"I'm thankful for the splen did way We've settled everything, So easily without our throw ing mud; We're just like happy kids at play Or love-birds on the wing, Or some contented cow a chewing cud.

It's nice to see how "Brad" and Mead, Have got along so well, And patched up minor troubles that arose. Such spirit's better, we're agreed, Than always raising hell, And stepping on each other's tender toes. I like the way the city dads, Keep such a watchful eye, To protect the people's rights at every turn; They're sure a group of clever lads, Who help to get us by, When the paddle-wheel of trouble starts to churn. There are many things I'm thankful for, And you are thankful, too, As we hearken to Thanks giving's yearly call ; For no matter how we al ways war, No matter what we do We've a pretty darn good town here, after all.
