• Ancient Money
  
  
  J.B. Powell, from Wright's station, while trading in town,
  yesterday disposed of several silver half dollars to Thomas
  Henderson & Son, most all of which dated between 1800 and
  1836. Around the edge, where more modern money is now milled
  appeared on these 50-cent pieces the words, "Fifty cents or a 
  half dollar." Mr. Powell said that several years ago his mother 
  divided $450 of this money among the children. He also had in his 
  possession some antiquated silver French coins, over one
  hundred and ten years old.
