| "It was about 1837 that the Newport Lyceum was incorporated. This literary institution soon, by some hocus pocus, turned itself into a bank, with Major Helms as the President and John W. Goddard, Cashier. The affair soon collapsed, and many fingers were burned. John W. Tibbatts, one of the mot talented men Newport ever knew, was concerned in the bank, and also in a woolen mill, which stood on part of the ground now occupied by Gaylord's foundry. Through this agency, the notes of the bank were redeemed in jeans at $1 a yard - a yard of jean for a dollar of Newport Lyceum bank money. One of these notes are still in existence; one is pasted on the door in Barlow's bar room.” From Covington's Saturday Advertiser, April 12, 1873 |
