fourths of a mile long with a fall
ranging from seventeen to twenty-

On the seventh of November,
'Twas a bright and glorious day:
The voters congregated,
Wby?    Because it was Election day.
How   the    church   bells   they   did
chime tbat day,
And prayers were sent on high;
To remind tne   voters   to  do   their
best,
To make old Michigan dry.
And Oh, what a great rejoicing,
When the message to us came,
That the drys had surely carried
And Michigan would be clean.
Yes, thia world is better
And men becoming wise;
For the drys have gained a victory,
And the "Home Rule" it has died.
Let ue thank our Heavenly   Father
For the W. C. T. V:
With    their     prayers   and   valient
efforts,
They are bound to save our yonths.
And therefore may God bless them,
And wish them luck along their way:
May they ever gain in victory's,
As they did Election day.
