The Bone Of Contention;
How strange -and delusive are the thieve;
That do the minds of men employ,
Like butterflies with painted wings
That affords them so much joy.
Especially when jealousies do arise
To see other men in the race.
Competing with them for the prize
They will try to shorten their pace.
We will not suffer thiething to be
For we were first in the. race,
Move the market can't poi" see
Far away to some other place,
We are bound to take a stand,
We will see what we can do,
Now let us join as one man
And shove the thing right through.
The first thing we will have to do
Is to send a petition around,
And this will bring the eettua.,100,
Then to act they will be bound.
How they laughed when it came an
One hundred and fifty names or more;
Didn't we lay a clever scheme,
Of victoi7 we ate almost sure.
As quickly as they knew hew
With petition to the council flye
We have our enemies vanquished' men
Anti soon they will have to die.
Nineteenstwentiethis belong to we
Of the inteeests of the town,
