United States Paper Money To be Made Smaller.

The size of all United States currency and national bank notes probably will be reduced by one-third and their designs revolutionized by Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh for the sake of economies to the government, convenience to the public, and safety against counterfeiting. This decision practically has been reached by the secretary. It is proposed to make the dimentions six by two and one-half inches. The paper money now in circulation measures 7.28 by 3.04 inches. The designs of all {taper money— United States notes and certificates and national bank notes—would be systematized and made uniform for every denomination. Now is the time to can peaches, while you can get fancy Texas Elbertas at a low price. A car load just

in.
