the bargains.
Vice President H. A. Brainerd, who,
according TO association custom will be

the night and the day before. A big bunch
OF morning copies of The Bee can be

object of much interest. Arthur Ladd OF

way and II he can hitch II to a wagon

both himself and Mrs. Ladd the hwole
distance at a very nominal expense.
