..............the rear window

from the mansfield daily banner and shield(the demcratic paper in the area) january 2, 1900--there was no new years day paper.

2 interesting topics of that day were:

1. the possible use of motor vehicles in future warfare

2. new powers conferred on the u.s. secretary of the treasury.

(note that the u.s. greenback was backed by, and redeemable for, gold in those days.
