Ring Currency and the First Gold and
Silver Coins.

Ring Currency and the First Gold and
Silver Coins.
Earliest history refers Familiarity
to the use of gold and silver as
purchasing medium, but the metals
were exchanged in the form of bars
or dust for many centuries. Even
today the Chinese prefer their gold
and silver in bullion form.
The credit of making the first
gold coins is given to the Lydians
by Herodotus, and the first silver
coins are supposed to have been
minted on the island of Egina, $50
B. g. There are to be found in the
various large museums of the world
coins of Persia issued $50 B. G. The
earliest coins known in Palestine
were called Daric, or kings money
(from Darius), and were coined 45O
B. G.
In the year 139 B. G. Antiochus
VII. granted the privilege of coin
ing money among the Jews to ST.
mon Maccabeus, and the various
pieces are dated ain the first (or
second) year of Simon, benefactoI
of the Jews, high priest"
The earliest Biblical mention OF
wealth is that of Abraham when he
left Egypt to return to Canaan and
the 1000 pieces of silver that Abim-
elech gave Abraham for Sarah's
use. Abraham bought the cave OF
Machpelah and weighed to Ephron
400 shekels of silver. Achen stole
a wedge of gold weighing fifty
shekels.
In the east in all ages jewels have
been regarded as convenient
method of transferring and holding
wealth. Prior to the first coming
Egyptian and perhaps other ''mon-
ey" was made into rings for the
sake of convenience, and the bun
dies of money carried by the sons of
Jacob when they went into Egypt
to buy corn were doubtless strings
of gold or silver rings of fixed
weight.
Fortunately it has been the Gus
tom from earliest times to date
coins in some manner, and by their
aid it has been possible to prove the
truth of legends and traditions even
after centuries, and the finding of
a single coin has often served to
throw great light on dark page
of history. Emmett Campbell Hall

What Do Yoa Think of Our Town?

Well that is a pretty direct
question and one, too, which
might be answered in a great
variety Of ways. Bot a mod
est opinion concerning the
question, and from one ex-
poets to make this his home,
may possibly be read with
some interest by citizens.
Our town is indeed, "beauti-
full for situation Nature
seems to have done her ut
most in creating a fine site
for a city of genuine worth
and enduring progress. It
would thus seem that Nature
must have designed this
particular locality for a noble
and high minded class of citi-
zens. Nature, IN this respect
has evidently met with a gen.
uine response. Every town
or city has an individuality,
a. type of it's own, and thus
attracts citizens of the same
general Observation-Disclosures a
great extent, at least we think
this is true.
The people here are observ-
ed to be thoughtful, kind,
sympathetic and helpful to
one another. And, as the
Postum man is won't to say,
'"There's a reason.-'' This is
pre-eminently a city of homes.
The very atmosphere of
things imparts to one a rest
full feeling. a thoughtful spirit
and all is conducive to the
development and growth of
the higher ideals.
In speaking of our town as
a city of homes, however we
do not mean to say that it is
not also a place of substan-
tial business interests. By
no means.
The farming business is
now coming to point where
it is generally recognized as
the most prosperous business
going, offering the best
future and the brightest
prospects. That being so
there will be no trouble about
keeping the boy on the farm
for he will be keen to see
that it is the best place to
make money, gain the respect
of his fellow men. and obtain
that standing amongst men,
which is the ambition Of every
right-minded boy. It is to
gam these things that he has
heretofore gone to the city;
it is to gain these things that
he will hereafter stay on the
farm and that will send the
youths of the city to join him.
All he wants to know is as to
what pays best in the sum of
human happiness and comfort
and success. It is now being
demonstrated that in all these
things the farm offers the
best opportunities.

The Cuban situation is excit-

The Cuban situation is excit-
ing much interest in political
and official life. President Taft
stopped in Cuba on his recent
return from Panama. He talked
with representatives of both
factions. The President Of
Cuba, it seems, wants to per-
petuate his presidency by re-
election. President Taft, per-
haps, does not consider this
unnatural, but the ways and
tricks of perpetuation in Gu ba,
in Mexico, in Central America,
in fact, wherever Spanish pre-
cedents and customs prevail,
are not according to Anglo
Saxon ideals, although they may
find parallels in Anglo-Saxon
practice. Our grand motherly
interest in our Latin neighbors
may yet result in our giving
them a Porto Rico or PHILIPPINE
government under the flag.
There have been official denials
of early interventions in Cuban
affairs. Nevertheless, it is
known that the entire American
battle-ship feet with twelve or
fifteen hundred marines aboard
will be at Guantanamo early in
January and it is said that five
thousand United States soldiers
fully equipped can be landed in
Cuba in three days.
