“Billot jist laffed at him.”
Well, what do you think? Jobe sold his hay and wheat to Billot, the miller, and took Billot’s note for $37.60, and yisterday, when Jobe went to git his money, Billot counted him out paper money for the amount.
Jobe told him that he wanted gold.
Billot jist laffed at him, and told Jobe that paper money was legal tender in sich bizness as this.
“Jobe he got mad and called Billot a Populist.”
Jobe told him that we was on a “gold basis,” and that he had to have gold to pay Banker Vinting his interest.
Billot said he had nothin to do with Jobe’s interest or Banker Vinting; that Jobe could take that paper money or nothin.
Jobe he got mad and called Billot a crank and a Populist and all sich terrible names.
