About thirty years ago, during the
troublesome war times, Mrs. j. X.
Henry. of Greenville, Ala, buried all
her iewelry in box in the garden
Of her house at that place. After the
war was over she tried to recover her
treasure, but had forgotten the eX-
act place where she had hidden it,
aud, though every foot of the garden
was carefully dug over, the box could
not be found. She concluded thieves
had stolen it. The property changed
hands. and in time Mrs. Henry ceased
to think of her lost jewels. A week
ago workmen were laying new walks
in the old garden and unearthed the
jewels. Mrs. Henry was notified, and
after she had proved that it was her
property by furnishing an exact list
OF the contents of the box, the treas
ure was turned over to her intact.
