ANOTHER LEGACY ,
'Mr. Guy Hicks was called up by line
of'bhe local bank managers the other
day and informed that a suns of
money had arrived from England,
payable to his order, a nice little-mes-
sage
ittlemes-
sage and one which few of us would
object to hese.• Usually when the
bank manager or any member of the
staff mills us up it is to say: "There
is a' slight overdraft in your account
You will kindly take care of it," or
something equally encouraging and.
action -compelling. This was different.
Suoh. a message must give a man a
very cheerful feeling. ' This little.
wind!all, which was left .the Hicks fa-
mily frons the estate of the late Jo-
seph flicks, of Rodman, England, an
uncle of our townsman, will be divid-
ed among the heirs this side of the
water; he having no family: The late
Mr. hicks died eightyears ago and
his widow last yeas; and thea estate
has just been wound up. The cash
realized amounts to x11051, 1.9s.. lid,
but Mn Hicks• says it was a very
much larger fortune before the war.
This divided by two ov' three however,.

divided up this fall, residents of,Clin-
ton and vicinity 'benefitting. Per-
haps there are others. Here's hop-
ing our turn will come.

ple of weeks ago and • whose launch
was found in ehe Bay. He declared
they had been drowned and offered to
locate the bodies. He took several,
loavee'of bread, removed the centres,
Ailed the hollows with lime then Alec-;
ed then in•a circle en top of the water
where he thought the bodies would be.
He said if the bread passed over the

an electric current' passed through it.'
Presently one of the loaves was
bhooght'to show signs of disturbance
and grappling hooks were used aitkl..
the body of one of '-the men,, Robert
