"That's so," said Ezra Phelps, "everybody knows as these tew counties be taxed higher nor the other eend o' the state." "Hev yew paid up ye taxes fer las' year, Peleg?" inquired Abner.

After the haw-haw over Peleg's description had subsided, he added, with a grin, "Klector Williams he hain't thort tew call baout them taxes, sence Tewsday, nuther. Hev any on ye seen nothin on him?"
