The slari’lard of value in China Is the

American money, as exchange Is nu\f

The Mexican silver dollar fs the cur- j

great risk in taking them, for there are
thousands of counterfeits and sweated
dollars in circulation
There Is also a British small silver coin.

WRITE A PLAIN DESCRIPTION OF THEM
AND SEND IT TO THE CONSTITUTION.
WE WILL PUBLISH IT IN OUR -
SPECIAL EXPOSITION EDITION
Which will be issued about September ist. There are thousands of people throughout the South who would
like to sell their farms, yet do not wish to spend s<o or SSO necessary to advertise them. In order to assist
the people in this respect, we have decided to issue a Special Exposition Edition and to insert an advertise
ment for every one who has property for sale. This Special Edition will go right before the people are able
and desire to buy property in the South, and you will thus be put in direct communication with them. The
j tide of immigration from the West and Northwest has set in and thousands of farms in the South will be
sold at good prices within the next year. You perhaps can sell your property if you will write a brief
description and send to us. State about what price you will take for it. Write your name and address
plainly. Only a nominal charge is made for inserting the advertisement in THE CONSTITUTION. Write
out just what you want, send to us and we will edit and insert it for the small sum of $2. We will not
ope® accounts, and the $2 must be sent with the order. Remember you have but a short time, so act at
once if you wish to place your property before the people who wish and have the money with which to buy
it. Let every one who has property for sale act in this matter. By spending two dollars you doubtless
will sell your place. Address
