WHEN MARTINsWLLE GETS RELIGION

When Martinsville gets religion,
And the gospel has free course
And the sinners flee
From the iniqrity
That harbors keen remorse,
The fruit of Sundays labors
Should bring to the smooth old
town
A state of grace
That should slow the pace
That has brought 1t some renouu.
The poker chip should vanish
And dead the game should be
Where the skillful bluff
Rakes In the stuff
From the "gent" who couldn't see.
The lemon extract bottles j.
Should also disappear, -
And few should choose
To drink drug store booze
Or guzz'e bottle beer.
And all the alleys and vacant lots
A silence should enfold
Where hilarious boys
.-.. Welcomed with noise
A "pony" as 1t rolled,
The politicians free from guile
Should all their sins relate
And the court house ring
Be a busted thing
With smashed and battered slate.
Then come ye plous Wetzel folk
And to Him whograoe bestoTs
Pray that In pity
He may save the city
For 1t needs 1t Heaven knows.
