We're rafting off the dry goods
Right along, right along,
But we're buying as we sell
Right along, right along,
And the bargains we are buying
Are extremely gratifying
And keep the ladies smiling,
But set the neighbors crying and growing
Right along, right along.
Their chagrin is past Disgusting,
And their walls are agonizing;
They VOW it is surprising
To see such sacrificing,

The Brandon Lime company do not

saved.

another kiln the past season. The last
week was, we learn, the first trial made

money in the business. We hope it will
continue profitable, as it gives employ
