Conscience Hurt; Pays Debt.

twenty-five years ago a Decatur
county girl, attending school in Da-
Wis City, contracted debt for one
months tuition which amounted to
about $3.50 at that time and she
either neglected or was unable to
pay at that time and the debt seems
to have been forgotten from that
time on by both the lady and the
school board. However, the lady
(who is married now recalled the
fact Of the money she owed, as was
evident when her husband walked
into the Valley Bank Monday and
paid John Gatcc, treasurer of the
school board, $5.OO,which his wife
had owed for rs years. He explain
ed that it was conscience money"
az his wife was recently converted by
the Holy Rollers, and tho act Of res
toration was the sequence of her
change of heart. Davis City News
