In the Ground Year.
Represtative w. B. Love has recovered
a gold watch that he lost q year ago
While plowing in piece Of bottom lant
on April 5, 1895, the watch slipped out o
his pocket unnoticed. 1t was sometime
before the loss was discovered, and then
careful search proved fruitless. Th
same bottom was plowed up again ol
March 80 last, and during the plow
ing, the watch turned up. "Was it still
running?" asked a bystander. NO
replied Representative Love; "but
wound it up and it run about six hours,
have since taken it to matchmaker, ant
he says there is nothing the matter wit
it except that it needs cleaning out"
