Something New and Good.

Col. Durr has again made step for
ward as a public benefactOr. 1t had
come to his ears recently, that some Of
the ladies of Tucson were complaining
about the beer sold iE this city being
bitter. Being on confidential terms with
his grandmother, a famous old lady who
has spent her life studying the likes
and dislikes OF her sex, he wrote her,
explaining what was the matter with the
ladies' of Tucson. The grandmother
knew at once the remedy, and straight
way sent carload of the celebrated
Extra Pale Erlanger Standard Beer.
This beer arrived yesterday, and has
been sampled by the best judges in this
city. and pronounced the best family
beer in the West. 1t is Just the thing
for the ladies, and no bitter taste is car
ried with it. The Colonel asks that every
family try few bottles of this beer, and
feels confident that they wlll have no
other afterwards. The grandmother has
never made a mistake about the wants
and needs of Tucson, and VIII answer
for the satisfaction given by this new
beer with her reputation, which is good.
The Colonel has been instructed to sell
this beer at So per Dbl. and 1920 per
doz so that all may share in the luxury
nd benefits afforded by Its use.
