A COINCIDENCE.

Mr.. Walter Pittman showed MS
letter this week from Mr.. Robert l..
Move, of Georgia, acknowledging the
receipt from Mr.. Pi,tman of fifty
cent piece of peculiar value aud in-
tercst TO both parties. II seems that
Walter and Mr.. Moye were old friends
and schoolmates in their earlier days.
Mr.. Move once took fifty-cent piece
and stamped upon it his name, and
sent il out into the world, wondering
if il would ever return 10 him i'll after
wears through the channels of business.
The two school mates parted, one sell
Ting in their native state, the other
coming 10 Lake Providence. A few
weeks ago Mr.. Pittman took in hall
dollar and noticed on it the name OF
his friend. The idea struck him that
his friend had sent this half dollar
travelling around the world with the
hope that it would eventually come
back to him. 80 lie immediatel,
enclosed it in letter to him, explain
ing the circumstances of its falling
into his hands. Sure enough, ii provet
! 10 be the identical piece his friend hat
stamped his name upon years before
II seems remarkable that after goiDs
perhaps all over the country, il shoui'
turn up In the hands of an old com
panion, to be sent back to the owner
Mr.. Pittman says that bis friend ha
marked another half dollar an
started it out travelling, with instrut
