lives James Roo. Hc is n married man
man without children, A business
man, whose aeye.tecth were cut early
in life, He is sharp, and is growing
rich. In 1863 he was the owner of u
house. and lot, four blocks from this
office. The Government wanted money
and csfSicd him six per cent. interest
in gold, payable semi-annaully, and to
be exempt from taxes. Prices were in
flated at the timo, for the mar who
wouldn't say that grccnbacks were
better than gold, and the government
more precious than the Gospel, stood
in danger Of ''contraclcd' rope about
bis neck, with one end fast to lamp
post. But james Roe was loyal He
believed in grecnbacks. He sold his
house and lot, worth today $1,000 for
$4,000, and took it allin grecnbacks.
These he loaned 70 the government,
taking its, promise to pay il back any
time after i've and within twenty
years On that the government has
paid him back in interest 81 200 in gold,
or sS,iOO iu grccnbacks He has paid
