News Hems From Puerto.
CorrespondiitiCe.
Preaching next (fourth) Sunday
by Rev. Tnimmell.
A good rain or a warm snow
would he welcomed by the farmers.
There is quite a little sickness
in the neighborhood, but no seri
ous nature.
Our industerous blacksmith,
Mr. Stradley is out on a poll-tax-collecting
expedition this week.
The tax assessor has been can
vassing this community for the
last few days inquiring as to the
valuation of our dugouts.
It seems that poetic genius is
not entirely lost to the human
family, judging from tho classical
poetry that has recently appeared
in the News. First a Homer re
siding in the magnificent city of
Grady, causes the world to stop
and listen with wonder and amaze
ment as he sings of the deeds of
valor of the heroes of the plains.
His music was wafted on the
breezes to the beautiful San Jon
valley where another poet, a
Hesiod, catches the inspiration
and melts the world to tears with
a poem of pleasant life and chang
ing seasons. But lest this poetry
writing be monopolized the budget
from Puerto will bring you a little
ditty:
Down by Puerto, where the gen
tle breezes blow,
And the bear grass fairly flickers
in the sun,
Where the moonlight in its glory
makes a scene of magic glow
And the coyote, yelping, makes
his nightly run,
Where the gobblers are strut
ting And the chickens cackling gay,
Where the cattle are all grazing
And the donkeys always bray,
Where the honest sturdy farmer
With his happy, cheerful wife,
Always hopetul, always merry,
Live a sweet, contented life,
Where the blue and brown-eyed
maidens,
With their locks of brown and
gold,
Make the timid, bashful laddies
Think they are vory bold;
Where he sits right down beside
her
Tells his storv, sweet and true,
Proudly then he walks off with
her, the marriage alter to
You can sing of Gradys heroes,
And of San Ion's beans and
stew,
. But Pll sing of Puerto's maidens
And the laddies that can woo.
