Yesterday we were shown an old United State note, the face value of whioh was sixty dollars, which was found in some old papers by Dr. Chas Scoggin, who has been visiting his grandfather, Mr. J. F. Johnson, in this oounty. Dr. Scoggin lives in Gilmer, Texas, and found the note in some old papers belonging to bis father, which had been left by that entleman in the possion of Mr. ohnson. . The note is of queer shape and peculiar design, has “United State of North America” printed upon its edges, and the back of it is decorated by a tobacco leaf and indigo plant, the principal pro ducts of this country in those days It was printed from a wood cut by Hall & Sellers. Below is a copy of the note, with the exception of the designs and mottoes: No. 156950. SIXTY DOLLARS. junior K irtner and fi ock where he does business. You stylish girls do not like him.

Girls tie to these wool hat boys and they will take care of you. "A beautiful girl of this city ar ranged to atteud a wine supper last week. When the night came she sent word saying, ‘I can’t go; my heart baa been touched at the meet ings.’ Now |she has brought three of her associates hero with her.— What do you waut of wine suppers, ob, mothers?.

There was no uprising —not one. “Mothers, overhaul your libraries. A young girl once said she was ter ribly bored by reading the bible. The poor, silly, sap-headed tbiDg. gome mothers fix their daughters to be damned. They insist on having little parties for their children. A little party is a big party in short clothes.

HE ATTACKS QUIBBLING CHRISTIANS From the Chicago News. Iu his sermon Mr. Jones spoke of those Christians who are outside of the church aud of those people who claim to goodness without belonging to the church. He said: “Some people Bay, my father nev er belonged to the church. I have a contempt for a man whose wife keeps bragging about him I never heard a sylabub talking that way but what Joseph Hutton in a letter written from Euglaud Bays: A list of Ameri can women patentees has called the attention of social reformers to this interesting subject, and while the number on this side of the Atlantic of women who have taken out pat ents for new inventions is very small indeed when compared with those of the United States, the number of f mtentB grunted to women from Ju- y, 1884, to the end of March in the current year of 1885 shows a great inorease on previous years,and ia not without special interest at the pres ent moment.

While an American woman invents the Barton borne’shoe machine, an English woman takes out a patent for an improved pea*soup; while Mrs. Mary E.

She did not believe that she would be bung, and laughed ull the way to the gallows. She is repre sented to have been a beautiful wo man, and on the day of execution elegantly dressed herself, putting on white kid gloves as if goiog to wedding. Qn the poplar tree, standing on Main street, just below,' opposite the Residence of the late J udge Gar nett Andrews, a white man named Bramhtt was exeouted, charged with being accessory to tho murder of some orphan children that he might oome in possession of the property. - The other poplar tree, which is porllaps the largest treeiu the state, stands in tho rear of the elegant bouse of Cupt, G. A. Alexander, has ;ot a diameter of 27 feet iu circutu- erence. Under its umbrageous shades the first synod of the Fre^- byteriau church was held that con vened in Georgia in 1799, and un der it was that the first Presbyteri an minister, Rev. Dr. Springer, was ordained and set apart to the work of the ministry. A gentleman living a few mileg from Americas has a fine litter ,ot pigs on bis farm and took much de* light in watching them.
