Its serial is No. 1, issue of 1862. I saw it the other day in Carrollton. It is the property of the Greene County State bank. Stuart E. Pierson, cashier, showed it to me and told me the story. David E. Pierson, his grandfather I believe, was a friend of Abraham Lincoln. (Wh^n the first issue of greenbacks was printed in 1862, David E. Pierson was in Washington. When he returned to Carrollton he carried with him the first two hundred five dollar bills issued by the United States treasury department. Those two hundred bills, still intact, are the property of the bank. Fancy prices have been offered for them by collectors but not one of them has ever been sold. Except that they are browned a bit at the edges they are about as fresh and clean as any new dollar bill you can get from your bank in spite of the sixty-five years that have passed over them. History kept bobbing up to greet me in Carrollton.y It's an old town. The first settler came in here in 1818. Five citizens met and chose the site for,, the Greene county court house in 1821. It was built on land bought from Thomas Carlin who became the sixth governor of Illinois. Carlin named the town--in honor of that bold revolutionist who, when his turn jcame to sign the Declaration of Independence put down his name, 1 "Charles Carroll of Carrollton" with the remark that he'd make it easy for any. of the king's constables or his soldiers to find him if they wanted him. Major Marcus A. Reno, whose name was fixed in history when he failed to arrive on time the day. of the Custer massacre in 1876, was born in Carrollton in 1834. Major Reno, West Point graduate, had been all through the Civil War. serving with honor. His failure that day at the battle of the Big Horn wrecked his military career. Col. E. D. Baker, one-time United States senator and close friend of McHENRY, ILLINOIS Lincoln, was a Carrollton man. Baker mentioned pbove, about the so-called "plight of the farmer." Mr. Pierson said: "The fanner has no plight. Plenty of farmers are making money. Plenty of them always have. Smart farmers, the ones who have brains and work and think, are prospering. I'm annoyed by all this talk about farmers not making money and being in hard luck. "Constant agitation of this kind makes a worse farmer out of a poor one. It gives him an alibi. Besides that the agitation has frightened off investors and has beaten down the sales value *bf farms. Farms bring less money because of the talk. I'm out of patience with all this talk about poor times on the farms." And that's that to think about. Last year Carrollton set out to de ».>• * ' .

Since taking Adlerika I can eat and feel fine." (signed) Mrs. A. Howard ONE spoonful Adlerika removes OAS and often brings surprising relief to the stomach. Stops that full, bloated feeling. Removes old waste matter from intestines which you never thought was in your system. Excellent for obstinate constipation. ftacnaB P. Botger, druggist is credited with stopping the '•Lincoln- Shields duel" at Alton. Shields, it appears, challenged Lincoln to a duel. Abe, in his good natur?d way, accepted and chose broadswords. As a swordsman he ranked at zero minus but the idea of broadswords appealed to him. He neglected >he duel until the day for it came. Then he appeared, so the story goes, and whetting his weapon went out to practice. With much vigor he attacked a large patch of jimson weed, utterly demolishing it while the villagers looked on in awe (Webster says jimson is a poisonous, bad-smelling plant of the night shade family.) After Lincoln had thus- made a comedy of the duel Baker stepped in and--perhaps saved the United States a president. Anyway the battle was laughed off. Carrollton is down in the "Lincoln country," Greene county adjoins Pike county where Lincoln lived for many years. I've heard a great many stories of Lincoln in these nvonths of digging around Illinois for stories. I've found so many houses that "Lincoln slept in" that I sometimes wonder if he was ever at home overnight. But I found, at Carrollton, the first man who has yet told me he heard Lincoln and Douglas debate. He is Dr. James Squire, 83 years old. When he was four years old, he recalls, he crawled up on the platform with them and sat through a barrage of oratory. Old timers tell me it was hard down here in the beginning. Land was easy to tret but there was no money. Taxes had to be paid in cash and cash was the farmer's worst problem. Many of them used to go up to Galena in the fall and work in the mines because that was the one way they had of getting money. Radio's substitute then was shelling corn. Farmers used to "shell corn while they rested" during the evenings in their log cabins. Carrollton. center of a first class farm country, hasn't grown much. The population was put at 2,020 in 1920. i Southern ancestry preponderates and as a result the county has persistently been democratic in politics. The southerners drifted north in the beginning, coming up the Mississippi and Illinois rivers on their hunt for better lands. Congressman Henry T. Rainey, twentieth district, is the ranking member-- the oldest in of service-- on the democratic side of the "house" j in Washington. He lives in Carroll-1 ton on a farm just at the edge of | the village. And, it might be said, Congressman Rainey is one of the most influential members of congress in Washington and always' on the job when Illinois' affairs are at stake. (No politics meant in that remark.) Carrollton's growth has been slow; 2,000 people in 100 years--and its first real industry has just come to town. It was started last summer and is called the Carrollton Clay Corp. It is a plant built at a cost of $125,000 and manufactures tile, face brick and building blocks. The business is owned locally and F. A. Whiteside, attorney and banker, is president of the corporation. The company controls 160 acres of clay deposits which include some unusually fine kaolin and pottery clay. Deposits of fire clay have been found nearby and a second company, backed by outside capital largely, is being organized with view to develop-, ing them. These clays were carried m during the glacial period and laid down in veins up to thirty feet deep in the vicinity. With the development of these industries there is a belief some houses will have to be built. Pretty good houses can be rented now in Carrollton at from $15 to $30 a month. In the past one of the chief labors of the countryside has been feeding cattle. The two banks in Carrollton average in cattle loans about $350,- 000 a year. This money goes to buy cattle in St. Louis and Kansas City. 1 asked Stuart Pierson, bank cashier G. A.
