Fed Them Roast Pig

S.F. Rainer, the genial proprietor of the Southern Hotel bar, regaled 
his patrons and friends with an excellent roast pig lunch on Sylvester 
eve (the night before New Year) and a large crowd was present to 
enjoy the same.  The ante-room was profusely decorated in honor of 
Sid’s and Joe Pluth’s birthdays, and the boys sure had one jolly good 
time bidding the old year adieu and welcoming the new.  Roast pigs may 
come and roast pigs may go but this was a “dinger” and will live long in 
the memories of the happy bunch that celebrated New Year’s Eve at 
Sid’s place.
