Chriatmns day, lSfid.
Forty years sit^o I was.sick in the
hospital at Fai in villi-, \ a. The
rations given us there was crackers
and p >or beef one day, and. lor a
change, poor beef and crackers
the next. So wo were resolved to
have something else if we conld
find it. Going out we invested S;"
in a pound of butler and $1 hi a
baker's loaf and returned to out
quarters to sample our grub. Well
we never will forget that butter
for being so salty. Wo thought
it must have been made in a huge
family, and all bands bad taken
time about in salting it. Our ward
master tried u and lie said it had
been dugout of a salt mine, and
we just passed it around free. An
old Georgian said I was the mod
liberal Carolinian be ever met wi.l
to treat on butter that Coat i
