So realistic was his style that Mr. Bond added, 'I could almost' hear the dishes rattle and the glasses gingle, while my mouth watered for the feast.' ; -; "Any man! in "Eastern North Carolina! who is flf ty.ylars of age will tell you there' never was suh an orator as Kenneth Ray-, : "I heard Hnry W.
