The obstacles IN the way NV the Bank
that hev thus far developed theirselv,s,
hev bin happily and easily removed.
Bsiseom demanded wT:e,lt uy us to ship
to Louisville to get more whisky, and
we he'd to let him hey it, and take pay
in our own money. And ez he demand
ed that we take our own money jest the
same ez greenbax, that bein the stand
ard in Louisville. we met heavy loss.
The account stands ez follows:
,OGO bushels of wheat cost lis, in
our own money, at'Si 30 per
buSilci. Si,'5bb W
Sold it 10 Bascom at Louisville
grccnlack prices, which is 81 per
bushcl, taken pay in the same
money we he'd paid for it.......1 900 90
Los (which we easily lisgereD $500 %
We he'd one more trouble, which we
got on easier with. Pugsby, the shoe
maker, who took our money, run ont of
leather and when he sent TO Louisville
for more, the merchants there, ez in the
case NV Bascom, refoOzed TO take our
currency. Pugsby knowed NV Bascom's
experience and he came up smi!in to
hcv us sell him wheat enulf Mt green
back prices to renoG his stock.
Wat kin we doo;" demanded in dire
distress, for really didn't see why Pugs-
by shoodn't hev wheat enuT to renoO

wbisiley is more necessary to the Cor
ners than leather.
"Dol" sed Isslkrr Gavitt, with Il cX-

finanscers! Hez Pugsby Il safe? No?
Well, wher does he keep the :l2, 600 NV

that is wooden. And his biidin is wood
Very good. Tell Pugsby TO come to-

Aud Issaker put some matches in llis
vest pochet--ahout three dollars worth.
Matches hez gone up 81 80 box-our
money.
That nite Pugsby's shop burnt up and
the fire commenced Just undri the desk.
The next mornin HAT unforchnit man
came to Us and insisted on iIevin the
wheat on the score nv the money hc he'd
nv oars.
"Bring us the money" said Issaker,
beamin sweetly onto him, ''and we'll
give you all the wheat you want"
"But yoo know that he'd your mon
ey, and that it WIZ burnt up last mite.
Il persoom you he'd some NV our
money, but doRt know it" replied
Issakcr. No well regulated bank kin
live if they shood take every mans
word, cz you want us 10. How kin
tell but wat you hev that money con
cealed, and that the burnin OF your shop
waz Slleem to defrod yoor creditors.
am not shoor that It isn't nay dcoty to
investigate the matter.
And Issal5er looked so stern that
Pugsby left The bank with howl OF
terror.

None. We hev got to find some other

1t is astonishin how the Corners is

and last week the cOrner-stuns for eight
factrys wuz lade with approprit oeremo-

ralerodes and turnpikes, and that part
Nv the work will be pushed to an early
compIeshuu. for the lahrers furnish
their own shovals and picks and take
our money for wages. The Iaborers buy
their livin Nv the farmers along the line
with that money. and then the farmers
come to the Corners with it, and cheer
their soles at Bascoms.
So far. all is serene and sweet. So far
the money sheds blessins, es n skunk

worry. Wat is Baseom to do with it!
The Louisville merchants refoo5e to
tech it for likker, and we can't afford to
give him wheat at Louisville prices
again. We wood bid a distilIery, but
alas. we can't pay for the nails, the glass
and the stillin apparatus in our money,
and we amt got any other But, thank
an overrulin Providence, Bascom hez

suthin will turn up afore that is all

Prices hev gone up 50 that it takes a
vast volume nv currency to transact the
