DESCRIPTION OF BOONE COUNTY.
Active morning night and noon,
Two days are spent IN examination,
The hearts that bound IN expectation,
Anxious to themselves succeed.
Convincing the agent or their need;
But each must wait and take ais turn
Till head did ache and heart did burn
All anXl0us 10 report their restitution,
And answers make without confusion:
The truth was hard for ali 70 utter,
The tongue once still, the heart would flutter;
The agent had piercing loo.
And seemed to read them like book
But older heads, and hearts as tough
Seemed to stand it well enough
OF happy days no one could tell
Since on their crops the hoppers fell.
The object was to furnish seed
To farmers here who stood in need,
And every one. to make it PLAN.
Must give list of all hls gram
Indebtedness aud interest too,
Asses. horses, herds that loo
OF acres broke on the face OF Nature,
For ncle Sam is undertaken
None are missed, not single squaSter,
OF those that lost by the pesky hopper.
And none that need are left to mutter;
Supplied with meat, or bread, or butter.
! And none that's here need seem to lack
/ There's plenty clothing for the back.
The occasion was the greatest rally
Ever seen on Beaver Valley
