LOST AND FOUND POCKETBOOK
sam Davis the Happicst Man In Sum-
ter When Lost Money Was Return
cd

From The Daily Item, March IL.
Sam Davis, colored of Wedgefield
Is probably the happiest man in
town today, for he has just recovered
thirty dollars. which he lost earlier in
the day and which he thought was
gone forever, never to return. AS
the old saying is 1T was just like get
ting money from home" when he
walked into O'Donncll & Company's
store and Mr.. Sam Chandler told him
that his lost money was found, and
placed the pocketbook in his hands.
Sam is an old colored man and he
came into the Item office at about
O'Clock in as much trouble as an
old man generally ever gets into. He
stated his troubles to the "ad man."
He had just lost his pocketbook,
which contained thirty dollars, a
heap Of money in these hard war
times" He had probably put the
money in a hole in his well worn
trousers, instead Of in his pocket, as
he had intended to do. He had not
discovered his loss until he got TO the
bank. where he went to deposit his
money. Sam was told that the Item
would do all in its power to aid him in
getting back his money, and he went
out somewhat relieved, but still in the
depth of despondenty. It was not a
half hour, however. before he re-
turned, and this time his face wore
an expression of happiness and con-
tent seldom seen, as he recounted the
finding Of his pOcketbook. 1t had
been found by one of the porters at
. Oonnell's and turned over to Mr.
Sam Chandler. who returned it to
Sam Davis.
Davis was warned by the "ad man"
to put his money in the bank at the
earliest possible opportunity and he
went out voluble in his many express
siOns Of thanks.
