the front and back of merchants
of this section with whom you
can trade in confidence, people

recommend to you.

proper we expect to fill it with
much useful information, cooking
receipts, measurements, etc.- It
will be a book that you will be
proud to keep and enjoy having.

In Chatham
All germs our Chatham air consumes.
Its purity inspires and thrills,
Save when polluted by the fumes
That emanate from blockade stills.
Our scenery, for miles and miles,
Is one long vision of delight. -But
this is marred by furnace piles,
. That burn their, fiendish fires at night.
Has Chatham men and means enough
To apprehend the men who sell
The makers, venders of the stuff
That starts the very fires of hell?
Aye, certainly; a faithful band '
Of which they all may stand in awe.
Will take them, one by one, in hand
And teach them due respect for law.
