He's old, and on the shelf laid.
Over in 'Possum Wallow, so I'm told,

Here and there is a broom straw old,
And the pigs too leai to stand.
Jim Rogers was there on a bleak, cold
day
With his big book and inkstand,
too,
He yelled five hours: 'Your taxes do
pay!"
Tnirteen, was all he could do.
He closed his book and wiped his
eye,
And sighed for Deputy Hood
'He'd done his best, now let Lat try
in candor, J. wisn lie would.

A favorite expression of Sheriff
Nowell, when he means business.
Thirteen cents was all that could
be collected during the entire day.
