immense sale. This is sample of
the poetry.
They say this world Is round, boys,
know not if it's so,

poetry in this little remark Of the re-

forwarding some magnificent specil
mems of Los Angeles grown tobacco,

an assured fact that tobacco can be
grown here more luxuriantly than

cient Jewish faith, took place at the
