Say few words.
Col. Stratton, the temporary secretary of the
Army of the James Association, was next called
on. His speech was full OF humor and he was
the recipient of great applause. He began by
saying that in the army all the big guns were
fred first to frighten the enemy and the small
guns afterward, and it seemed to him as though
the chairman had done the same thing here
this evening. He had nothing to say; every
thing had been s,id and he was in the
position OF colored preacher who loved
chicken. And, added he, .'if there is any,
thing colored man, a Methodist preacher or a
soldier likes, it is chicken. This old preacher
was invited to dinner where chicken WAS going
to be served. So he tasted for two days in order
to get an appetite. and just as he was ready to
go to the dinner couple came in and he had TO
marry them. This detained him somewhat, and
he hurried to the house where the dinner was
to be served only to find that the guests were
leaving the table with piles Of chickens bones
on their plates. He felt sad. and when the
hostess asked him to sit down and eat some
thing he did SO. To further aggravate his
wounded feelings she asked him if he would
not ask blessing. He did SO, and this was his
blessing:
