AN old Bill,
Relics of the Pioneer
Days Exhibited.
A TAX RECEIPT Of 1872
A Valuable Specimen Of COnti-
mental Currency l22
Years Old.

Alonzo Smith. living between Mas
sillon and Canton. called at the News
Democrat office with a number of an
cient relics. They we're the property
Of his father, Joseph Smith, and his
grandfather. Jacob Smith. The elder
Smith came to this section of Ohio
early in the century, and lived on the
land that Is now used by the city of
Canton as a cite for their waterworks
station. A tax receipt for thirteen cents
on that piece of land was among the
relics exhibited. 1t was given to Jacob
Smith October s. 1912, and was signed
by Samuel Beetem, clerk.
The first tax receipt of Joseph Smith,
for S2.40 was also exhibited. 1t was
given January 20, 1922. "a.
A subscription receipt given at Can
ton, March 2T, 1887, to Jacob Smith by
Z. Kaufman, was also among the col
lection. 1t was for one years subscrip-
tion to the Vaterlandstround, and paid
to number % Of the 9th volume.
But the rare gem, from an antiquar-
ian's view, Is q 81 bill of continental
currency. 1t was issued by authority of
the Continental congress in session at
Philadelphia. September 26, 177S, and
consequently was 122 years old last Sep
tember. Across each end of the bill are
the words Continental Currency"
On the body of this bill is this provis-
ion: This bill entities the bearer to
receive seven Spanish milled dollars, of
the value of gold or silver dollar ac-
cording to the resolution of congress at
Philadelphia"
The bill was signed by w. Gibson and
T. Franklin, but their official positions
were not discernable.
The paper is yellow with age, yet well
preserved.
1t is rather surprising to the present
generation that the basis of the value of
the dollars should be Spanish coin, but
when 1t is remembered that all the wes-
tern and southern sections of what is
now the United States at that time be-
longed to Spain, the matter is easily
explained.

THE NEW METHOD OF
SELLING PAPERS
To NewsboysAd Adopted In Alliance
.--NewS-DemOcrat Introduced
the Plan.

On Saturday. the Alliance daily pa
pers over jointly signed card to their
patrons announced the commencement
of selling their newspapers to the
newsboys upon the same plan as was
introduced by the News-Democrat
something over year ago.
The method adopted by the News.
Democrat was to sell the papers to
the newsboys at one-half a cent each
and the boys in their turn sell the pa.
pers for one cent. This plan allows
the boy who delivers the papers as
much from the subscriber as the paper
itself receives and forms a semi.part-
nership that has proved very satisfac-
tory to all concerned.
Under the old plan the carrier was
paid about one cent a subscriber to
deliver the papers to a customer one
week. Under the new plan he gets
three cents per week. This additional
cost of delivery is saved to the news.
paper by the fact that every carrier
and newsboy Is a solicitor, collector
and bookkeeper of his customers, and
the loss of a subscriber is felt by the
boy delivering the paper as much as
by the publishing company.
When this plan adopted by the News.
Democrat was started in Canton the
result was watched by the newspaper
fraternity of this locality with consid-
cradle interest and the decision of the
Alliance publishers to follow the same
plan is accepted as a graceful tribute
of endorsement.
The newsboys are, by this plan.
taught lessons of thrift and business.
When boy desires to quit selling pa
pers he sells his list of subscribers for
sum that is constantly increasing.
Last evening in the carriers room of
the News-Democrat one boy with a
few subscribers sold his list for $3.50,
and within fifteen minutes the same
list was sold for 81, and the purchaser
secured a bargain. The lists of the
News-Democrat represent an income
to the carriers of thousand of dollars
per year and the value of these lists
are becoming apparent.
The publishing company does away
with expensive bookkeeping. collecting
and soliciting departments and to
paper with large circulation the new
plan means great saving and conse-
quent profit.

RENTS GO UP.
There VIII be Sharp Advance In the
Spring.

Rents are going higher. That is
the concensus of opinion among real
estate dealers and those in position
to know. There is continually in
creasing inquiry for houses to rent,
and the demand cannot be met. The
building is not in proportion to the de-
mand and consequently holders of
property are determined to take advan-
tage of the situation to raise the rents
on their houses and storerooms. Those
who have houses for rent claim that
they have as good an investment as
they need and 1t Is hard to buy desir-
able property from those who can af
ford to hold it, it is claimed.
This situation will stimulate build
ing in the spring, and carpenters are
looking forward to busy season. It
is predicted that should the contem-
plated improvements and new indus
tries materialize. the boom would be
q great one, in the building line.

AN ENDURING CURSE.
A Famous English Family That Per-
ished by Fire and Water.

The attempt of the Midhurst district
council to convert the famous "Close
Walks"-four old yew avenues-at
Cowdray, in Sussex, into an arrange
ment of sewage tanks recalls a creepy
story Of fulfilled curse. At the disso
ltftion Of the monasteries Sir Anthony
Browne obtained grant Of Battle Alb.
hey and the priory of Eastbourne, the
parish In which the ruins Of Cowdray
are situated, and according to pic.
turesque tradition one Of the monks
cursed him to his face and prophesied
that "by fire and water" his race
should perish out of the land. What
foundation there may be for the story
no man can say, but unquestionably
the Brownies did so perish.
George Samuel Browne, eighth Wis
count Montague and owner of Cow
dray, who was engaged to Miss Coutts,
sister to Lady Burdett-Coutts' mother,
was drowned In the falls of Laufen-
burg In 1903. The messenger who
brought the news to England met one
going to Germany to inform Lord Mon
tague that Cowdray had been burned!
He was succeeded by a distant rela.
tive, Roman priest, who was dis.
pensed from his vows that he might
marry and continue the line. but he
died a few months afterward and the
title became extinct. The estates went
to the drowned viscount's sister, whose
two sons were drowned together at
Bognor In 1915. 1t is weird story
