where the solar orb will be totally OBJ
scured; but even in our northern alti-

degree to make the chickens go to roost
and give people that shivery feeling that

are being slaughtered by men of this town

the home. The brewers intend to de
liver their goods to the family trade
while the anti-beer drinkers are asleep.
