sleep without rocking last night.
The stage was almost deserted yesterday.
With the exception of the officers and re-
porters, few of the delegates we're On the
stage during the proceedings. They were
working in the body OF the house.

of the brewery and the operations OF manu-
featuring beer. This plant is said to be the
finest and most extensive in the South and
though the first beer brewed here will not

shown by the orders already received.

Gainesville branch of the Waples-Platter

plenty OF older business men would be
proud to hold.

country Its the tenderest, sweetest beef
- At this point someone called him away
to get a cigar, and the merits of Concho
beef over that of other localities was not
made known.
