WHO LIKES DOG LATIN ?
A Reminder Of "FluSh" Times In
Mississippi.


Mississippi.
The follow parody was written in
1910 by Aaron Lindsey and published
in the Southern Sun, a Whig paper, of
which he was editor.
1t will be remembered that bonds,
pledging the faith of the State had
been issued to the Union Bank of
Mississippi, as subscription to that
bank: and s., 2,500,0 600 of these had been
sold. When, later, the oank sent into
the market, at home and abroad, three
commissioners, eX-Gov II. G. Runnels,
president of the bank; Judge e. G.
Wilkinson, of Yazoo, and Col. j. c.
wilkins, of Natchez, to dispose of the
remaining bonds ($2,50O,OOO). Gov.
McNutt issued his proclamation,
warning all persons against buying or
leading money on the bonds. This
proclamation, translated into French,
English, German and Dutch, was
widely published in Europe, as well as
in England and America.
The parody read as follows:
