Marion County Coons.
Mr.. Editors:

Mr.. Editor:
l have seen great coons in my
life, as l used to room the Sulphur
Bottom in the eos, have seen Cnl-
lum Baker, the great desperate,
in those times, but Marion county
coons are the boldest coons ever
saw. On yesterday evening lit
tie boy from the city was out at
my house on visit to my boys,
and like all boys on a cloudy and
gloomy day, strolled out in the
evening for frolic, and know ye
scribe lives inside the city limits,
to his sorrow. Well. the boys
were gone for quite awhile, and as
my wife generally camps on the
track of our boys. she was out in
the road calling them pretty soon,
as the weather looked bad. She
said she saw them at the old Hay
wood place which is few hun
dred yards north OF my place. At
this place there are three or four
tall cedar trees where the old house
used to stand. In one of these
trees they had spied Mr.. Coon; 80
they were having big fun giving
Mr.. Coon a dose of brick bats-fun
for the boys but not for the coon.
About this time an old slavery
soon spied the boys; so he rushed
up. and then the coon fight began.
Well, one of the boys climbed the
tree three times and the coon would
jump out and get up another tree.
But the last time the country coon
jumped to the ground the town
coon stepped on his head and held
him down and mashed his head
just what all coons get when lit.
tie too bold. So the old coon took
the young coon and gave the boys
the hide. TRUCK FARMER.

GOVERNMENT FUNDS
To The Amount Of $20.000,000 With
drawn From aBrks.

Washington, March 21.--The secre-
t2ry of the treasury will probably call
for a withdrawal of a large percentage
of the funds which the government has
on deposit i'll national banks some time
next month Or Very carry il May. The
plan is to withdraw q per cent of the
deposits. which would amount to APP
prOXimately 100000 COO Secreta Shaw's
idea is that by Withdrawing these funds
III the spring, when honey conditions
are easy, the government will be in a
bettCr position to oXtend aid to the
money market next fdl! during the
crop moving season i'll case there
should be a stringent; OF funds for
commercial uses.
The cash balance OF the treasury
proper is now about $40 GOO OOO which
III the opinion of Mr.. Shaw is large
enough For the ordinlry needs of the
government; and his proposal to with
draw about s2OOO0,G00 from the banks
is dictated solely b. the interests of TIL,
public. His theory is that the necessity
exists under our present system of US
ing artificial means to produce elastici-
tv. To this end he would reduce thu
funds on deposit in the hanks in the
sprinS and expand them if necessary
in the autumn months, when the great
est volume of currency is needed in
general circulation.
