LOST HIS POCKET BOOK.

Rural mail carrier s. ]. Terry had the
misfortune to lose his pocket book, con-
tanning considerable sum of money, one
day last week, and had given 1t up as
gone for good. when couple of days
later it was handed to him intact by
Luther Wettig, of near Birmingham
school house, who had found it in a
snow drift. Mr.. Terry offered the finder
a FIVE dollar bill as a reward. but Mr..
Wettig refused it, asserting he did not
wish to be rewarded for restoring to the
rightful owner anything that belonged to
him.
This is carrier Terry's second exper-
fence in losing well-6lled wallet, one
dropping from his pocket in the hay field
last harvest. but was recovered the follow
ing morning. and now he doesn't know
whether he could be called lucky or un-
lucky.

Times Publishing Company Affairs
To Be Settled.

To the surprise of everyone, the tangle
over the status of the various bondholders
of the defunct Times Publishing Company
of Oxford were settled last week when
Judge Mcpherson of the United States
District Court, reversed the decision of
Referee Rupert and declared that the
entire issue of bonds under the first
mortgage should, be paid in full. This
amount is $I2, 500 and there is $500 in
the bank at West Chester with which to
pay it, making the settlement come to
about rs per cent. The dispute which
has kept the fluids tied up for over year
arose from the fact that number of the
first mortgage bondholders had exchanged
their bonds for bonds of second issue.
Their claim was that although they signed
the paper making the exchange and had
given up their old bond, they had been
given to understand that the transaction
would not become valid until all the
bondholders had made the same exchange.
A number of these refused to exchange
and those who did claimed that the tran
saction for this reason was not completed.
The referee in bankruptcy decided that
it was, but Judge Mcpherson reversed
him last week. 1t is not believed that the
case will be taken any higher and divi-
dend will probably be declared within a
short time.
This decision means that those who
bought second mortgage bonds will be
wiped out entirely as will all the mer-
chandise creditors of the bankrupt COM
pany. The second mortgage bondholders
however, think they have redress in the
fact that the bonds were certified by the
Kennett Trust Company and bore the
words. First Mortgage Bonds. whereas
they were not First Mortgage Bonds at
all. A suit will in all likelihood. be in
stituted against the Trust Company.

Fox Hunt.

Tuesday was big day fer the Rising
Sun Hunt Club when fox was dropped
and number of visiting horsemen with
hounds joined in the chase. The fox was
released about two o'clock, near the drove
yards on Pearl street. where crowd of
about three hundred had assembled to
witness the sport. and took course across
the Amanda Reynolds and S. ]. Reyn-
olds farms. entering the woods near the
quarry. The pack. which numbered over
sixty hounds, was released about ten
minutes later, and after getting false
start finally took up the trail. giving
tongue and running through the deep
snow at lively rate, about dozen horse
men following. The chase proved rather
short one, as the trail was lost near Oak
Grove school, couple of miles northwest
Of town. and not picked up again. al
though the fox was seen later doubling on
its trail and crossing the farm of Wayne
Reynolds.
A second fox was dropped on Wednes-
day morning near the kennels of the club
and given a five-minute start before the
pack of fifteen hounds was released. The
snow proved too deep for reynard and the
hounds were so close that it took refuge in
the wheel pit at Wollen's saw mill and
was recovered by the hunters.
