Here's to The Post, the pride of the South,
Our herald art thou OF freedom and right,
| UNFOLDING all Justice With wisdom and
might;
sheltering bravely the brows that toll,
Teaching them progress, cen In the SOIL,
Opposing oppression, needing duty's call;
| No craycns enlist in thy ranks, but they all
Portray the true spirit OF thine editors

'ono touch of nature makes the whole
world kim
success continue thus richly to crown
Thy glorious march, stili upward and on.
