Hail patrons Of the democrat d.
It's carriers wishes hear, ..pql.
While you and be are only at
The threshold of "New Year." 1.a
For last night with excess Of age ~
The old year calmly died;
And with today another comes jrsil
And takes all on his tide.
And first of all his wishes are,
That with the year that's dead q a,
Had died your trouble, grief and care,
which live while joys have fed. 1l
He would that in the year that's come
Good luck and all Of that,
May be the lot Of every one
Who takes the "Democrat."
To those who'vc lately taken wives,
AS greatest of all joys),
He wishes that. this year may bring
A humping boy, or boys;
Unless their fair and better halves ita
A girl would fancy more
In such case the women ought
10 have their way, he's sure.
To farmers-mainspriug of the land
Throughout the whole South West,
He wishes first splendid stand
And then crop the best. ~.
And when the picking seasons o'ers
Aud they have packed their bales,
That they may never have made more,
Nor ne'er made better sales.
To honest tradesmen of all kinds, i. a
He also begs to say, ia
He wishes what must please their minds
More work and better pay.
And that with these they may grow rct
And live long to enjoy
The fruits of that hard labor which
Did once their time employ. 5 - i.a.
To every merchant in the town
He wishes sales so large, W
AS shall induce him to put down 'rta
Some things at lower charge.
And while he's on the subject, too,
Although he dislikes to tattle,
He'll just remark that splendid goods Is.
Are sold by Greer & Battails. n5ar ~
And then at Morris Reiman's, too,
Are dry goods Of all kinds, na,
And though they be sold by Jew,
You'll rarely better find. r ser
And Franklih's-further down the street
(Another Jew:housc; try it).
They say be sells almost as cheap
As Harrison and hyatt.
And whatsoever has wife,
And's not afraid he'll "spile"her,
He would advise him, on his life,
To buy her "gift" Of Tyler,
Who sells all sorts of pretty things
Watches with enameed cases,
Bracelets fine, and diamond rings,
To win a wife's good graces
IIH fIH|. e..
There other houses also be, a
To name which he's not time,
And if be had you clearly see
He could not make them rhyme.
For instance there is Peter Cooks,
And DR.. 7. & Compton,
Who'll sell you Drugs and divers books,
So, too, will Gray & Thompson.
And if there be in all the town
A man so far besotted, a
AS to drink good liquor and not frOwu
He will just be ''dod rotted," tbn
If he'll go downto "Grubb's Saloon,
And take along a quarter),
If he don't get liquid soon
That's far ahead of water.
And he would further parley gain
To say q word or two
About the women and the men
OF the City Of Yazoo.
The men are gallant, brave and kind,
Except q very few,
And rich in treasures of the mind,
And rich in morals too-(n horn.
The women-bless the angel racel i
(Save too who beat the DeviD--
Beat all the world for modest grace
Aud everything not evil,
The married ones are very fairp
Those not, extremelyso. 9A ta
And both are gay and debonair
As any be doth know.
