Translation for city slickers (non-hill people):

     The most disappointed man I know is Zeb Pike. The doctor told him he didn't have long to live, then Zeb spent all of his money and got well.
     Alex Bitts, cashier of the Whistleville Trust Bank, was so interested in flying airplanes that he spent most of his time and money in the air. Even the bank went up.
