A WELCOME SURPRISE.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN* CORRESPONDENT.]
Dunedxn, Monday. A well-known firm of timber merchants received a welcome surprise a few days ago, when a man who had been indebted to it to the extent of £75. for many years settled his account. The manager of the firm had no recollection of the debt, or of it being on the' books, hut investigation showed that the money was owing, and that- the last occasion on wTTicli the account was rendered was April, 1896. At that time the debtor was in straightened circumstances, and the debt had been written off, and completely forgotten. The firm was very grateful to the debtor, and in appreciation of his action Im.nded him in return a substantial amount.
