The Little Country Paper.
It's no sixteen page edition that expresses big
3 men's views , ,
I And it1 * , not tilled up with pictures , nor with
II telegraphic news ;
If I It isn't printed daily , with an "extra" every
hour.
f , And the editor's not bragging of his influence
and power.
* It May have faults and errors , but all these I
v will forgive ,
For it's printed in the country , 'way back
where I used to live.
I : It is only issued weekly , and it's not made up
for style ,
But when it arrives I gladly put the daily by a
while.
I don't read in its pages what the wise and
1 great men say ,
1M But. I sue that "Silas Jiggers brought some
M wood to town to-da.\ ; " xi
And that "Grandma Parks is better , " or that
i " " 0)
"Old BillJonesisdead ,
in And it tells just what the parson in his Sunday
sermon said.
n
iI I see again the faces of the friends I used to
know CD n
I In the dim and distant fancies of the happy
Long Airo ;
k And I read up in one corner that the fall winds
H howl and blow ,
And that "Uncle Nathan Smith predicts an
early fall of snow ; "
Or that "our debating club will give a sociable
next week ,
At which our fellow townsman , Abner Brother-
ton will speak. "
There are never learned essays on the questions
of the day ,
H But it says that "folks are looking for another
rise in hay ; "
I can see no glaring headlines of the last elec
i
tion fight ,
M But itsa.sthat. . . "Tom Shaw marries Ella Ed-
gerton to-night ; "
$ And my thoughts somehow grow fonder when
B the old folks' names 1 see ,
Telling that "Reverend Tompkins was invited
there to tea. "
It may be prude and homely that same little
country sheet.
And the make-up of its pages may be lather
obsolete :
It is damp when I unfold it , and the print is
sometimes blurred ;
Yet it's always more than welcome and I read
its every word.
And no reading to a city man a greater joy can
O 'A
Than the little country weekly , printed * where
he used to live. "
