'It Was Gone Forever'
-- Pleasantville News --

Ten years ago a farmer put his initials on a dollar, went to town and spent it with a merchant. Before the year was out he got the dollar back. Four times in six years the dollar came back to him for produce and three times he heard of it in the pockets of his neighbors.

The last time he got it, four years ago, he sent it to a mail order house. He has not seen that dollar since and never will. That dollar will never pay any more school or road tax for him, will never build up any or brighten the homes of the community. He sent it entirely out of the circle of usefulness to himself.
