Jhe Early Bird Catches the Worm

Two of our energetic down town citiz-
ems seeing the road scraper at work on
Tuesday got out shovels, rakes and hoes
and began cleaning up i'll front of their
properties. 1t is reported one of them
had not worked long until he unearthed
a five dollar gold piece from the gutter.
Quite a number Of bystanders were pre-
sent at the finding and each one declared
he had lost such a piece of money quite
recently. So many inquiries by persons
having lost money of that denomination
recently have been made that one oil the
finders has undertaken to disguise his
identity by having his mustache sha we'd
off. All claimants must give correct date
of mintage in order to recover same.
Probably others will now begin clear
ing up the street in front of their proper
ties with the hopes of finding five dollar
gold pieces. 1t may pay to do SO.
