D. A. Killebrew ordered some new cotton seed to plant which have come up, and P. H. Zeigler said the cotton had a nickle on each leaf. Some of you men may not believe it but we have Mr. Zeigler's word for it. I think Mr. Zeigler ought to have the cake.
1913 slang
Don’t know if it is about cotton prices going up or diseased cotton or something else.
(The Lexington Advertiser May 23 1913)
