A Pretty Story

The Fayetteville Observer Of Mon
day says:
Last week in Wilmington at a dance
a young lady present lost a handsome
diamond ear ring, valued at two hum
dred dollars, and it could not be found
anywhere.
"The Wilson Times gives an interest
ing account of how it was found. Miss
Kate Hawley, of this city, was pres
ent and while she was dancing some
n called her attention to a glittering
object in the folds of her dress. Miss
Hawley at once recognized it as the
ear ring lost at a dance in Whining
ton week before last, at which she
was present. She had worn this same
dress t~wice-once in Wilson and once
in Fayetteville-since the diamond had
lodged in it's hem or ruffe arll it is the
greatest wonder it was not lost. 1t was
found purely by accident and return
ed to it's owner by registered mail Fri
day."
