ing. Jakey seemed to be on the lookout
for the lost art as he tethered his steed at
the "Grove" back of town and jumping
from his sleigh proceeded to feel the lay
of the land. After remaining some time,
Jakey seated himself in his rig and
started at a sure-to-win gate, at the same
time muttering under his breath that it
was the most "Pierson" cold weather he
ever saw, and the only game he could
play was the solitary game of freeze-out.
Poor lad.
In thinking that your readers
Perhaps would like to know,
About our recent election,
| We now will try to show.
| One thing we wish to state,
Perhaps you will know,
That this township is Republican,
About score or so.
1 will now begin to relate.
For the Office of Judge of Eelection,
| We had two fine old candidates,
Who are of the proper qualification.
J. b. Carpenter, the lucky man,
Got the enormous vote of 72,
While Wesley Whitehill has done all he
| can,
For he got seventy, too.
Now this reads strang as you'll see,
Dock was so firm he would not bulge,
And he had two of majority,
So now we call him Judge.
|
A place so easily won;
We have r. w. Burdick, who stands for
protection,
And G. s. Copeland for 16 to l.
Now Township Treasurer next we see,
With Chas. Bauer at seventy eight,
And B. j. Day at siXty-three.
Now Bauer always ran at a furious rate
1 know that some will not agree q
| nd think nna rather rank
For giving Chas. such majority,
Because he deposits in the Forest Co.
Bank.
We wish to say and have them under
stand,
We cannot see just how
We have so many neighbors true and
grand,
who offer their assistance now.
We've run our township all this time
And never asked for help or fame,
And now to think we're out of rhyme,
Methinks it is shame.
We thank those pilgrims true and wise,
Who told us of our sad lot,
! And think hereafter we will rise,
And slug them with their own shot.
Then comes Commissioner of Highway ;
o. p. Lemon had seventy-four;
| Next A. II. Downing, by the way,
Had sixty and six more.
Auditor, j. G. Richards, don't you see,
Had seventy and seven;
For his opponent, Berlin, r. D.,
Lacked some of reaching seventh heaven.
For School Directors there were four,
| Who were all good men, l know,
VIM. Richards heads the list; he couldn't
ask for more.
And c. Zuendel he wasn't so slow.
1. C. Delo eight and forty had;
Now CAL, he ran quite light.
II. A. Zuendel, grand old lad,
Was also out of sight.
Overseer of the Poor, (mark one),
So the ballot says;
John Watson is the lucky one,
For about three hundred days.
J. A. Zuendel, spelled with G.,
Was on the ticket and in the wreck
He ran as hard as could be,
Until he got it in the neck.
For Tax Collector, our present one,
With the usual vote or more
j. NJ. Zuendel, whose count was 81,
And G.. s. Copeland with "a.
Township Clerk, now let me see;
A good big vote was cast,
G. W. Osgood had forty-four,
A record that will forever last.
r. j. Flynn had ninety-two,
Now there's no use in talkin',
