OLD MONEY CIRCULATING

Did you ever see any United States Frac.
tional Currency? We never did until J. F. Will
liams proprietor of Lexington Shoe Hospital
showed us 25c bill, good legal tender, Saturday
The note has the picture of Robert J. Walker,
Secretary Treasurer of the United States, 1845
on it, Series of 1874, Act of June 80, 1864 issued
through the Columbian Bank Note Company,
Washington, D. C.
This note with 81 gold piece was paid to
Mr.. Williams on Saturday in the purchase of
shoes by an old Holmes County negro man. 1t
is probably the first time this money has been
in circulation in generations. The currency shows
no sign of wear. This is an indication that cur
rent money might be running short with some
people.
We may see and hear of many Believe It

That is the caption of an advertise

tisements we have even seen. The Illus

standing alone and looking into boys

IF fathers could only pour their
hate through the hot barrels of smok-
ing guns and write the records of their
grief with bayonet steel!
"They said I was too old to fight,

"But, if I'm too old to sight and
