AFTER GOLD SEEN IN A DREAM

There is lady living near the Sea board
Air Line round house that for five con-
secutive nights dreamed that there was
a pot of money buried on the side of a
portion OF II old trolley which runs
through the Seaboard Air Line prop
erty just side of the round house She
claims that the spot was revealed to her
and If she would get some one 10 dig
there she would find the money. She
notified n gentleman of he. dream, and
the two went To the place and went to
work. They had succeeded in digging
hole large enough TO bury horse and
cart when the owners OF the property
made them stop and fill It up. The
Nirglnian reporter went there yesterday
ana saw nun OF boys hanging
around the hole aXniously awaiting for
the money to come out of the ground.
The lady is still of the opinion to-day
that She could find the money 1t may
be an insane idea, but she does not

"A SLICK BoAIRDEI,.

About three weeks ago young man
giving the name Of Bowie applied 1T
the residence OF -Irs. Kate Smith. 1856
Henry street, for lodging. The man
was we'll dressed and claimed that his
nome was In Washington, D. c., and
Chat lie had d brother OH the Port Nor
folg Electric Railway. After q good
deal of persua.ion Mrs Smith took
the man In. and he proved himself very
agreeable to u good many residents In
that vicinity.
Yesterday morning the lady notified
MIN that, as he could not pay his board,
ne would have to vacate his room. He
old so, but with him went an overcoat
valued at $780, pair of trousers valued
at Sl2, and lot of underwear which
belonged to a boarder in the house.
The clothes were locked In a closet and
with a false key the man effected an
entrance. A valuable watch. which be-
longed to the ladys deceased husband,
was also stolen.
There Is no clue to where Bowie went,
but he slated that he was going to
Philadelphia. He looked to be abou; %
years Of age was well dressed, but wore
no overcoat.
Inquiry al the Port Norfolk Railway
Office showed that no man by the name
OF Bowie was employed by that COM
pany.
Mrs. Smith is deserving widow, and
such treatment will do her much harm.

TROUBLE IN THE CHURCH..

AT u regular business meeting Of Cal
vary Baptist Church. Scottsvllle, held
Friday night. the deacons of the church
were asked TO resign, no charges being
preferred but simply for the good of the
church. The whole trouble seems to be
centered on the resignation of the pas
tor Rev. p. S. G. Davis. which was ten
dered last Sunday at the morning SER
vice. but which was not accepted, by 4
majority vote. 1t seems to be the inn
preston of the majority OF The members
that the deacons were instrumental In
causing Mr.. Davis to act in the matter,
and In his absence the weight OF the
diAapproval fell on the deacons.
Just what the outcome will be cannot
be told until Mr.. Davis returns from his
trip to Pennsylvania.
