young children.
There have been SO many versions drowned in

"sneed county buildings IT'S sneesingiy SAID
That our rich healthy county hasn't even shed
To Keep rain from her records don't get in pet,
Our county can build without making debt.
Now, her income Is large, yet most of It's spent,
And she'll hardly get rich by the paying Of rent,
Looking back on the past for q number OF years,
We've been clssniy and Handsomely fooled 1t appe ar,
Let's be sensible now, and we'll stop tho repeat
That the county Of Clayton has no county seat,
We may talk about dignity just We please,

But there's need Of that you know how it's done
Come out and be earnest, and honest and true,
And the case will present quite different view,
Take the corner, the centre. which sids you will,
And aftsrwssds ebesrfuliy ray us the bill. OK.
