to say is that the citizens of this
fare city has got TO choose there

things which will attrack people, for
we cannot eat everything. Thin
which would attrack some peeplc
would drive others just as good and

less to try to keep all the travcln
men in this town This is my opin
ion. If a Teller wants bath and
nothin more, let us make some ar

him here; if. however, he goes fur

he is eoin back on the next tranc"
Well" says he. but when you see
Teller levin town with suite

likely to stay" lie kind of had me
