"HOwever scarce money may be h
times at the present" said an old Mis-
sourian, 1.-The Oldest Inhabitants will
recall when it was almost unobtain-
able and other commodities had to
be used as media Of exchange. The
VOLTS scalp was worth dollar be-
cause it was a State bounty upon the
death of a wolf, and venison hams
and deer skins also had purchasing
value. Skins OF the fur bearers were
likewise abundant and valuable.
When the first Sheriff OF Audrain
County, in 1897. went to Jefferson
City to deliver the county revenue,
he met an old friend on the way who,
needing money. wanted to borrow the
actual coin part of the county's rev.
enue. The good hearted Sheriff lent
it to him and went on to the capital
and delivered only the scalps. BY the
time OF the next settlement the loan
was repaid and the Sheriff made his
next settlement complete. No note
or other obligation than the mere
word was given columbia Herald.
