Well, We're most all glad,
But yet few are sad;
But we think they'r very bad in their
position
70 vote against prohibition.
For months and years
Women have been shedding tears;
But the happy time is coming,
And it's no use to keep stunning.
They have been taking alcohol
And then a little lye, and Oh,
They made a stuff to make the women
cry!
But On, how glad she is going dry!
And as we bid the stuff goodbye,
| wonder is anybody going to cry?
For it's been the ruin Of all our nation
In country, town and station.
She once was wet,
But now she's dry;
And Oh, how glad no one can tell,
AS we bid the stuff farewell!
Well, the union has come and
gone and we hope everybody
enjoyed it-and l don't see how
they could help it, for l never
heard better speaking anywhere.
. There were large crowds here
each day. We believe the unions
E are a great help to our churches.
The next one goes to Maxton,
and the next to Antioch.
