long ez Simpkins, the printer, kin work

manufackter money, why there must be
prosperity.
Pollock aid Joe Bigler we he'd to git

people agin us. Pollock's stock NV goods
and his store waz wuth, in the old times,

"Yoo see," sed |. 'my friends, that
we'd jest ez soon pay greenbax ez our

The crowd wuZ re-ashOOred and took
our bills ez readily ez ever. Pollock and
Bigler gave up the property, but they
didn't l0ave the village. On the contra

barrassin, trouble okkurred. The on
precedented run on Bascom in cOnse-
kence nv the plentifulness nv money eX-
hausted his stock NV Iikkers yesterday,
and he sent to Louisville for more. The
likker merchants NV that mersenary city,
ez a mere matter NV form, generally re-
quire Bascom to pay for goods afore
they ship EN-. to avoid mistakes. He
sent on n thousand dOllaas nv our
money, AND THEY REFoOsRD TO TAKE
I'll Ez he paid all the greenbax he he'd
to Pollock, he CANT get supplies, and
the Cnrners is parched. Wat do we
want now. We don't see why our
money shoodcnt go in Louisville.
1t will take two weeks to ship enough
grain to louisville to exchange for the
likker. and then comes another terrible
duondary. BaScom demands the grain
NV the Bank and wants to pay for it in
the Banks ishoos! And he insists on
hevin it at wat its with in louisville in
greenbaxi Finanseerin aint the easiest
biznis in the world. Our money startid
well enuff on the cirkIe, but there seems
TO be n break In it, Ef we let Bascom
hev that grain and take onr money for
II, were Is our profits? Ef we don't let
him hev the grain the Corners will die
nv drouth And ef he gifts it our money
must be taken for it. for it's all he's got.
