Страница 2 - sa kind o' thing Thet don't agree with niggers. I du believe the people want A tax on teas an' coffees, Thet nothin' aint extravygunt, — Purvidin' I 'm in office; Fer I hev loved my country sence My eye-teeth filled their sockets, An' Uncle Sam I reverence, Partic'larly his pockets.
Страница 50 - Dilliard, and they come to the big swamp, and it was up, as I was telling you ; but being as how there was a log across the big swamp, cousin Sally Dilliard and Mose, like genteel folks, they walked the log ; but my wife, like a darned fool, hoisted her coats and waded through.
Страница 48 - Dilliard she came over to our house and axed me if my wife she moutn't go CHOPS. There it is again. Witness, please to stop. WITNESS. Well, sir, what do you want? CHOPS.
