Rensselaer Republican, Volume 23, Number 13, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 November 1890 — “Money Goes.” [ARTICLE]

“Money Goes.”

Chicago Times. Tie*old saying that "money goes,” was illustrated recently. A customer tendered a S2O bill. The tradesman had it changed by a neighbor, who, being in a hurry, gave a pocket piece of $lO in gold ot the issue of 1861, which he prized highly and did not want to part with. He went t.o the tradesman as soon as he had given the valued coin, and the latter went out and hunted up tho customer to whom he had given it. He had bought some cigars at a neighboring store and had given the gold piece in payment. Upon gein j to tho cigar store it was found that thu proprietor had transferred the coin to a saloon keeper near by, and at that place it was found that the saloon keeper had used it iu liquidating his brewery bill. Tho next day a neighbor went to tfod brewery and found that the cashier of that institution had just parted with the coveted piece of money to a dissatisfied employe. The individual was at last located and the coin recovered.
