The Hillsborough recorder. [volume] (Hillsborough, N.C.) 1820-1879, 1870-02-16

We bought cradle I'm Raleigh.
Then went 10 the Legislature. We did.
Never had 20 nice 4 time In our life. They were
alLeating goobcr peas and We did too.
There were two or three men speakin' splendid
at the same time. Everybody eat burnt goobers.
A big fat man named schoiTner wasin the chair.
He appeared 10 have no sense Al all, but the sai-
test man we ever saw FOR holding calf out at The
COW pen, or Tor mauling rails at Jocis hundred
when rails were nightly needed in his neighbOr-
hood. But we had splendid time. There was
20 much free and easy doin's. One member told
us he had chawed up plug oftobaeco that MORN
Ing and had thrown his guilds at members head
because the same member had stuck pin In him
the day before. The man In the chair heard our
conversation and he smiled. Then he raped and
called to order. And everything got y still a the
deyil before day. Except the stately treading %
anig,er senator named Galloway who was pacing
about like a eiaybank jackass on muster day and
Over and anon running his fingers through hi
matted wool as Ifhe had search warrant TO linda
flea. AS serene landscape as we ever beheli IS
our Legislature.
