HON. JOHN R. WEBBER, MAYOR OF AUBURN.
It speaks a lot for fellowship: it's better far than fame. When your fellow townsmen greet you by the handle of your name; And it's not wholly unimportant, nor too small to dwell upon, That the Mayor's partner's "Johnnie," while the Mayor's always "John." For he's won his spurs by working, in a quiet, modest way; By building up a business on the plan that's built to stay. And he's done the same in social life, in politics, of course; In masonry, he's filled the chairs with dignity and force; And wherever you may travel, the imprint you will find Of the Merrill-Webber print-shop -- "the same old honest kind." So I hold it far from trivial, that things that spell "success" Are the fruits of perseverance and unremitting friendliness.
