The Hyde House, name of the Hotel,

Kept by Flowers, is doing well,

He sets a table, clean and neat,

Near the depot on Railroad Street.

Ennes and Vincent far apart,

Yet join in hand agreed in heart,

Are ready to respond to calls,

To build or raze your walls.

For lumber all to Humphrey go,

In doing business he's not slow,

His stock comprises every grade,

From softest pine to walnut shade.

Another Humphrey, perfect trump,

When fitting you with his new pump,

Which, by the way, as buyers tell,

Is just the thing to work in wells.

Harry Eggleston, of goodly fame,

Tho scorched by fires devouring flame,

Could not be beaten in that way.

He has a host of goods today.

Mordoff Brothers in stables pride,

(Let's get a rig and take a ride,)

Their rigs are good, their horses kind,

And good-night kisses never mind.
