A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.
The Bogus 500 Silver Certificate Be-
ing Circulated in the South.
Oct. 22d, 1884.


American.
A United States detective told an
American reporter yesterday that there
were a number of $40 counterfeit silver
certificates in circulation in Nashville
and other parts of the Southwest. The
counterfeit will be easily detected by
those who are well posted, but in order
to give the public the benefit of the de-
tective's experience, the following de-
fects in these notes are stated
In the notes no attempt has been
made to initiate the fibre paper on
which all genuine notes of the series,
1880, are printed. The large seal and
the two'large Xxx in the centre Of the
note have dark red appearance, while
on the genuine the seal and Xxx are of
dark brown or chocolate color. The
words "Silver Certificate" appear In
panels twice in the upper border on the
face of the note. In the panel to the
left in the counterfeit the letters R, T,
and F in the word certificate" are ems
graved wrong side up. The counter
felt is trife shorter than the genuine,
and dark and greasy. The portrait of
Stephen Decatur is poorly engraved,
and will not compare with the genuine.
All that the detectives have seen so far
are numbered B 1,467 x and B IA
81, 415 x. The numbers are uneven,
but have fine blue color, closely re.
sembliDg the genuine. The plates are
still in the hands of the counterfeiters,
who are correcting the errors aboYe
mentioned from time to time, SO that
all silver 500 certificates of this series
should be handled with care, as the
geometrical lathe work is fair, and liza.
BILE to deceive. The next lot issued
will probably be much better than the
first two patches, with which the coun-
terfeiters are said to have flooded the
money market in the southern country.
The United States detectives are look
ing for the plant, which is supposed to
be in the South.

SCHOOL. MATTERS.
Why the Public School Was Closed

Why the Public School Was Closed
Miss Willis Will Not Open Private
School.
Mr.. Cannady, one of the Board OF
School Trustees, says that the Trustees
closed tho public school because the
funds were exhausted; and many OF
the pupils will now 60 to work for
the summer. The school will remain
closed for a while, until funds accu.
mulate to pay expenses-unless a ma
jority of the property Owners call
upon the Trustees to levy special
tax. In regard to permitting the
schoolhors, to be used for private or
select schools, while not in use
as a public school, the Trustees
prefer to decline assuming any re-
sponsibility in the matter, unless re.
quested to do SO by petition in
writing.
In this connection, it should be stat.
ed that Miss l.. A. Willis, who a couple
of weeks ago, caused it to be an
nounced in the TINES that, in case the
public school were closed, she would
open \ private land not 'select')
&c 100, has concluded not to open the
said school. The announcement was
only made after parents representing
several of the pupils of the public
school had requested her to teach du-
ring vacation, and before as much as
a ramon of another school being OPEN
ei. had been heard. The parents re.
fe.rcd to are still anxious that she
should teach but as Miss Willis un-
derstands that another private school
is to be opened shortly, she declines
to receive pupils, as she fears that if
she did so she might cause some dis.
sension in the district.
