"_I am Sir Oracle, and when I ope my lips let no dog bark! _"
Old Dan'l Hanks he says this town / Is jest the best on earth; / He says there ain't one, up nor down, / That's got one half her worth; / He says there ain't no other state / That's good as ourn, nor near; / And all the folks that's good and great / Is settled right 'round here.
