SILVER CERTIFICATES.
Designs of the New Elves, Tens and
Ones.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March The
silver certificates are soon to be re-
placed by a new issue of fresh design.
Designs for the ones, ives and tens
have been prepared.
That for the ones is partly engraved.
1t is "History I%nstructing Youth"
| The middle of the ACE of the note is
occupied by a recumbent female fig
ure, by whom stands a youth. They
are gazing on the city of Washington
from Arlington Heights. The monu-
ment and the dome of the Capitol are
prominently brought out. About this
picture, as a frame, are wreaths en-
circling the names of Americans fam

SAVED HER PORK.
The Old Lady Turned a Trick on Sher-
mans Soldiers.
From the Calhoun tGa.l Times.

From the Calhoun tGa. J Times.
When Sherman's blue-coated le-
gions came pouring through Snake
Greek Gap and down the railroad from
Dalton, there was a mighty hustling
around among the people of Gordon
county.
There were but few men there, and
they were mostly old and infirm.
There were q few boys and negroes, a
few cattle and sheep and other things
Il, eat.
Everybody knew it was good-by
world and turnip patch with every
thing of any value which remained ex-
posed to the swarming Yankees, and
the necessity of hiding and saving
everything valuable suggested to the
ready minds of the housewives many
peculiar schemes and strategies.
One lady had a fine lot of well-cured
pork hanging in the smokehouse. Well
she knew how swiftly it would disap-
pear when nce the Yankees found it.
What could she do? 1t was out of the
question to hide 1t. She must save IL
in some way. If the meat should be
taken from her she saw nothing but
starvation ahead.
After much troubled thought she de-
vised a plan. When she learned that
the Yankees were nearing her home
she had the pork taken down and
thrown into the front yard. She then
srrinkled over each piece some soda
and damp -four. The soda soon took
on a kind of corroding, greenish look.
Soon the yard was full of blue coats.
They looked at the powdered pork
longingly, but suspiciously.
whats the matter with this meat9''
they asked.
81 do not KNOW replied the lady.
'"The rebels were here last night and
fixed it up"
If each piece had been soaked In
strychnine the Yankees would not
have been more careful to let it alone.
