chunk of the simple life. It's great.
The ozone is fresh and the water is
refreshing. Did you ever take the
water cure? Come out and see and
we will show you the "route'' and tell
you some funny stories on the side.

We are no base ball crank, but are Of

correctly managed will bode no one
any harm If played on Sunday or any
other old day. But we will lett go at
that. We are in favor Of helping make
Mexico look like New York City right

the onlythings lacking are three or four

walks, and less kickers, knockers and
backsliders. Let us be up and doing
and let the city scales and hitching
racks stay where they are.
