The cars drew up at the depot at Montgomery, and we were directed to go to the hospital.

When we got off the cars, little huckster stands were everywhere--apples, oranges, peaches, watermelons, everything.

I know that I never saw a greater display of eatables in my whole life.

I was particularly attracted toward an old lady's stand; she had bread, fish, and hard boiled eggs.
The eggs were what I was hungry for.

Says I: "Madam, how do you sell your eggs ?" "Two for a dollar," she said.
"How much is your fish worth ?" "A piece of bread and a piece of fish for a dollar." "Well, madam, put out your fish and eggs." The fish were hot and done to a crisp--actually frying in my mouth, crackling and singing as I bit off a bite.
