where I have been, Since last I had

you bet. They want to know bow
many bands, Am* working out on my
farm lands. A vote they wanj to gel.
They n-k al?out my better half. And
punch my rib* and joke and laugh,
About the baby. They Mailt to know
bow old I am, And if I still like
country ham. 1-or they think may
be, I'll go out and work iike wild,
Because they've bragged upon my
child, Are! seemed such a good friend.
But I am on to those old l>oys, I've
often heard the same old noise,
They're working to the end, Thut
once again they Is* selected, And
when at last they are elected, They'll
walk the streets in glee, And when
we meet they'll merely nod, They'll
treat me as a common clod. They'll

To Establish Community Calendar

of the exclusiveness of meeting
times of the various bodies and
organizations and to eliminate as
much as possible the conflicting meetings.
It will probably be located on
the corner of Broad ana DeKalb
streets near the Loan ami Savings
Bank building. The events to eome
will be published each week from this
calendar in the Camden Chronicle.
