SEVEN DOLLAR BILL is
COLONIAL DAYS FREAK

Atlanta, Feb. 24.-Doubtless few
people ever heard Of a seven-dollar
bill: certain it is that few ever saw
one. but such bill is being ex-
hibited 10 curious Atlantans by j.
W. Sewer, a printer, who has had
II IN his possession forty years. The
bill was issued by the Continental
Congress in l77s, three years before
the articles OF confederation. were
ratified.
Inscribed on the curious bit of
paper is the following:
This bill entities the owner to
receive seven Spanish milled dollars
or the value thereof in gold or
silver. according TO resolutions pass
ed by Congress in Philadelphia"
Across the margin of the bill is
printed Continental Currency
The present owner Of the bill re-
ceiyed il from John Brewer, of
Ocala. Fla, in whose family II had
been kept for years.

A Good Method
Of Kidding Farms
Of Jack Rabbits

Many farmers have shown an in
terest in knowing the best method of
killing jack rabbits in large numbers,
30 for the benefit Of those whom |
have not told am writing the follow
ing method, which has proven salts
factory in many places:
As rabbits are very fond of alfal-
IA hay ] would suggest its use. Put
one ounce Of strychnin sulfate in
one gallon Of boiling water, add one
Tablespoonful of salt and stir thor
oughly until the poison has dissolved.
Pour this mixture slowly over ten
pounds of bright alfalfa hay, so as
10 saturate the hay well. Place this
poisoned hay out in the fields where
the rabbits are. at about dusk each
evening, as this is the time when rab-
bits feed. Should there be livestock
in the field build a substantial pen
around the poisoned hay, leaving a
SPACE Of about ten inches at the
bottom for the rabbits to go under.
After rabbit has eaten any of
this poisoned alfalfa he will rarely
get more than fifty yards from the
place Pick up the dead ones every
day and repeat the operation every
day, using about a bale of alfalfa
or peanut hay in that length of time.
Should a dog eat one Of these rab-
bits, 1t would OF course poison him al
so. ] would suggest you notify your
neighbors when you intend putting
out poison so as 10 give them an OPP
portunity 20 keep their dogs tied up.

followed its usual rotation, which Is
described as business activity and
increased production. excessive spec
ulation, followed by panic and fore
ed liquidation, business depression
and stagnation and then comes re-
action.
In the recent experience, we
should all be warned, and as we are
now entering into a period OF pros
perity, that a reaction will follow
sooner or later. and II we use the
right kind Of economy so that the
crest may not be reached too rap
idly nor rise too high the subsequent
reaction will be less severe and the
next period industrial and CONNER
cial activity and general prosperity
viii be marked By saner methods,
and by conservative methods as We
prolong this period o. prosperity
