While most people in Rensselaer are husbanding their money to meet the high cost of living these days, George Reed has money to burn. At least he burned up some sl2 or sls a few days ago in the kitchen stove. He missed his pocketbook and after looking about in various places for it thought he might have dropped it in the cob bin, but a search there failed to reveal the missing purse. The stove was then looked into and a few bits of the purse that failed to be entirely consumed wore found. It is supposed that he dropped the pocketbook in the cob bin and scooped it up and put it in the stove. There was some sl2 or sls in money and some valuable papers in the purse.
