Jack Perryman Loses Money

Jack Perryman, the old Negro, who has been living in Talbotton for years, has 
bout concluded that the best place to put money for safe keeping is in a bank.  
The event, which caused Jack to come to this conclusion, happened last week, 
while he was away from home on a visit to Columbus.

Jack had about a hundred and fourteen dollars, which he had secreted, in the 
ground, near the door of his house in Talbotton.  He had the money well buried 
in the earth and thought it was secure.  When he came home from Columbus, he 
discovered that someone had “discovered his coin”, and that he was more than 
one hundred dollars poorer than when he left home.

Jack is a hardworking Negro and saves his money.  A few years ago, he dug up 
about five hundred dollars, which he had concealed near his home, and gave it 
to his daughter to buy a house.  It is said that he has a thousand or more 
dollars on hand now.  Up to this time, he has never deposited any of his funds 
in the bank, but it is more than probable that he will do so in the future.
