"You don't remember me?" said the gen'l'm'n. "Can't say I do," says my father. "Oh, I know you," says the gen'l'm'n: "know'd you when you was a boy," says he.

"I had good eyes in dem days, ef I ain't got um now, en way up de big road I see Mars Jeems a comm'. Hit wuz too fur fer ter see his face, but I know'd 'im by de filly w'at I raise fer 'im, en she wuz a prancin' like a school-gal.
