The spirit OF the great and ancient
people still pervades the old land and
it's influences inspire men to perpetu-
ate the name on this side OF the line.
The Toltec is q very good name in
lei Paso and sounds as though appro-
pirate to the uses Of many Of Its pa
irons who pass through it's portals as
they come and go. For the thirsty
wayfarer of this ancient lineage, the
only thing lacking, perhaps, is the leth-
al potations of these ancients and their
posterity of modern times, but the Toll
tee contains things just as good, IL not
better, and just as vivifying, or as So
porific and comforting, in the way Of
California wines, Kentucky whskeys
and many other refreshing beverages
from this and foreign lands. The Toll
tee bar is located at 207 Texas street
and IL Is a neat, handsomely appoint
ed and very pleasant place for a visit
Messrs. II. b. Taylor & Co. are the gem
ial and enterprislng proprietors and Mr..
Taylor does the courtesies of the house
as manager He keeps a fine stock Of
everything spirituous, together with
beer and cigars.
