which they had paid for luXurics mt differ

can of peaches in the days of 1S49 An
other, who had raised cattle on the plains
in 1860, had bid against n cowboy for
bunch of grapes until the price was So. 80,
but he got the grapes. One of the party
had exchanged $635 for pair of shoes,
but he had been an officer, and the money
was i'll Confederate bills, which weren't
worth their weight in paper.
