The following lines were written
on Jobby Fosters birthday, June goth
1888, by his grandpa George McIntyre,
of Worth, who is 03 years old:
We thought wo heard little birdie
say
That Jobbv Foster is nine years old
to-day,
So we at home were dying just to
IL what the birdie said was really so.
And SO to verify the brides twitter,
We thought we'd travel to the town
of Speaker,
And with our eyes behold this hopeful
boy,
His father's little pet, his mothers
joy;
BuS then the rain rained onward with
out stopping,
Which almost paralyzed our earnest
hoping,
And then the roads were more than
ankle deep,
The thoughts of which disturbed us in
our sleep,
Yet, after all, our courage seemed to
rise,
In spite of muddy roads, and weeping
skies.
So we resolved to share tho general
JOY,
And celebrate the birthday Of this boy.
Please God we old folks then will sure
ly come,
10 meat the Fosters In their pleasant
home,
And may our gathering bo without
alloy,
While we observe the birthday of
their boy.
But John and George although they're
both away,
Shall be remembered on that happy
dav,
