lTIT FOR fAT.u


We oft forgot the golden rule,
And If we chanced to get a spat
We settled 1t with "Tit for Tat"
But when we changed our roundabouts
For coats with tails, we had grave doubts
About the strict propriety,
of keeping up q constant spree.
uttimes have changed since W. weie boy
For now, to have your share Of joys
You must your neighbours oft abuse,
To give your patrons spicy news.
In proof of this your papers read,
And to the Editors give heed,
And you will find their always at
A lively game of "rit for Tat"
One says the others news is stale,
And that his neighbors oft DOH fail
To get the news, Until they see
1t in the little "Every F."
Old "Com." retorts and says that he,
Gives news as fresh as Every E.
10 prove that what he says is true
He gives "quotations," not lew,
But many for to show that he
Has given the s'Tat" 10 Every E"
The other at his files then sit
TO give old "Com." another "rit.'
Old "Com." undaunled ia the fray,
Adjusts his specks without delay,
And searches DER lis neishbor's files
And extracts makes, then camly smiles.
Then he compares them with his files
And heaps the extracts up In piles,
And orders them to press straiglltway
TO show his tiumps will win the play
Then "Every E." retorts to say
Hes sadly pressed ior time to day,
But lac is sure that he can play
An even hand another day.
But surely friends whilst you are at
This unkind game of "rit for Tat"
You'll miss the latest batch of news,
Which might your patrons more anuse.
So take your chip from OFF your hat,
And thus prevent another spat,
You each have tried with all your nigh.
To show that each of you were right.
Now be content with what you've done
For "rit for Ta,,n scarce ends in fun,
And let your patrons once more see
That you eau i've in harmony. Il. g.

SONG OF THE RAILROAD.
Come hearken unto me, my bows
And song I'll try to Sing;
You recollect sometime ago,
The report around did ring,
"We're going 10 have railroad,
Right up the Red Clay Creek"
" hiIe some rej0iced TO hear this news
Others almost got sick.
Some said, ian engine up the creek,
Would surely never do,
'rWould scare our horses all away,
Our pigs, and chickens too"
They ran around and howlcd and growl-
Ant raised II fearful din, led,
Another thing they said, my boys,
"We could not raise the iin.'
But jackson John, our engineer,
Aud Head, our preside:It
When thcy took hold, th2y did not fail,
But right to work they went.
One, Andrew Crumli,h, they employed,
A'Id he employed the men,
And one greut tong John Bradley,
He placed over them.
There were Danes, Swedcs, and Irish
And iucn of darker hue, (loys,
A merry, jolly, lively crowd,
And dads they cut her through.
Nov yonIer floats the gallant cars,
Both up and down the line
/ tell you what It's sport, my boys,
TO hear the old engine.
We have the railroad now, my boys,
Its surely well to do,
And while we ride along the line,
We hope you'll do so to,
Now success to the gallant cars.
Likewise the old "engine,"
Success 10 noble patriots

There is no use of denying the fact
that there is great dissatisfaction among
the Republicans Of this county, growing
out of the peculiar manner in which some
of the nominations of candidates were
made, but We can see nothing to be gained
to the party just now, by adding fuel to
the flames; it only results to the advan-
tage of our political opposers. There
are great questions at stake, and upon these
questions we submit whether our princi-
pies will not be better represented by Re-
publicans than by Democrats, although
the manner in which nominations have
been made, may not be in accordance with
our views of even-handed justice. f-
One of our editorial brethren advances
the idea, that upon certain occasion Fay
cite county acted the pork" He undcubt-
edIy has reference to the report of the
Auditor of State, in which it is shown that
in 1872, Fayette county was the largest
PORK county in the State. The same off,
GERS report for 1873 again shows Fayette
to be the banner pork county in Ohio; be-
sides this, she has always had the distin-
guished notoriety of being LITTLE BRIs-
TIE" Now, brother Armstrong, hasn't
she legitimate right to ACT THE PORK?

last night. ''Naval Engagements" All three
of the plays were new here, and were ex-
ceedingly well rendered and well received
by large audiences of our best citizens
the patronage increasing every night. The
company is tirst-class in every respect-by
far the best that has ever visited Washing
ton, and not excelled by any travelling
company. Tonight will be presented the
brilliant comedy Captain of the Watch,

and Saturday nights something new and
attractive. We bespeak for the company
liberal patronage during their stay.
