Mr.. L. F. Virgins, of the Middle
burg section, has three rare old scoins.
that coin dealers and relict hunters

We had an agreeable call Tuesday
from Mr.. w. 7. Espy, representing
the James II. Johnson Company, well
known proprietary medicine manufac-

long in doing. Mr.. Dorsey will handle
their goods.
A large number of counterfeit coins
are in circulation The Bland silver
dollar and new quarter are the prin-
clpal ones. 1t takes almost an expert
to detect them. Our friends should
bear i'll mind that we have no idea of
declining to receive money Oh account
of subscriptions and advertisements
simply because there is danger of get
ting counterfeit coin passed off Oh US.
Wen take the chances.
This is the time of year when the de
linquent tax lists are published in Ger
tain portions Of the State. We have
noticed our exchanges quite closely and
80 far have failed to find single
county with as small list as Vance.
Aud we have remarked on this fact
before. This speaks we'll for our
people-that the names of such small
percentage of the population appear as
delinquent in paying their taxes.
In another place reference is made
to the small number of persons whose
names appear in the delinquent tax
lists, as compared with other counties.
This is due in a large part to Sheriff
Powell's success as a collector. So
clever and agreeable man is he to do
business with that it becomes a pleas
ure almost to pay ones taxes even
as grudgingly as such money is usually
parted with by the average citizen.
Miss Sallie CIary, Miss Mamie Wyche
and Miss Lizzie Lewis are with us and
would be pleased to have their friends
call and see them. DAVIS & ROSE.
Every mother will be interested in the
