Umphrey Lee, member ot the Loulsburg College fa culty, while searching through some effects of his wife's moth er's recently, found over $20,000 In Confederate money and bonds. k Mrs. Lee, the former Rose Malone ot Loulsburg, said, "I have no Idea where the money came from." She remarked, "t feel It came from mother's side of the family. It has been among the effects of my father, the late Edwin Malone." - - - She llMtJ, "1 TTflT >ware that t; there was some confederate money In father's things, but had no Idea there was so much." The bills were In excellent con dition as were the bonds. The bills are In denominations of $50 and $100 and read, "Six months after the ratification of the treaty ofjpeace between the Confederate States and the Unit ed States of America. . will pay to, the bearer. . .One Hun dred Dollars." The bills range > In dates from 1860 to 1865.. The bonds are In multlpals of $1,000, drawing 7% Interest, payable semiannually. Interest was to have been paid by cou pons attached to the bottom of the bonds, each worth $35 and dated as to when they were to be valid. All the bonds found by the Lees had one cou pon missing, for the flrsi six months of 1865 leading to the speculation that Interest had c been collected for this period. There was a notation with the | find, to the effect that the bonds t and money had been exhibited ? at the Franklin County Fair at |i sometime. There was no date. ! The bonds state that "On the i first day of July, 1868, CSA I will pay the bearer " In- ' dlcatlng payment Is to be made i at some point to be named later.

Mystery continues to shroud the road death of a 27 -year-old Negro, whose body was found early Sunday morning about a mile from his home on tttftr way 401 north of Loulsburg. Solomon Kearney, the victim, was last seen alive by his brother, lying In the drive lead ing to Kearney's home around 12:30 a.m. Sunday, according to Investigating officers. The badly mangled body had been dragged 90 feet under neath some type of vehicle, aci cording to the officers, who also stated that Kearney was killed at the location on the Warrenton road where the body was discovered. It was first thought that the victim may have been elsewhere and later left at the scene near the Warren County line. An unidentified Negro man found the body around 1:45 a.m. Sunday and walked to the nearby home of Vernon Fleming -In Warren County. Fleming, a cousin of Loulsburg fireman Karl Pernell. called Pernell, who was on duty at the fire station and alerted officers. Further Investigation by Sher iffs Deputies Dave Batton and Tom Powell and Patrolman Bill Etherldge disclosed that Kearney had had his life threatened earlier In a nearby store by another Negro man. The officers reported that the argument was nothing more than a personal feud between Kearn ey and the unidentified man, which had been going on for quite some time. Officers chased down a lead which led to a Mercury auto mobile, seen leaving the scene early Sunday morning, but said after checking the car that It was not the. one which struck Kearney. They now believe that Kearney, who had been drinking heavily, had walked for the 45 minutes previously iinipemintoH for anri oUhar fall out or went to sleep lying down In the road. One officer said It might be possible that some one C911M have run over him and not have realized they had hit a human being. The absence of any skid marks, dirt, or broken glass at the scene .has mystified the Investigating officers. They are continuing their Investigation, Indicating that they have another automo bile to check out as soon as th?y can locate It. / Recent pay ralsej^tfe a sign of Increased purcMlslng power? and also Increased prices.
