POSSUM FOR SHERMAN
Georgia Delegation Resolves to Entertain the Vice President Elect. Washington. Feb. 12. Regretful that Vice President Elect Sherman missed the pleasure enjoyed by President Elect Taft upon the occasion of the recent "possum and taters" dinner at Atlanta, the Georgia delegation in congress has determined to give Sherman a dinner after the inauguration.
