I'll note some rather curious facts.
Of you will kindly let
Farmer plain your patience tax,
! About our Marietta
Our town can boast OF various Powers
Just Reid this record over;
We've Kings and Chamoerlains in
Towers,
And Wright Strong Mayor Glover.
We are White and Black and Gray and
Brown,
Can Blackwell if we try it,
We've Hardeman who Dobbs it on,
And Dick will not deny it.
We've Bell which 'er was rung,
| Some Crisis which ne er were eaten;
Our Springer never yet has sprung,
| Our Drum was never beaten.
Though we've King, yet all are free,
And still one Mann is Freyer; (treer)
And though we can't quite all agree,
We always have Greer.
We've Banks of Clay and Miles of Cole;
A Mountain to get lost on,
And all the Kerrs (cars) through town
that roll,
Pass Holland, Yale and Boston.
Our town is Aston GALL stone) so to
speak,
Though Wood-all, Birch and Maple
Good Wood, yet one tremendous Leake
Lets out our tieecy staple.
We've Bakers, Buffers, BARRIERS, too,
And Tanner with his tan on
Beavers and Birds, Foxes few,
That we never Hunt with Cannon.
We've Leggs enough, but none to spare,
We have frst-class Walker;
And tongues have all our ladies fair,
And yet we've no Chautauqua. (She-talker)
! I've said that every one is free,
Man. woman, lad and lassie;
! We Neal not to the Powers that be,
Our Smiths are experts most complete
| Our Carpenters are willing;
We have Whit-lock on our street
! And cannot lose Schilhng.
An old man is our Neese and then
A woman is Wellman.
| A Stone, Swan, are both good men,
And then we have a Shellman.
/
A strictly prohibition town
| We boast-with one restriction;
| We've always one Barmore don't frown
AT this fiat contradiction
fear I'll get these names Askew,
If | attempt to rhyme it;
But just let Doctor Cor-tel you
About our wondrous climate.
The sick come here to breath our Aver,
1t Maxwell all who try it:
Health is a Boone to guard with care,
They Dyson die SOON who decry.it.
However dark our Knights may be,
In Chambers, Grove or Garrett;
We have two Moons whose light is free
Which gives US Cheek to Barrett.
Our Parks are Green and grassy too,
Whichever way the eye turn
| The sun shines warm the whole year
through
And sometimes makes our Ry e)burn.
And yet despite the skies so clear
With Mays sun almost torrid,
The Winters here, last all the year,
Now, don't you think that's Hahr-id
Some things we do seem Ruff, but Fair.
please Reid this without choaking)
We Cheney Campbell to Hebert, "a bear
And cure Handy smoking
'Twould Shockley-gality to state
How we Burnap our Bridges.
Stewart, Cook STRIPPING up for Bate,
And raise Youngblood in ridges.
Bishops and Parsons Coryell-ate (cor-
relate)
They are Birds of similar feather;
In House or Barnes they congregate,
Or Camp in Groves together.
Judge we're always bound to VIM,
In all the learned professions;
We punish crime and frown at sin.
Whene er the court holds Sessions.
Sampson still lives, we're glad to see,
Aud Just as Strong, or stronger;
Let him Malone I'll guarantee,
He'll Spillman's blood no longer
One curious fact do not forget
A fact that we'll worth KNOWN,
We have one man who's not in debt
And yet he's always Owen
Daniel in the Lyons den,
a Tennent quite contented
He just Seize down his Foote again,
While they Standback demented.
We Foster goodness, virtue crown;
We're Warren 'gainst the devil;
See Satan kingdom Tumlin down,
Its walls Wilson be level
A Goodman is our Buttolph great,
! Than Alexander greater,
| Preachers of Adams lost estate,
And Of the great Creator
We do not drink champagne on Hice
A Lemonade is better;
We Harris tbarass) no man with advice
! And Trammell none with fetter.
We have ship-a Blankenship,
Its masts the sails are spanning;
It's ready for its trial trip,
And all it needs is Manning.
