It says the roads are passable though slightly out of shape,
An obituary notice names survivors wearing crepe;
It has a bristling column full of legislative news,
And when you have the cold or croup it tells you what to use;
Its special news to farmers is both choice and up-to-date
And it recommends the tablets that will keep your liver straight;
It is warmly Democratic and agin the robber class,
And although it hates the railroads it will sometimes use a pass;
The editor’s a pungent cuss and calls a spade a spade,
And he takes subscriptions right along in any kind of trade;
