JUDGE ELY.

What tuneful strains salute mine ear.
Without the Court house walls.
On! let the news re-echo here,
throughout the massive halls.
You've been our Judge, our noble Judge.
For eleven years or more;
And not soul now holds grudge
Just one, and he is sore.
We know that you have been as fair.
As any Judge could be.
You've always acted on the square.
And shown your sympathy.
And all fair-minded men must say.
You've been so just and true,
That we will on election day
Be sure to vote for you.
Your acts and deeds are full of grace,
You are Pike County's flower.
You are the ablest in the race
With good sound mental power.
IL only such thing could be,
We certainly would endeavor,
AND, we for once would like to see
You. our Judge forever.
Because you're not the bowling kind.

One like you is hard to find;
You've got the brains to back it.
III tell now, III tell you then
You are the Judge most really,
And best of all, three thousand men

So nows the time and here's the place
To keep good Judge going,
SO help the Judge to win the race.
And make grander showing.
Vote for Ely, work for him,
He is the man to boost
Then we're sure that Nothing Slim"
VIII be the man for Judge.
