to the tune of Maryland, my Mary
land"
This song is as follows:

Shenandoah Valley mine,
Thy fields of grain, thy mountains
high,
Shenandoah Valley mine.
Thy orchards and thy laden vines,
Thy every flower that upward twines,
Shenandoah Valley mine.
| love thy brooks and mountain
streams,
Shenandoah Valley mine,
Thy hills and caves where beauty
CLEANS,
Shenandoah Valley mine,
Thy flocks and herds in sunny dells,
Thy sky-larks and thy charming
bellies,
"And every tale thy history tells,
Shenandoah Valley mine.
love thy cities far and wide,
Shenandoah Valley mine,
Thy homes where peace and love
abide,
Shenandoah Valley mine,
Thy schools and churches, art and
song,
"Thy love of right. thy hate of
vfrong,
And I nv people brave and strong,

TO THE EDITOR.

Editor, Spirit of Jefferson,
While the recent vote on the
100000 bond issue for the pur-
pose of sewering the town showed
that its proponents were in the ma
jority, vet they failed to muster the
three-fifths majority, thereby defeat
ing the proposition. Now there are
some who think that the action of
the opponents of the bonds showed a
lack of progressiveness and moreover,
that they did not. from a sanitary
standpoint, have the interests of the
town at heart, and that idea is what
we want to correct. You know that
had everyone favored the bond issue,
there would have been no need of an
election, and those who opposed it
did not do so believing that the
system would not have been a good
thing for the town, but rather from
the fact that they did not consider
now the proper time to add such an
additional liability to the already
outstanding bonded Indebtedness of
the town and thereby increase the
present tax rate.
We believe that should the propo-
sition be submitted later, after the
BlNoCitt IldS DCen DG10
off, it will meet with the approval of
the tax PAYERS.
So to those who favored the issue
and worked so ardently for its pas
sage, we would say that their efforts
have given decided impetus to a
project which, when realized. will be
for the good of all citizens alike but
in these days Of rigid economy, one
has to keen his hand on his pocket
book. And So
You can see, of course, if you're not
a Ounce
How it went to pieces all at once
All at once and nothing first,
Just as bubbles do when they burst.
No bonds, neither burdensome taxes
to pay
Facts is facts, that's all III say.
