there can be no good reason for this

In the early day Of the settlement
of Western Pennsylvania there lived
there well-to-do farmer named
OBurn, on Stone Creek. In l777
he raised a thousand bushels of
wheat. 1t was time of very great
scarcity and wheat was so high no
poor man could buy it. People came
from all parts to buy of O'Burn, and
this was hisway of dealing.
A man reported to be rich would
ride up to O'Burn's house and ask
if he had wheat.
Plenty of it. Have you anS
money to pay for it?
Certainly.
Have you bags to put it into and
horses to carry it?
"Oh, yes; eyerything;" would be
the reply.
"Well then" O'Burn would say.
"you can go to Big Valley for your
wheat; mine is for people who have
no money to pay for wheat no bags
to put wheat in and no horses to
carry it Off"
