A barrel of salt substituted
for a barrel of beer, is the latest.
A Meade farmer ordered a bar
rel of beer. 1t was delivered to
him at the depot, he loaded it in
his wagon and came back down
town to get supplies. While he
was thus engaged, someone who
wanted barrel of beer worse
than they did a barrel of salt,
without his consent or know
ledge, traded with him. He
loaded his supplies in the wagon
and started home. When about
two miles out of town, the owner
of the barrel, decided to sample
the contents. 1t was then that
the mistake ri was discovered.
