diamond ring that disappeared from the dresser in the bedroom of Mrs. Marie Justice at Paragould five years ago has been returned to her.

Among her mail q few days ago she received a package post-marlled at Paragould neatly packed. containing the long lost ring. There was no writing or other marks to indicate who sent the package. The ring had evidently not been worn. being in the same condition as when it left the posses sion of Mrs Justice It is believed the party who took it did not wear it for fear of detection.
