' FARM GIVES UP VAST FORTUNE IN BURIED GOLD Spanish Coins, Minted 800 Years Ago. Are Found in Mississippi. F In itrrl /’, v McLAIN. Mi.v- Fob 22.—Rising from a historical background of preCivil war days, a fortune of Spanish gold, minted 800 years ago. has bc'-n discovered in southern Mississippi. The discovery has awakened new Inirrcst. in the early ;.‘story of the Ma e. and has caused historians to delve deeper into some ol the legend'. It. also has thrown an interesting light on early accomplishments rs General Andrew Jackson and oth-’rs. Only a short distance from ’he hoarded-up shack of Ab and West Sylvester, discoveries of the gli.sicnin:r Spanish coin, can be found die skeleton of a swinging bridge rlaimrd to have been built by Jackson. Once Choctaws’ Land Choctaw Indians once inhabited this land, and according to an old folk lale. the chieftains daughter Ml in love with the property owner, and they later married. When the government sent the Indians to anew reservation, the Indian princess left her husband and went, with her tribe. The land was left, to t.he white man. who later married an American woman. Asa \ast sum of foreign money had come into his possession, he was compelled to bury it in five different, locations until after the Civil war Later, thrives stole a map of the money locations from him and dug up three of the caches. Forrest Lea, a farmer, still later unearthed a fourth rhest. which contained Spanish gold coins, jewelrj md a gold pocket knife. Fortune Is Large It is believed that the tree marking the location of the fifth chest was cut down; thus, until a few weeks ago, nothing more was known of l he missing treasure. According to one legend, the thieves who stole the map later mysteriously returned it to the Gains family without revealing their identity. The vast sum comprising the fifth fortune, just discovered, has not been estimated, but it is said to represent many thousands of dollars, besides probably heavy premiums that will he paid on coins bearing old dates. There are 1,100 coins, all very thin yellow gold, presumably doubloons. Hundreds Are ‘Prospecting’ So great was the shock to the Sylvesters at finding the fortune on the creek bank near their home, that the older man was confined to his bed for several days, with an attending physician. Three bodyguards were placed at the shanty in the desolate thicket to protect the family. Hundreds of residents from Forrest, Greene and Perry counties have visited the farm, and mineral rods, picks, shovels and implements of every description have been in constant use along the placid stream.

HE CAN NOT TELL A LIE—IT’S REAL CHERRY PIE

i...

Just, look Frankie in the eye and you can see that he could not tell a lie about that cherry pie he’s eating. Maybe it came from the cupboard of Frankie’s mother, but Frankie Kelley. 4. of 1154 Blaine avenue, isn’t going to be bothered about where the pie came from on

Dorothy Lamour to Sing With Orchestra on Roof Herbie Kay and His Radio Band Will Play One Night, Next Sunday, at Indiana Ballroom, According to Devine. THE names of two nationally famous dance orchestras appear on the Indiana Roof current schedule. They are Herbie Kay and his Lucky Strike dance orchestra and the original McKinney’s Cotton Pickers. Kay and his Lucky Strike unit, also known as the Yeast Foamers orchestra, will come to the Roof next Sunday evening, Feb. 26, for one night only. Appearing with them will be Dorothy Lamour, billed as the "Radio It Girl." This singer's beauty is not confined to her voice, however, for she won second place in the national beauty pageant at Galveston, Texas, in which she was entered as "Miss New Orleans.’’

The forthcoming appearance will be the first the Lucky Strike orchestra has made at the Roof. The Cotton Pickers will open their engagement here on Friday, March 3. Featured with the original McKinney Cotton Pickers will be Cuba Austin, a sensational comedy drummer, who has occupied a prominent place in the Roof spotlight during each of the Cotton Pickers’ previous engagements here. Dick Snyder and his Detroiters are to continue on the Roof, until the coming of the Cotton Pickers. BUM CIVIC THEATER PRESENTS “YOUNG WOODLEY” "Young Woodley” opened at the Civic theater Playhouse last night with a performance that was never uninteresting, nor yet overly well done. Here Hale Mac Keen a play which is a better whole than any of the individual parts. It may be the result of good direction. I think it is. The play has a point and the point is put across, in spite of any flaws shown in the acting. To my mind Horace Hill, as Vining, the young-man-of-the-world, who has the latest information on the problems of youth well in hand, is the outstanding player in the cast. He seems to have grasped the idea of the part, to have given that part not only the outer coloring but the subtleties which make it moving. Jack C” .esterfield, as Woodley, is rather inconsistent in his portrayal of the misled and misunderstood youth, who falls in love with his schoolmaster's wife. Chesterfield at times shows good juvenile interpretation but in the critical points of the play he becomes loose

and jerky. Especially the love scenes with his so-called “lady love.” Mary Alien was good in the role of Laura Simmons, the schoolmaster's wife. lacked smoothness and consistency in the display of her emotions, but I felt that she had a nice understanding of the part and knew what she was trying to do. Miss Allen's voice was a high point in her favor in the critical moments of the play. Fletcher Woodbury, Robert Winsted, Roland Rapier, Bonita Rapier, James Bowling and Walter Jackson make up the remainder of the cast. The play will continue throughout the week. Now at the Playhouse.— (By the Observer.) LODGE CIRCUS TO OPEN Thirty Acts Are Included in K. of C. Benefit Performances.

ASSESSOR JOBS ARE ABOLISHED BY ASSEMBLY Work Will Be Handled by Trustee in Townships Under 5.000. Legislation abolishing the offiro of assessor in townships of less than 5.000 population, calculated to save $220,800 annually, was enacted Tuesday by the house, when it passed the administration senate bill. 75 to 13. The bill puts the duties of the township assessor in the hands of the township trustee and is a companion bill to the house measure fixing the salaries of the latter. There was some objection to the lack of authority given township advisory boards. Representative Henry C. Asche (Dem.. Sunman), argued that since various laws enacted in the 1932 session have reduced the township trustee's duties, he should be given r ditional work. The railroad labor bill, prohibiting trains from operating with more than seventy cars, was killed in the house. 47 to 45, after a bitter debate. The vote was followed immediately by action to prevent reconsideration except by a two-thirds vote. Labor members of the house fought desperately lor passage of the bill, declaring it a safety measure which would save many lives.
