Fl. Myers Press; Six years ago jas.
K. Hendry lost silver watch and solid
gold chain, near a pond, a short dis
lance back from where CampbelPs saw
mill is now located. Mr.. Hendry was
separating some cattle at the time and
a search by himself and the men with
him failed to discover the lost watch.
The other day Ezekiel Campbell found
the watch and chain on the edge OF the
pond, where it was dropped sin years
ago, gallberry bushes having grown up
through the loops in the chain. The
strange part of the story lie that in
winding up the watch, which must
have been in the water for month"; ev-
cry year, it started running regularly.
Mr.. Hendry has given young Campbell
nice reward for his find.

drainage district, and here the ASSESS
ment has been made on each lot,
without regard to acreage.

the ensuing year will be more than
$4,000, which added to that imposed
for drainage will make the total nearly
$137 900.

graph property at$44S, 0e1 and person.
al property at $3.50, ITO, making total
