NC

My FRIEND John Kimball is quite a
base ball enthusiast. and plays 20 cd game, too.
He aud Sumner Hopkins and Lon Parks are
anxious for another bout with the Florence bus
mess men. and I'll wager dollars against an eight
day dog that the Florence fellows will learn
some things about ba ~ ball they never dreamed
OF II ever they again play With our business men.
