PAYING SMALL DEBTS ILLUSTRATED
A Fredericksburg merchant went to Caro-
line Court on certain occasion with one
hundred dollar note of certain denomina.
ton. Shortly after he got on the green he
paid it over to n farmer. The farmer soon
discharged an indebtedness TO some one
else, and thus the note kept on its mission
of liquidation until near the heel Of the
evening, when it was again paid back to
the same merchant who took it there, and
he brought it back to Fredericksburg! Hav.
ing the curiosity to trace its workings, he
found that one thousand dollars worth OF
debts had been paid by that one hundred
dollar note on single day.--Fredericksbrg

citizens Of that town last week adopted O
new plan for protecting their banks from be-
