Last Tuesday while Helen Lewis

Last Tuesday while Helen. Lewis
aud another colored woman were at
the river catching drift wood with
spike-pole, Helen pulled in what she
thought was a block of wood, bui
when brought to the edge of the water
il proved to be a small box tightly
nailed. Helen fished 1t out and put
the box up on the bank and went on
catching wood until it was time to go
home and started to pick up the box
to take it home, when the other
woman said to her: "Look here Helen,
YOU better look in dat box-might be
splosives in it, or something dat might
make you trouble" The two women
then priced open the top of the box,
aud when they lifted the lid up, they
were almost scared speeches. The
box contained white child, about a
month or six weeks old, with black
hair. Ii could not have been in the
water much longer than two or three
days, as it asnot dis6gured4 ia any
way. Where it came from and who
did such a thing, we suppose, will re-
main mystery. Justice of the Peace
d. W. Gilmour was notified of finding
the "foater" He went TO where il
was taken out of the river, and saw
that il was buried.

My DEAR BROTHER:

My DEAR BROTHER:
As your head is that part of your
anatomy which is nearest to heaven,
it is fitting at all times that you adorn
it with good sky-piece; especially at
Easter-tide. when all the girls turn out
of their band-boxes and look as neat as
a pin. Now you know it would be a
measly shame for you to 60 to church
on Easter Sunday with that old felt on
the top of your noggin. So take the
advice of.an old bachelor like Sam
Kennedy. the Major. and an old mar
ried man. with a house full of chillun,
like Mr.. BUCK Hamilton, and come
around to The Famous, and get new
Straw Katie. Show these folks around
here that you can put something on
your head as well as in it. Do not de-
lay, brother. Come and buy you a
STRAW" and The Famous will offer
up prayer to the Two Headed-Juno
that your legs may be timber enough
to save you from.the red.hot claws of
the devil. Yours in haste.
HAMILTON & KENNEDY.
P. S.-Show this to your Pa, and tell
your Ma'to make the old man come
around. also II. & *.
