Mr.. Editor, we wish for you happy
new year. We hope your black list will
be small, as you undoubtedly publish the
best weekly in the State, or, we should
have said County, as we write for some
other good papers outside ofyour County.
It is now against the law to curse,
And not to pay your editor still worse.
He tolls all day and half of the night,
And scarcely ever gets bite.
So watch for the black list Wednesday
morning.
And ye delinquents then take warning,
It's q shame for man to read a paper all
the year,
And never give the poor editor his
share;
For he can't live on old presses, types and
towels,
He yearns for some vituals and things
in his bowels.
AS the editor gets all the cussing,
He ought to have the money in fines
disbursing.
So now, delinquents, fare ye we'll,
Our contempt for you we cannot tell.
