tCND WATCH AND GOLD.

cite, in Lafayette County.

~4onroe Times: Israel Noel, an
Did man living at Fayette, a little
town near Darlington, was found
dead in his house by some of his
neighbors on Monday last
Noel was an eccentric old man and
lived alone in little shack away
from the travelled road. He had not
been seen by any of his neighbors for
several days, and thinking that some
thing might be wrong with him, sever
al of them went over to his house to
see what was the matter.
They found the old man dead and
Immediately took steps to have his
body prepared for burial. During
his lifetime Noel was never known to
spend anymore thar he could help,
and was supposed to have money hi d
den away somewhere around his
house or farm. He had n fine gold
waite which he always carried, and
when the body was found the watch
was missing. The men thought at
first that he might have been killed
and robbed, but could find no marks
of violence on him to carry that theO-
ry. They began to make search of
the house, and on going into the eel
lar, discovered place where the dirt
had been lately disturbed. and on
digging at that place came upon the
watch and $40, 900 in gold, the savings
of life time. The old man had felt
that the end was near, and had hidden
the watch along with his money be-
fore death had overtaken him. He

from the ebb and food tide. which al
ternate every six hours. there is also
whnt is known as spring tide. This
comes with the full of the moon. and 1t
has the effect Of making higher food
tide than any during the month. The
opposite to the spring tide is the neap
tide, and that happens at the dark OF
the moon. with the effect that at no
other tide during the month is the ebb
tide so low as 1t is at that time. The
difference in the height of water be
tween the ebb at neap tide and the
food at spring tide is considerable.
"'rhe engineer waited until neap tide.
On that day he towed number of logs
down the river. These he anchored
over the scow and sent men below to
fasten chains to one side of the scow,
the surface. Then he waited patiently.
AS the spring tide approached he tow
ed other logs down the river until he
had enough TO make quite a raft, and
on the day of the highest tide all the
logs were tied together and fastened,
The tide rose steadily, and the more 1t
rose the more the raft went down un-
der the strain of the pull on the chains.

was unequal to the occasion. 1t was
seen to bob up violently, and moment
