goes and COCA through mud and water
in sunshine and shadow, preaching
economy to the people, and pointing
to Adler's groceries,

In the morning by tho bright light,
When Gabriel blows his trumpet
In the morning.
We were shown brick made by
Mr.. w. ii. Smiths new brick machine.
With this new invention you can
make brick without trouble. There is
nothing to do but dig the dirt and
throw it into the machine and it
comes out a pressed brick, smooth as
glass. We wish Mr.. Smith success
with his new invention. Smiths II
clever man. Smiths brick.
