The Carbonate Nc,o Era advocates
the policy of peuning the hogs Of that
thriving town. Of course, the hog owners,
I who desire to fatten their porkers at the
expense of their neighbors, object. The
Era attributes the following "pome tc
one Of the dead-beat swine owners:
o, marshal, spare that hog,
Touch not his Lengthy snoot,
= But Kill that ugly dog
And let the porker root.
Hes only hlnting grubs
There, under Spooney's fence.
And chImplng little shrubs
That arn't worth fifteen cents,
, You say he'll "sple that yard
And peel that little tree
But ,hen he's gann' lard
IT makes him plump, you see.
All of my hogs are fat
Aud I've got fifteen head,
And some weigh more than that
| And don't cost me u red,
| For never keepapig
| Unless he's on the root,
, Ard wIlin' for to dig
His livln with his snoot.
You say the walks are sights,
And many folks object;
But amt a hog gotrghts
That people should respect
want my shos,s to run
And fstten on the street,
So can make some money
Sellin' of their meat.
| For buyers-there's a host,
And when they want a slice,
The folks who feed 'em most
shall pay tae highest price.
