contains Sl.5O0 in crisp. genuine bank
notes. The other. to all Appearances is
the same, but on examination shows
it to be nothing but green paper.
Gillespie began correspondence
with green goods men year ago. He had
q thorongn knowledge of the methods en-
ployed by them. A month ago this region
was Hooded with green goods literature
and he received one of the circulars He

means q reflection on Indiana banking

The merchants of the State are prosperous,

This system of Dwiggins's In Indiana
