Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1908-08-27


II suppose, ventured Taft,
With smile that was sweet,
"You have just made record
That I've got to beat:"-
Very neat.
"Why no." Bryan laughed,
i have records for two,
You may make one yourself
If you wish so to do
After you
But Taft waved his hand
With show of suspicion,
And said, 81 am not
A machine politician
Intermission.
In the old Roman calendar Septem-
Der was the seventh month of the year.
This brought Labor Day around in the
heat of the summer All the union
said it was too hot to march far enough
to make any impression on capital.
Like every other politician, Numa was
afraid of the labor vote, so he pushed
September along to the ninth place in
the calendar and had Labor Day fall
on the first day of Autumn. The un-
ions were thus enabled to march twice
as far, and Numa had to refuse third
term
The old school bell will toll the knell
of youthful summer joys, and the girls
will meekly get in line, together with
some boys; but the gamer youngsters
win hide out few days in dissent,
and later on the last one in will run
/ For President
~ The summer girl will get her coat
Iothd Merry Widow hat and journey
I 'Smeward from the sea uncertain
aere she's at; but the widow easily
ressed because she's stuck to toques,
ill bring mollycoddle home and
EEow it to the folks.
The tourists who have been abroad
Ton fashionable trips, will homeward
!, wend with hotel tags stuck all around
4 their grips; and thronging in theil
wake will come never ending flow OF
busted immigrants to see where they
got all the dough.
September is when the autumna
equinox the musquito out. This oc
ours on the 22nd, when the sun goe!
over the equator for touchdown OF
the ice cream gallery and summer un
.derwear. The coal man will kick goa
and Mr.. Roosevelt, leaving Sagamor,
Hill, will turn to Washington and tn,
serious business of loading some mor'
} shells for lions.
The cooler air will stimulate
The Presidential race,
And everybody will hit up
A little faster pace.
The smiling entry from the Platte
Will put up clouds of dust
And the roly roly man will run
Till he is like to bust.
And Teddy meanwhile will observ
the contest through his glass, and sticl
!, around the half mile post until tn
runners pass; and if he fears the Platt
!, will win the highest priced of boons
he Il laugh and whistle up few oil
reassuring tunes, and toss a big, ia
bumblebee in Taft's back pantaloons
And then there will be doings on thi
none too stable earth, and every De
,, mocrat will get his campaign dollar
worth; the Hisgens, Debs and all c
] that inconsequential fry, will duck in
4 to the weeds and watch the big event
/, go by; and the Taft men, looking o
a the while the fireworks pop and sizl
a will hold on tightly and enquire
= (Which cloud of dust is hisT'
The touch of Fall will make the ripe
And falling acorn thud,
And the crawfish will throw up his ta
And burrow in the mud;
- The dread mosquito will depart
1 From this terrestrial scene
9 But he'll die, as well becomes the braN
a With his face against the screen.
t And then the fall -enlivened colt wi

J will return the folks they found t.
q tough to kill; the fat and idle plut

It the candidate will mount the stun
and run OFF at the face.
After the %. September will be nj
