1t is understood that the Charles Town
Concert Band will entertain the audience un-
til the curtain goes up and during the entire
acts, also Mayor Light promises to wash the
floor and the chairs. and dust the ceiling.
Things will be clean and in apple pie order
Hold your breath, too. friends while we
whisper that he also promises that the dear
old-timey stove, the warm-heated stove, the
ochre-colored stovey that heats up the room,
shall be diked out in full dress-real black
clothes, and a red shirt when the door opens,
the veryilatest in stove-attire. He'd wax
the floor too, but the bees don't yet know
how to make wax good enough to have any
effect whatever on this particular floor
ahem Peanut hulls and waste paper are
going to be completely wiped out, and he
guarantees that the chalk used to mark the
reserved seats will not rub off; so, three
| cheers for Mayor Light, three reserved
cheers" if he can occupy them, and let us
all join in the chorus
The Light shall now fill with glorious thrill
The precincts of Washington Hall,
And from window and sill, he'll remove
with a will
The cobwebs that hang like a pail.
So. hurrah for the Light that banishes quite
The gloom from dear Washington Ha |,
He'll dissipate night, and sweep dust out of
sight
That collected before Adams fall.
And now, to the air of '' Marching through
Georgia" sing one and all:
Hurrah Hurrah Hurrah for Mayor Light
Hurrah. Hurrah He sweep dust out of
sight,
And so we'll jolly the Mayor along
With a dust-pan, broom, and ha-ha song
As we go marching through Charles Town
Yes, the Mayors lamps will be trimmed
and burning, the hall swept and garnished,
and-O! shade of Charles Washington, at
tend even the gallery shall be fit for god
desses and Gods. A new leaf is turned in
the history of the hall, let us hope it can
stand it. These sudden changes sometimes
cause collapse, but it looks as if it can stand
anything.
