NV it. We amt got DO yoonanimity-
we amt got nothin to fite for, and the

Then agin, our management hez bin

Rosecrans, particklerly ez hundreds Nv

stuck in their throats. 1 must confess
that they made a brave attempt at it,
but they looked sick while they did it.
Their efforts to hurrah for Rosecrans, and
the face they made NV it reminded me

me Nv my friend Brown.
