A TALE FROM A MOUNTAIN GRANGE
129
"I say there, Bill! Tim Jones 'n me Will give fifty cents in change To whom will write this story up And read it in the Grange!'Five poetic pencils glibly glide— Low bends each thoughtful head—Presented for inspections, thus Brad Damon's poem read:—
Lucius Record Sat up late,—Broke the ground— Honor great.
Road to fame— Show's us how.—Pile of dirt— Big's a cow.
Danville Jack— Gloomy feels—Awfully fat— Nigger heels.
