Pridmorr, Secy. & Treas. J. C. Otts, Atty. White infant Left wHh Negro. Sunday night about 11 o’clock some one knocked at the door of Oscar Brown’s house on Blrnie street near The Ledger building. Upon being asked who was there, the person ans wered that he was Dr. Pitman’s driver and that he was looking for Lou Falls. Knowing that Lou hadt£ child which was born Friday night, Brown thought no more of it, but told the person that Lou lived in the other end of the house. Lou Falls, when seen Tuesday morning, lid that some one awakened her Sui day night by knocking at her door, and then a man came in carrying a bundle and said to her that he had with him a baby which he wished her to keep until morning, and gp.ve her five dollars. The man laid the baby on the bed and left. She examined the bundle and found a white female child which had just been born. It was wrapped with a single piece of coarse cloth and around this was a piece of oil cloth. It had no other clothing on it. Lou says she did not know the man who brought the child to her house; that she had never seen him before. This statement is not believed, however. The child is perfectly white and well formed and seems to be doing well. Dr. Pitman, when seen, said that it was by his approval that the child was taken to Lou Falls’, as the mother was not able to give it proper nourish ment. and that it was the momers idea to have the negro woman keep the child for a month and that she would then adopt it and that no one would have known that she was the mother. We have just learned that the child was taken from the . house of Lou Falls and that it is now with its mother. Clary 232; Caah 220. In the second primary held last Tuesday between Messrs. B. R.

(, 4 0/ COMPOUNDED QUARTERLY ■/O or FOUR TIMES A YEAR There are no many good reasons for saving money that it is a wonder everybody does not do so.
