The debate IN the Virginia senate

eution, swept away the last vsstise OF
excuse for delay by the general as

The claim that the amendment

And the spacfous plea that the peo-

set aside by the unqusationed assertion
that the general assembly is already

sire-and was rendered ridiculous hy

Thing are so very high,
Segars, shoe strings II you want one,
You must have cssh TO buy
= man must have a .ot OF cash.
II he wishes for such stun;
And vet he must not be too rash,
This advice Is good enough.
A handkerchief will hold the things,
Your basket hold the mon;
But Just look out for price II brings,
or else you'll sure have fun.
My neighbor gets four plunks a day,
But says he must have more;
II not he says he cannot pay,
His bin az grocery store. ->
The grocery man don't want to trust,
A man who cannot pay,
To get his goods he surely must,
Be square with him each day.
The one who tries 10 get his things,
No matter what the price,
That any OF such brings,
Is not acting very nice.
This advice is surely good,
That I have written here:
Yet every home must have its food,
Although IL may be dear.
I know some men don't have enough
OF money TO take home;
And many Of them find IL rough
May better days soon come.
