There are evidently great many
people who do not know that "iree
silver" and ''free coinage" simply
mean the coming Of silver bullion
without charge for mlntage. A
prominent citizen OF Cedartown vas
riding through the wilds of Haral-
son county the other day when a
couple of men stopped him to ask
about the car load of silver dollars
that they understood had been
shipped to Atlanta tor distribution,
and offered to pay all the expenses
if he would send them word when
the car came to Cedartown. Was
there ever matter more generally
misunderstood than the silver ques-
ton ?-Cedartown Standard.
A similar occurrence to the above
happened in Marietta. A man was
grumbling about the governments
delay about free coinage OF silver.
A merchant asked him if he knew
what free coinage Of silver meant ?
He replied, Yes, the government
is going to give US silver free"
When his mistake was explained to
him, he said che did't know it was
that way"

better state of affairs.
