AN OLD COIN.
From the Franklin journal.

OEe of our Oldest and best citizens ex-
hibited to US French coin of silver, bear
ing date in 1923. When he married in
1925 he had five dollars besides this
coin, which is apparently worth about
fifty cents. He pad the preacher, who
performed the marriage ceremony, the
five dollars, and gave the old coin to his
bride. That was all the money they
had; but they never parted with it.
They have labOred together since then
and succeeded in gathering around
them fine estate; but the old coin is one of
the souvenirs of the past, recalling to mind
those happy days when the young couple,
inexperienced and highin hope, cut their
cable, launched into the world and fondly
dreamed each wind and star their friend.
They will never part with the relic. The
associations which cluster about it are of
a character too sacred to be broken by
placing it in the hands of strangers. :
