Watch Stolen

Last Thursday Mr.. Harry G.. AL
len, manager of the Muskingum VAL
ley Grocery Co., was relieved of his
watch, which was taken from his
vest pocket. The vest was hanging in
the side hall, leading into the whole
sale grocery's office. Strong sus-
picion is that it was taken by par
ey that morning among the business
men of this place. He had been at
the wholesale grocery in the morn
ing, and it is the presumption that
he then located the watch. He came
back the second time, making his
entrance through the back door,
sort of loafing, and was seen in the
hall, where the vest containing the
watch was hanging, and he disap-
peared about 1920. He was not
seen about town after that time
When Mr.. Allen put his vest on at
noon, to go to his home, he missed
his timepiece, and at once sus-
picioned the party who had been
there begging. He at once got into
communication with the officers
here in an effort to locate the strang-
er, and the police of surrounding
places were also notified, but no
trace of the suspect has been found.
The suspicious party is said to have
been well dressed: about middle
aged, and claimed to have lost his
speech through illness.

A CORRECTION

Editor:--I just wish to correct
slight mistake in your account of
the death of Anna McIntire. Her
father, John Walker, was brother
to Mrs. Harry M. Daugherty's faith
er, so that would make them full
cousins, instead of a cousin once
removed. I know this to be true as
my grandfather, the late Chas.
Walker was a brother to Mrs. Nc
Intire's father, and also Mrs. Harry
M. Daugherty's father. - Emma

Miss Nuzum Loses In Bank Failure

MISS NuZum Loses III tdnk Fallufe
Miss Alice Nuzum, daughter of
Rev. and Mrs. ]. L. Nuzum, who
taught the past year in West Vir-
ginia, seems to be in a fair way to
lose practically all the money she
received for her years work just
past. She deposited her money in a
Huntington, w Va, bank, which has
recently closed its doors. Miss Nu-
yum made deposit of her last
months salary in the bank just a
few days before it closed it's doors.
Miss Nuzum, who is very ambitious,
and had planned to go to college and
continue her studies this summer,
deprived herself of many things, in
order that she would have the more
to spend on her education. Ill fl
nancial luck seems to follow in the
wake of Miss Nuzum, who is but Is
years of age. This makes the Sec
ond time she has lost her entire saw
ings through the bank failing, in
which she had deposited her earn
ings
