Of all the things beneoth the skies
An ugly wall do despise;
''Hygienic' is of all the best,
AS it has stood for years the test.
The buck of colors tells the tale,
OF which none are so-called STALE.
The newest thing in tan or rose
Which appear in such repose;
With mission finish, proper green
Andceiling of nile or cream, such scene.
There are others to harmonic as we'll,
Look them up and you can tell.
Besides the finish, so velvety and soft
Brings it out so far aioft;
Shows no mark of brush or lap
As others do, an ugly gap.
So to get of all the boss,
Don't forget to go to CROSS.
Up to date. Tax Collector Lerma
reports only 126 poll taxes paid for

ana county tax payers. AS there
remain only eleven more days in
which to pay poll taxes, before the
end of the month. unless there is a
great rush of voters to the tax COL
lector's Office in that time, the vot-
ing will be very light in Browns
vile at the city election next April.
