The First Dollar Greenback.
HOW IT SPRUNG UP IN THE MARKET

Henry County (Mo.) Democrat.
A few weeks ago this paper pub
lished notice that Mr.. r. L. Leav-
erton, of Holden, Missouri, had in
hisypossession the first dollar green
back issued by the Government.
That notice was published far and
wide IN the newspapers. MIR.
George Gross, of Kansas City,
read it, and urged the owner to set
price. He said $25, and had the
money showed quickly into his
hands. In few days Mr.. Gross
was offered $65 for his purchase.
but declined to sell. In four days
after making the sale Mr.. Leaver-
ton received an offer of 500 for
the bill from St. Louis parties,
which he rendered to Mr.. Gross,
who declined to sell. Mr.. Hatchey,
a boss bridge-builder, offered $3.50
in gold for half interest in the
bill (Which was now considered to
be great bonanza, but this offer
was also refused. A wholesale
liquor firm concluded that it would
be good thing and q cheap ad-
vertisement at $500, and made this
offer, but with the same lack of
success. Bidding upon the oldest
dollar greenback then became gen
eral, and reached $500, but Mr.
Gross still retained the proprietor
ship.
The most interesting and last
heard of offer was from Brick
Pomeroy. He wanted to borrow
the bill to display at hustings du-
ring canvass for the National
Greenback party. He was prompt
ly informed that if he would exc
cute a bond in the sum of $1,000,
with two sureties, for the safe re-
turn of the bill, he could have the
use of it for a short campaign.
