Wen, saw this man going 10 town
the first spring he lived on the farm,

little punches Of onions, aud l saw
him buy one dollars worth Of sugar
and one dollars worth OF coffee with
his vegetables. Subsequently,
saw him go 10 the city with basket
full OF eggs, some new potatoes, some
cabbage and several other articles Ia
the vegetable line, and he returned
home with tea, coffee, sugar, shoes,
