AYCOCK's FAIRGROUNDS.

Hark, the bell is now ringing,
And the children run to play;
Listen! the Aycock girls are singing
AS they go on their way.
Small boys play their marble game,
Innies. ventures, no dubs, and so.
Then each boy shoots the same,
And out all the marbles go.
The older boys play at baseball,
jolly and happy players are they,
Playing both in the spring and fall,
Hurrah! for that dandy good play.
The high. school girls play soft ball.
They enjoy the game very well,
They like playing big or small
And then he rings the bell.
They all we'll used their time:
Then they go on to class,
It cheers your heart and mine
Just to see them all pass.
