which Jones is a county Of red hills and stones
And bis mules were nothing but skin and bones,
And his hogs were nat - his cOrn-bread pOnee.
And he had bout thousand acres Of land.
This man-and his name was also Jones
He swore that he'd leave them old red hills and
For he couldn't make nothin' but yellowisb cot
And little OF that, for his fences were rotten,
And what little cotton he had, that was oOughten,
And he couldn't get living from the land.
And the longer he swore the madden he got,
And he rose and he walked to the stable lot,
And he ballooed to Tom to come there and hitch,
For to emigrate somewhere where the land was
And TO quit raising cock burs, thistles and SIGH,
And wasting their time on barren land.

Protesting that folks were mighty big fools

By the time you could plant 1t In the land.
And he drove by house where a man named

And he bsntered Brown to buy his place,
And said tina seeing as money was skace,
And seeing as sheriffs were hard to face.
Two dollars an acre would get the land.
They closed at dollar and fifty cents,

And loaded his corn, and his women and truck,
And moved to Texas which it took
His entire pile, with the hest Of luck,
To get there and get him little land.
But Brown moved out on the old Jones farm,
And he rolled up his brooches and barred his

And he Footed 1t up and plowed it down,
And eowed his corn and wheat In the land.

Was sitting down. sorter laZily,
To the bullicst dinner you ever see,
When one Of the children jumped on his knee
And says, vans Jones, which you bought his
land
And there was Jones, standing out at the fence,
And he hadn't no wagon, nor mules, nor tents,
For he had left Texas afoot and come
To Georgia to see If he couldn't get some
Employment and be was looking as hum

But Brown he asked him in, and he sot

And when he had filed himself and the floor

A NEWARK CONFEDERATION.


Destructive Fire Yesterday Morning-The
''OId Ward Hospital" ia Ru:ns--Loss
$4,000.
The "Old Ward Hospital" large four story brick
building located at the foot Of Centre street. New
ark, directly opposite the Centre street depot OF the
New Jersey Railroad, was totally destroyed by fire
early yesterday morning, involving loss OF proba
bly, $50 900 worth OF property The fire was first dis
covered about half past three O'Clock by Oncer
Thomas Clark. He at once sprang the fire alarm
telegraph, and IN very short time the entire Fire
Department was at The scene. owing. however to
the we'll known fact that the building had long been
regarded as
DANGEROUSLY INSECURE,
the 1remen declined entering 1t and cOntented
themselves by playing on 1t from safe distance.
About hal-past four O'Clock the roof began TO give
way and soon the walls crumbed in also. BY seven
O'Clock the building was complete mass OF ruins.
1t was owned by Mr. Crowley, OF New York. Tor
merry Of tennessee, and occupied by william o.
Headley Son and Jacob LagOwltz, trunk, carpet
bag and vaise manufacturers. There was no per-
son on the premises at the time. About O'Clock,
the surrounding buildings having been secured
against ignition, the remen were served cut crack
ers and cheese
THE LOSSES AND INSURANCE
as near as could be aScertalned are as fOllOws:-
Headey Son, loss $50, 600; insured IN san Fran
cisco company for $4,000. Lagowitz loss $4,000;
companies Crowley on building. $40. 900: nothing
THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE
Is supposed to have been spontaneous combustion,
the materials used in the manufacturing being all
more or less OF cOmbusbe description. The
building was erected some fourteen or fifteen years
ago, and from the very first has been dis.
trusted regarding its safety. 1t has been changed
from one use 70 another several times IN conse-
quence, and a few years ago was absolutely con-
demned. During the war it was used as q military
hospital. hence ITS being called the 'Od Ward Hos
pital." About eighteen months ago 1t had mar
row escape from demolition IN common with other
property destroyed Dy the great cOnhagration on
the wharf directly IN 'front.', when property worth
nearly $3.50, 900 was destroyed. AT that time was
partly burned, so that iron strengthening braces
were introduced. The scene of the runs yesterday
attracted large numbers OF people,
