MR. DICKSON GETS
LOST WATCH BACK.

     Editor Dickson of Edna, who is in the city is a very happy man by reason of having recovered a valuable watch that he lost on Wednesday last. Realizing the value of printers ink, Mr. Dickson inserted a small notice in the DEMOCRAT on Thursday, giving a description of the time piece. Friday morning a negro appeared at the jewelry store of Sam Bykowsky with a gentleman's watch that he wanted to trade for a lady's watch. Mr. Bykowsky had read the ad. and readily recognized the watch as the one advertised by Mr. Dickson. The owner was notified and his property restored.
