No New Lights on Fourth Street.
What! No ornamental lights on
Fourth street,
One of the principal streets of the
town,
Where the strangers who arrive at
the depot,
To the city come walking down?
When the rest of the town is lighted,
With a brightness like unto day,
The people must grab" a lantern
On Fourth street to find their way.
A city's best advertisement,
Is an up-to-date, wide-awake class,
And strangers are quick to take not
ice
As thru a fair city they pass.
They don't like to see people in busi
ness
Grab every dollar in sight,
But when it comes to public improve
ment
Like a clam shell to shut up tight.
All Willmar needs is good boosting
And 'twill be the best town on the
map,
But you can't .expect strangers to
come here
When the home people don't care a
snap.
Then here's to the people on Fourth
street
Surely they don't want it said,
They're walking round to save fu
neral expenses
When the whole world thinks they
are dead.
