Buried Treasure

Mr. E. M. Bass, of the well known house of E. M. Bass & Co., is counting a pile of Mexican and Spanish coins and trying to decipher the various descriptions and peculiar marks on them. Mr. Bass and his brother own a farm near Carrollton, and Friday the mon"y was plowed up in the fielc by an oíd negro farm hand. The coins had been buried for years near the stump of an old tree, and their dis covery was entirely accidental. The ol( man's plow t'irned one of the pioces o; money out of the ground, and a little work resulted in the finding of over $100. The coin must have been buriec flfty or more years ago, for the mos recent date on any of the pieces is 1838 The oldest of the coins is a Spanish 2. cent piece, whicb bears the daie o; 1746. Many of the smaller coins hav holes punched in them and look as i they had been worn strung around the neck of some person. The coins were brought to Atlanta yesterday by Mr. Bass' binther and given to hira to dispose of. The old man who found them proinptly reported it to Mr. Bass, who says he intends to give the proceeds of their sale to him, says the Atlanta Constitution. Many of the coin3 are very quaint ,and there is no doubt, many a collector of such things that would be deüghted to get hold of
