Tales of the Old Frontier in Franklin currency
In a fictional history, Franklin state rebels set up a 1784 charter with Gov John Sevier as Nolichucky Jack. Lacking coin, they use coon and fox skins as money with beaver and otter skins valued higher, plus bacon and whisky as tender. After brief autonomy, armed control ends in 1790 with return to the federal government.

Albert Stoll of the state game and conservation department notes the 1923 hunting season had fewer fatalities than the prior year. Six men were killed while hunting before and during deer season, including Charles Carlson, Lloyd Field, Charles Wootinen, Matt Kranzec, and others, with no deer-hunter deaths in the lower peninsula. Three elk from the department’s Montgomery county herd were killed this year, repeating last season’s loss.
