A New Yeas Address
BY The Bard CT The Bull-Thistle
THE GREETING

like chaff before he driving blast,
and, since this New Ye ar's day is
free, we'll bid farewell to seventy
three. And may the coming year
be one marked we'll with deeds of
justice done; may all tn : merchants
be upright-increase their trade with
profits light, and, rs name them,
one by one, and tell the good things
they have done, | trus my state
ments will be found in strict accord
with those around.
We MERCHANTS
To Burhyte's store we'll first re-
pair, and note the goods they're
selling there; and here within this
store you'll find choice groceries of
every kind; of crockery, glass and
China-ware, and dry goods, too,
they have share; they'll clothe you
we'll from head to foot, both large
and small men they will suit. And
next at D. D. Days you'll find hats,
caps and boots of every kind, as
we'll as dry goods fair to see, with
sugars, raisins and good tea. Then
up the steps to Mapes' we go, for
he sells goods extremely low; fair
supply he's sure to keep-for cash
in hand he sells you cheap. At
William Sanderson'S you'll see
pile of goods for you and me;
they're we'll arranged, his store is
nice, with him you'll find no bant-
ering price APP Roberts, next
across the street, with cheerful
countenance will greet the smallest
lad, the tallest man, and he will
suit you if he can. With Saunders
John and Amos Green, a pile of
groceries may be Iseens and honest
John is always taer9, kind and
obliging, frank and fair. Rasmussen
now we will not miss, now think of
that, now think of this; and Jensen,
too, near Prairie Mill, is always
quick to fill your bill.
We DRUGGISTS
At Davis drug Store-paints and
pills, syrups and wines to cure your
ills; "Rosh" Freeman, too, tonic
makes, to swallow which will cure
your aches.
YE HARDWARE MEN
George Bracket runs a hard
ware store, with Perly John to help
him more; and S. D. Dodge, the
pioneer is sometimes looking rather
queer; they all have BRASS and Jap
an-ware, and each will fill your bill
with care.
YE JEWELLERS
The honest Swede called Peter
son, will make your clocks and
watches run; and Reed will fix your
watches we'll; he II Ike them tick"
and good time tell, but tick
wont tell on silver ware-for gold
or silver" cash, with care"
We DOCTORS
Five doctors doth this town pos
sess, two HON 'opaths, and nothing
less, three allopaths, with Davis
king, while Bourn now leads the 9TH
er ring; though justice, Wilcox may
dispense, with books and paper, all
for pence, while Ballard comes in
for a share, and Andrews docks the
wheat for tare.
We BOOKSELLERS
The Levings girls in Journal
Block, where many people daily
flock, dispense good books for
ready pay, and greet you all on New
Years day; a finer store cannot be
found, go search this valley round
and round.
YE PAINTER
There's Levings, too, who paints
with care, the gayest sign, the
smallest chair; a dining room or
parlor grain-he'll paint cutter or
a pane.
We BOOT AND SHOE MAKERS
And Wadsworth makes your boots
and shoes, or sells you such-just
as you choose; while Peterson an
Boyer, too, will gladly mend or
make shoe, shoe or boot, just as
you please, and warrant it to fit with
ease.
We BUTCHER
With steaks and roasts for
table use, it's with George Pratt
you'll treat a truce" nor with a
butcher e'er contend, lest life should
reach a sudden end.
We HOTELISTS
Our hotels three, all have share,
and Bracket treats his guests with
care; if you with true friend would
