: Citizens and Friends,
: It has been suggested that our fair colony is in need of a national anthem. The Mohicanland Library and Histerical Committee has thus decided to sponsor a contest for the best song. We encourage all citizens to think about what Mohicanland means to them and to submit their anthems.
: When all submissions have been received, the citizens will cast their votes for their favorite song. In case of a tie, the top contestants will run a gauntlet, kindly organized for us by S.Girty and his Shawnee brothers. Whomever is left standing will be declared the winner.
: First Prize will be an all-expense paid week's vacation at Fort William Henry, with an opportunity to participate in a realistic re-enactment of the Fort William Henry Massacre, staged by Frontier Frolics, Inc. of Gnadenhutten, PA.
: First runner-up will receive free rehabilitation in Dr. Mary's Program for the Artistically Challenged.
: So send in those manuscripts, folks. All entries must be post-marked no later than midnight, August 4, 1757. We assume no responsibility for manuscripts which get burned, blown up, waterlogged or eaten by the Gnome.

Dear Miss Gaylee,
We haven't much time for things like song writing, but since The Calm Bee Nation is such a happy little community in Mohicanland, we thought it would bee good to get into the contest early.
My Country 'tizzzzzzzzz of thee,
Sweet land of honey bees,
Of thee we buzzzzzzzzz.
Land where we congregate,
Dancing our Figure Eight,
Too buzzzy to procrastinate -
Happy he who duzzzzzzzz!
Respectfully submitted,
The Worker Bees
