The people from here. most all, went

Some of the young bloods, who are
noted for being rOwdies, took a little
to much "red-eye" before starting to
Piedmont. and upon arriving there were
taken in charge by the executive au-
thority of that town and placed where
their noise would not be disturbance
for the more peaceable people. 1t is
strange how some young men will do;
after once getting into the lookup for
their bad conduct, it seems not to have
much effect on them, for upon getting
out they will often commit the same
deed again, and are taken in custody a
second time to their disgrace and the
shameful feeling of their friends.

with more favor by our critic:
Oh "Gulliver Loquacity,"
Forgive us our proracity
With thy deep sagacity,
Thou seest our pervicacity;
While we feel some pugnacity
We know that the mendacity
Exceeds thy varacity
Unto thy full capacity.
Thou art loaded with rapacity
Oh give us perspicacity
And unyielding pertinacity
For friends give us tonacity,
For enemies audacity,
But save us from Loquacityi
Oh thou of great pompacity,
Forgive us our verbocity,
And then with great velocity
Think of thy precocity.
