With vignette of Slaves picking cotton
May 1, 1862, Jackson, Mississippi, with vignettes of Slaves picking cotton at right, and an Indian with head feathers and a rifle at the ready at left. Cotton Pledged at upper center in green over print. "On Demand, after Proclamation to Present, The State Of Mississippi, Will pay to Bearer, The sum of Fifty Dollars out of proceeds of Cotton Pledged for the Redemption of this Note, at the Treasurer's Office, in Jackson, Mississippi. Issued 1st day of May 1862." Complete with ink signatures of the Auditor and Treasurer. Under the illustration of the Indian there is an imprint that reads, "Receivable in Payment of all Dues to the State and Counties, except for Military Tax." Very fine. |
