Look OHt.--Ih0 OF our readers VINO are

dIers are proving about @seeking whom they

Mercantile Advertiser, of the 18th instant.
!. Sscindling ErtraOrdiaary.--We were
Yesterday shown a very beautifully en-
arayed Fifty dollar note Of which the fol-
lowing is COPY
$ Mobile, Ala, June 10, 1888.
q The President, Directors and Compa-
nv Of the CITY BANK OF MOBILE,
promise to pay John Gayle or bearer, on
demand. FIFTY DOLLARS.
VIM. r. HALLET, Pres'L
WIN. ]. INeERsoLL, Cash'r.
The above note came from Mississippi !;
and the gentleman who sent it TO this city,
we learn, gave hundred dollar note on the
Tombigby Rel Road Bank, and twenty |
dollar Union Bank of Miss. note, for
hundred dollars ofthe above, as he thought |
Mobile nsoTey. We are Informed that the |
swindler from whom the above note was
received, has very large amount Of the
same kind of paper on hand, and is buying
up with it, all kinds Of uncurrent money.
| He must be doing a very nriUing bust
ness. The people of Mississippi ought to
knoy that there is no such Bank in this
lefty as the CITY BANK, and that the
| Bank of which Mr.. Hallet was President
land Mr.. Ingersoll is Cashier, is simply the
/ BANK OF MOBILE. The way the
slsarpers are using up the good people of
Mississippi in the way of paper money is
caution 10 the country. We think their
eyes must soon be opened, and we hope
such swindIers as the above will be dealt
with according to their deserts. We think
such. a case as this, would clearly come
under the jurisdiction Of HIS Honor JUDGE
LYNCH.
