Middle Ga. Argus – Week of February 8, 1894
A few days ago, Mr. Cole Nall was asked by a big farmer in this county to go 
out and buy his cotton which he had not sold for three years.  Mr. Nall went 
out, weighed and classified the cotton which amounted to $14,000.  Mr. Nall was 
about to write a check for that amount when the farmer said he would not accept 
anything but $5 gold pieces.  Mr. Nall went to the bank and got 2,800 $5 gold 
pieces, and carried them to him, whereupon the farmer got out a jug and counted 
them into it for burial purposes.  Pike county Journal
