4 WONDERFUL DAY.
HOW he WON OUT.
He Got the Half-Dollar.
Selected.


One OF the BEST dog stories which has
been told in a long time is related in
The Nashville Banner. The narrator oi
The anecdote was driving in town in
Mississippi with the owner ci the dog.
70 show the animals cleverness he got
out OF the carriage, held his pocket
book to the dogs nose, and then taking
thereirom a hali-dollar, hid it under q
'arge rock. The men drove on for a
hslf-mile, and then the dog was COM
handed to fetch the hali-do1lar.
The animsl without the least hesita-
Ion, started back on a run, and my
friend explained that as the rock was
heavy the dog would be unable to turn
it over. so would have to scratch under
It to reach the piece Of money, and it
would naturally take him some time
It did, for he had not appeared wien
ve retired, about ten O'Clock.
Early the next morning We heard a
sharp bark at the door. When the
ioor wss opened in rushed the &, Z.
iragging with him a pair of trouse rs
which he dropped on the floor.
OF course we were mystifed, but the
explanation soon came In the shape OF
neighbor who lived several miles dis
ant. He rode up on a mule, and in
luired if dog with pair of trousers
IN his mouth had come into the
rouse. just then the pointer walked
,at on the porch, and the man ex-
claimed, Why, there's the dog now"
The caller said that late in the after
loon of the day before he found the
log scratching under large rock near
ne read, and thinking he was after
rabbit, stopped and lifted the rock up
md to his surprise found a half-doIlar
Underneath. He put the money h
1ls pocket, and the dog followed him
rome. The dog appeared to be friend
y. and the man petted him and gave
Am bis supper.
At night when the family retired
be dog was put out OF doors, but he
Kept up such a racket that no one on
The place could sleep, and when the
nan opened the door to drive the ami.
nal away he rushed into the bedroom
ind at once became quiet He lay
lown near the foot OF the bed slept
here all night.
Eearly in the morning, the man said,
ne got up and opened the window, and
he instant he did SO the dog seized bis
srousels and jumping out the window,
lied with them. The man followed ab
soon as he could get his mule.
OF course my friend searched the
pockets of the trousers which the dog
had brought, and there found the hall
iollar.

NOTHING DOING PosToFFIcE.
That Appointment Still Continues
Withheld.

That long expected appointment of
postmaster of Americas seems perma-
nently pigeon-holed at Washington
despite the general belief that the va
cancy existing for two months would
very soon be filled. The petition cir
culated here by friends of Mr.. Henry
Wetteroth has doubtless been sent to
Washington already. In the mean
while the duties of postmaster are be-
ing ably discharged by Assistant
Postmaster F. P. Mitchell, who is
himself an applicant for the position
made vacant by the death of Post
master Smith, and with excellent pros
poets of getting the appointment.

Citizen Loses His Purse and Small
Amount

Some of the light-fngered gentry,
the pickpockets, got in their work yes
terday while the.streets were jammed
with people. Mr.. Philo Smith was re-
lieved of his wallet, containing small
sum, while an old negro had his purse,
containing the proceeds of bale of
cotton, stolen from him. Mr.. Smith
had just cashed check for 1925, but
luckily he put this money in his inside
vest pocket and saved it. The police
were vigilant, and this fact served to
restrain the thieves to some extent.

bride jewel box, and on opening It
found five ten-dollar gold pieces, making
the bride equal to the bridegroom.
The children of Mr.. and Mrs. Madi-
son remembered their parents with a
ptirse of $25. The only relatives present
were Mrs. Pascoe, their daughter, and
Miss Louise. their granddaughter.
A number of friends of the couple
came in the afternoon and congratu-

ROOT HOLLOW HAS
TROUBLES OF ITS OWN
Matrimonial Mix-Up That Is Rec.
ord Breaker-Causes the Arrest
Of One Man for Bigamy.

Root Hollow, in Wyoming county,
has a matrimonial mix-up that is caus-
ing all kinds Of conjecture and excite
ment in that quiet community.
Sixteen years ago Miss Ida Cooper, of
Root Hollow. was wooed, won and
welded by George Camp, of Lemon,
also in Wyoming county. A daughter
was born to them, who lives with the
after the marriage, Camp disappeared
and about eleven years ago his wife
was notified by his mother that he had
died in a Western state.
Mrs. Camp supposed herself widow,
and when, some time later, Coray AL
len asked her if she would, she said
yes and she was married for the second
time.
Several children resulted from this
union and everything went we'll until
last summer, when Allen left his wife
and last November married Alice Cap
well, a widow, without the forma.ity of
securing divorce.
Yesterday Mrs. Camp-Alle appeared
before Justice of the Peace w. S. Kutz.
Of unkhannock, and swore out war.
rant for the arrest of Allen on charge
Of bigamy. At the hearing, Allen
called several Of Camps relatives, who
testified that he is not dead and that
he paid visit to friends at Factory
Vile last winter. Upon this showing,
Allen was discharged and a search is
now to be made for Camp.
Mrs, Camp-Allen has two families.
but no husband and Allen has two
wives, one real and the other only an
alleged widow.

PROPERTY OWNERS TO
RESIST PAYMENT
Believe That Under Sturges Decision
the North Main Avenue Pave
Is Unjust.

A number of North Main avenue
property owners yesterday took legal
steps to resist the payment of the
portion of the cost assessed against
them, on the ground that the assess
ment was not properly made. inasmuch
as it provides not only for the payment
ing it-in repair for period of ten
years.
The Supreme court decided in the
Sturges case recently that the city cam
not ask the property owner to assume
the cost of keeping the pave in repair,
which it virtually does when it makes
the contract with the understanding
that they must keep the pave in repair
for a specified length of time.
Those who began proceedings yester-
day We're William Bright, Thomas f.
Reese, Edward Roderick and the
Uriah Mcdonnell estate. The latter has
two cases. All of the above are repre-
sented by Attorneys II. S. Alworth
and Charles r. Oliver. City Solicitor
Watson, when seen after the suits We're
begun, said:
"There is between $4,000 and $50,OO0
still due on the North Main avenue
pave, but this amount is protected by
liens. The people of that thoroughfare
wanted a pave, they were given pave
and l say to you that they will pay
for that pave. The litigants are look
ing for loophole to escape the pay
ment of their share of that great i'm
provement. They will be convinced
later that they cannot avoid the pay
ment of a just claim in that way"
