Mrs. Henry entertained the Band

boys rendered few selections after

Mr.. ]. E. Roberts Sr. handed US
a copy of a boom edition of the Ell

week. 1t contains extensive write
ups of the new road to Ell Paso that

We had the pleasure of being one
of the Invited guests atMrs. Henry's

himself. We guarantee that no one
will ever be turned away hungry
from Mrs. Henry's.
