Demanded Gold for His Cotton.

A few days ago Mr. Cole Nall was asked by a big farmer in this county to go out and buy his cotton, which he had not sold for three years. Mr, Nall went out, weighed and classified the cotton, which amounted to $14,000. Mr. Nall was about to write a check for that amount when the farmer said he would not accept anything but fivedollar gold pieces. Mr. Nall went to the New South Savings Bank and got 2,800 five-dollar pieces and carried them to him, whereupon the farmer got out a jug and counted them into it for burial purposes.—Barnesville (Ga.)
