The dollars are of two kinds, half of the issue of 250,000 having Jefferson’s picture and half Me Kin ley ’b. They ore very handsome coins and said by good judges to be the finest ever coined. They are sold, beautifully mounted in brooch, stick pin or charm, for $3. What profit there is made in the sale is for the benefit of the World’s Fair. Orders can be left at the First National Bank.
