Boy Find* $1,000 Check
In Trash Can
Mrs. Claris* Mundy’s little boy, Billy, found a check for an amount over 91,000 ina trash can at Sperryville Saturday afternoon.
iBilly, with a normal 3-year-old curiosity, jenjoys investigating, trash cans—much to his mother’s disgust, for she has the trash to return to the trash can.
Saurday afternoon Billy ransacked the trash can at the post office at Sperryville and came with a small fist full of circulars, advertisements, and empty envelopes. “Look, Mommy, mail!” Bis mother tried to persaude him to throw them away, but Billy - held on firmly until he got home, He played around with his prized " mail for the rest of the evening.
When Mrs. Mundy was straight‘ ening up the trash, after Billy had - gone to bed, she noticed a piece of pink paper that resembled a check. It'was a check, for a little over $1,000 for the packing bouse in Sperryville for a shipment of apples to , some firm in North Carolina.
“I kept looking at the thing," said Mrs. Mundy. “I felt it must be some mistake, but I called the packing house to make sure.”
The cheek wss picked up by £uelo Kilby on Monday morning at the Sandwich Shop in Sperryville.
There is no need to sky that ' when Ned Jones and Lee Thornton get through teasing Loelo Kilby and Ned Johnson about throwing $1,000 checks in the trash can, the latter gentlemen will wish that the check had continued its stay in the tnufe eanf jfc * ■
