THE CLUB.
Chorns by the club:
Ta-ar-ra-ra Boom tara &c,
Girls your privileges TO an end have come,
Leap year has gone by in 4 run.
1t our time now to have some fun.
And you can bet well make things hum.
There's Old Crymcs, he's a daisy, no one
denies,
To get the Brooksyille girl he tries.
"at we fear she's given him Il kick.
AS he looks Us pale as an unburat brick,
Old Drake thinks he's awful sly,
But Wen be hanged if he don't try,
On Sweet Gum corner just close by,
For to get Miss-or die.
lIion's goods are out for show.
Wear them girls, and you'iI catch beau,
for they're nobby, don't chu know,
TO hear him tell it they're all the 90.
The girls say Johnny FAINT is awful bright,
But he has 20 stay in at night
From the biting frost 20 save,
That mustach DER which they rave.
Wiley stewart wears L look bereft,
For in The election he got left;
Now what's old Wiley going. to do,
Since he got left in futures too.
Another in the election got left,
Bat he don't wear Il look bcrc:,
For his wits Tor his back is as sharp as any
razor,
And his name is Ollie Fascr.
Old Sam FAINT, the jolly Old soul,
Says he's ahiVred the flowing bowl,
Now he takes it "strait' from the jig.
And he's just as happy as a bug in the rug.
Old Drake wears n look that's bold,
Walks like policeman on patrol,
just because he has been told.
He looks as il he'd lots Of gold.
lrion, the sly old coon,
lie read Romeo one noon,
He's going to read Juliet now pretty soon,
AMI said did sleep 20 years, old Daniel
Boone.
Tires old Walter May,
Went to Brooksyille one cloudy day,
And SAID: Do You love me darling, say,
And Miss, my own true love, answered
nay.
Old Ell Patty loves a dear little lamb,
And her names Miss-'ham,
But on old Patty its quite q slam,
For him she does not care a--bit.
His salary is ten dollars.
And he wears paper collars,
HIS creditors be lodges,
And his name is Willie Hodges.
And there's old farmer Dent,
Many years he's been on marriage bent,
But to him the girls little encouragement
lent
To the matrimonial dead letter office he's
sent.
And there's our cotton King Boyd,
He declares his life is void,
And the girls say they are oyeriOyed
That he's otherwise employed.
And there's the young bsnistcr, our presi-
dent,
To HIM may many n case be sent.
For out of his profession he's meier made
u cent,
But for consolation oft to ''the bar" he
went.
Mr.. Ed Patty was then called for
and he responded in Il very "happy
manner
The banquet was pronounced a
grand success by every one present.
