i the latest green goods way of
DOING BUSINESS.
The Fool-biller Alj.ent on « Vacation, and
Freah Victim, CouiIue to the Surface-
Fool, or Knave,, WblehT-Soiue Men
Haven't Time to Head the 1'apera.
Of all the fools in a world of fools, the
fool who expects to fool somebody out
of money by Investing twenty dollars to
win a hundred in the green goods line,
is the champion fool.
Recent developments has uncovered
an individual by the name of Graham,
from Apalachicola, Fla., who was caught
by the following innocent circular:
“If you want to do business with me
pleasantly and In perfect safety send
money as follows: Change whatever
you are going to send into big bills.
Then place the bills between the leaves
of a good sired book; then wrap the
book up securely with heavy wrapping
paper and twiDe. Then take the pack
age to your nearest express office and
ship It to the name and address on en
closed slip. If the express agent asks
you what is In the package, simply tell
him it Is a book you are sending to a
friend. If he asks you the value, simply
laugh and say the package Is
of no value. When I receive your
order I will send you a package
the same way, and then there will be no
suspicion on either end. Do not send
money by express money packages, as I
do not want packages of money coming
In at this end to excite suspicion. lie*
member, send money only In plain pack
age and by express to the namo and ad
dress of enclosed slip. Place your let
ter in the book with your order and
state whatever you want to, how many
you want of each denomination, and
whether you want them old or new. Re
member, address the package to name
and address ou enclosed slip. Another
good way to send money Is to wrap the
| bills up in straw and then put the straw
in a bottle, then wrap tbo bottle in straw
pack it in a little box, and Bliip by ex
press. If the expresi agent ask you
what is in the box tell him that it Is a
bottle containing some roots of plants
you are sending to a friend.”
It Is hardly necessary to express an
opinion in reference to any man who
could be caught by such a transparent
fraud. It Is self-evident that the victim
Is either a scoundrel or a natural born
idiot. And yet when these fellows get
nipped in this bald-headed ‘ and hoary
game, they plead Ignorance and inno
cence, and sit tip a squeal to get their
money back.
To the question, “What did you In
tend to do with counterfeit money?”
the victim has nothing to say of a sane
nature. lie simply tries to wriggle out
of the trap by lying. Ue claims that he
didn't intend to buy counterfeit money;
that ho thought some philanthropic
gentlemen In New York were engaged
in missionary work, and had adopted
this plan to establish a now religion;
that ho thought it was the most natural
thing In the world for benevolent peo
ple to sell a thousand dollars In nice
now money for fifty dollars In old worn-
out bills; aqd a dozen other Idiotic ex
cuses.
Of course, the green goods manipula
tor is a thief. The fellow don’t deny It.
His only attempt at Justification of this
robbery la, that be never robs an boneat
man; that be only catohes and uncovers
a scoundrel wbo is sailing under the
mantle of respectability and honesty
among bis neighbors at boms.
Just so! The fellow tella the truth.
No honest man la ever caught in that
way, or In any other way, by any device,
much leu by one that is to well known
and threadbare u this circular Indicates,
This being universally admitted, the
question la, Which of these two aooun-
erela U the most despicable—the trapper
or bit victim f Which deserves the
severest punishment f The open and
declared thief, or the secret and "re
spectable" one ?

The Sons of the Old Veteran Return.
Americus remembers well the return
of Mr. Kennedy, the old veteran, his
wife and nine boys; how they came all
the way from old Virginia with their
earthly possessions in an ox cart. They
were met by the father’s comrades in
arms; there was rejoicing, and the pa
triotism of the Georgian was rewarded
with a royal welcome. The boys turned
out, the band played “Dixie,” gold, sil
ver and precious gifts were awarded the
plucky family, who domesticated in
Sumter county, and all went well until
the good wife longed to gaze once more
on the mountalLs of her old Virginia
home. To her there was no air so pure,
no sky so blue, no valleys so fertile.
Again the old man made love’s sacri
fice, bitched up his wagon, now drawn
by two sleek horses; and they returned
as they had come the year before, and
in life's busy conflict would probably
have been forgotten.
Last night Mr. Tom Glover was sit
ting in his store when two strangers en
tered, introducing themselves as David
and John, sons of the “old Georgia vet
eran.” They hankered after the land
of their father, the old red clay of Geor
gia, and have returned to live, die and
be bujied in her soil.
Mr. Glover was presented with a beau
tiful luscious peacb of the Indian varie
ty, a remembrance David and John
brought him all the way from North
Carolina. They will doubtless shake
with their Georgia friends to-day.
Thereby Hang* a Tale.
“And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and
ripe,
Ami tticn, from hour to hour, we rot and rot.
Aud thereby hangs a tale.”
And truly, "t’is a talc of woe,” of one
who had Catarrh In the Head, for many
years, and who really had been “rot
ting," from hour to hour, until Dr.
Sage’s Catarrh Homedy came to his
notice. He used It at first with slight
signs of relief, but be persisted until a
permanent cure was effected, and the
world was again pleasant to live in.
From his awful suffering he was set free
by the expenditure of a few dollars In
that Incomparable remedy.

The current expenses of Tax Tihes-
