A Valued Heirloom

The other day Mrs. L. B. Perkins
showed us a very unique piece OF
jewelry that was given to her while
she and Mr. Perkins and their niece
Miss Virginia Harris, were visiting at
"Walnut Hills" his old home in Louisa
county Virginia. 1t is an old fashioned
rin filled with locks of light and dark
brown hair and is over a hundred
years old. The jewel first belonged to
Mr.. Perkins great grandmother, Mrs
Mary Grinstead, then to his own
mother and after her death. it fell into
the hands of his aunt, Mrs. Johnson.
Forty years ago the latter lost it.
While she was tying her bonnet strings
together, she dropped it out of an up
stairs window that she was standing
near and it fell between the logs of the
house. Afterwards the house was
weatherboarded and no thought was
given to the jewel until this summer
when Mr.. Johnson, who now lives at
the homestead told TT. and Mrs. Per-
kins about it. Someone suggested that
a search be made for the hidden treas
ure and if it we're found Mrs. Perkins
should be honored with the Z #. Wea-
Their boarding was torn from the house
and after diligent search no trace of
the pin could be found. Mrs. Perkins
was deeply disappointed. The next
day Mr.. Johnson took another hunt
and found the sparkling treasure in a
bundle of trash that dropped from the
house during the hunt, This is just
one of the interesting incidents that
happened during the Perkins visit to
Old Virginia. They had visit that is
pleasant to hear about and brought
home several attractive souvenirs.
