Adventures in Smithburg visit ends with odd reception
The narrator visits Smithburg to collect a debtor, finds a raucous welcome led by General Smith, Deacon Jones, and local figures, including the postmaster Higginbotham. A breakfast display, crowd adulation, and a private talk precede a public departure on the train. The day ends with a revelation that boots marked President Pierce caused the spectacle.
