with whom he was well acquainted. He lived so near Orange 

 County that he thought he could venture to stamp it Orange 

 County butter, and it sold at a very high price. He ran that 

 farm some two or three years, and then went West. He thought 

 he would get nearer his market, and moved into the vicinity of 

 Chicago. Living so near he had not the face to mark his butter 

 " Orange County," so he sent it to the same market in Mr. 

 White's name. They said they did not want any of that mark ; 

 they did not want anything but Orange butter ; they couldn't 

 sell it. Seeing what the trouble was, he ventured to stamp his 

 butter " Orange County," and he never had any difficulty after 

 that in selling his butter.
