in the State could have gotten up so
many games for the Champion Cue of
Nevada rs Orndorff, and nov that he
is gone, we fear that the strife for the
possession Of that same Champion Cue
will be lost forever, for Jim threw his
whole soul into 4 game of billiards,

soul of good fellow. But he has got
an idea into his head that his six bill
lard tables, constantly running, were
too few for him, and so he has gone to
San Francisco and purchased the bill

with eighteen billiard tables, where, Of
course, all Virginians and Gold Killers
will 60 to see him when they visit San
Francisco, for Jim is q trump, any
