1851 hev he'd trouble enough
with the unenlitened people Nv these
Corners, for the past week, to neerly
drive me mad. Indeed I shood hev
bin in a loonatic asylum ere this, he'd
I not bin sustained and soothed by
an unlimited faith of the correctnis
of the doetrins Nv the Ohio Dimocri-
cy, ez regards money. And feelin
that l wuz assistin, in my humble
way, in. putin them doctrines into
practis, ! determined not to go mad,
but to perseYere even unto the end.
But the peryerse people are doin
ther level best to drive me crazy and
I am not shoor. that they won't sue
ceed. T boughtsa pair Nv. horses Nv
one Nv EN- for $4,000, and paid him
in our money. He thot he'd rather
not tech it. L =,
%"When will this be redeemed p.
he askt, innocently.
":Any time you want it," I re-
piled.
't.In watw heEretorted.
S"In other notes onto the same
bank )" sez /.
"And how will you redeem them
notes ?" sez he.
"In jist the same way" sez I.
"Then all there is Nv it," sez he,
'tyoo 60 on takin up one note by CIV
ing another, and all Nv EN- without
interest nor nothin.''
That's it eggzackly," sed I. "Yoo
see, can't yoo, or are 700 an ijeat ? that
money means faith. Now, eff the
proud tinanshel instltooshin in wich I
am the head, ishoos its note, you
must hey faith that it will pay, and
so long ez 700 shev that faith, and
everybody else hez that faith, so that
they take it for money, 700 never
want the money on it. So long ez
money is taken, yoo don't want it re-
deemed, for it is good enufs, 700 see !!
Our money is made good by faith
and ez long ez tits sustained by faith
it will CO.. When the notes you hev
wears out, come to us and we will re-
deem em with new: ones. But every
one must zhev faith. Cant VOC see it ?
EVERYBODY MUST HEv FAITH
Faith: in the. ishoos Nv this
Bank Nv ourn IS necessary to its sue
cess and stability. Faith in our money
is ez it is in Religion, the substance
Nv things hoped for. and the evi-
dence of things not seen, only more
so. Wait till 7 get $4,000 from the
printin offs, and take EN- for your
horses, and 60 your way. Hev faith -
Perkins, that was the farmers
name, took the money and went his
way, ponderin ez he went. He
walked down to Bascom's with deep
lines Nv thot onto his face, wich re-
solved itself into a expreshun of de-
terminashun ez he entered the door.
"Ken 700 sell me barl Nv whisky
to-day,-a entire barl p sed he.
"Cartinly," said G.. w., smilingly,
"Certinly, Mr.. Perkins. It's only
worth $40 gallon, or 81, $50 per bari
this mornin.
"I'll take barl'" sed Perkins,
Cali rite," wuz G.. WIS response.
"I'd es soon sell bari to wunst ez by
the single drink"
So G. w. and his wife, and oldest
son Jefferson Davis, rolled a barl up
into Perkinses wagon, and Perkins re-
markt that he wanted to pay for that
likker on the spot. Boscom smiled
pleasantly. There wuz nothin &C
pleasant Perkins continyood, ez pay.
