There must have beer, some mix- up in the distribution that probably by now has been taken care of. We have quite a number of them here and gathered more from several sources, but the demand has cleared us out of them, unless more are received. Should be a good crowd for the event, t t t f t PAPER CARRIERS -- To get away from politics for a moment and back to more tangible subjects several of The Statesman carrier boys and girls have been taking a beating from some of their customers who make them call back several times for their money.
