JUDGE ELY. What tuneful strains salute mine ear; Without the Court house walls, Oh! let the news re-echo here, Throughout the massive halls. You've been our Judge, our noble Judge, For eleven years or more; And not a soul now holds a grudge Just one, and he is sore. We know that you have been as fair, As anv Judtre could hp.

You've always acted t)n the square, And shown your sympathy. And all fair-minded men must say, You've been so just and true, That we will on election day Be sure to vote for you. Your acts and deeds are full of grace, You are Pike County's flower. You are the ablest in the race With good sound mental power. If only such a thing could be, We certainly would endeavor, And, we for once would like to see You, our Judge forever. Because vou're not the howling kind, That makes a great, loud racket, One like you is hard to find; You've got the brains to back it. I'll tell now, I'll tell you then You are tne Judge most really, And best of all, three thousand men Will cast their votes for Ely. So now's the time and here's the place To keep a good Judge going, So help the Judge to win the race, And make a grander showing. Vote for Ely, work for him, He is the man to boost Then we're sure that "Nothing Slim" Will ba the man for Judge.
