FORT CANDY NOTES.
Fort CANDY, wash, June q, 1895.

Fort Candy, Wash, June q. 1895.
To the Editor.
In the issue of the 9th was overlooked
the most essential of all the events TO
take place at Fort Candy on the 4th Of
July, namely the football game between
the Astoria High School team and that
of Ilwaco. The contest this time will be
for blood, as there was some such CORY
matter plainly visible in the eyes of the
High Schoolians" after their stubbornly
contested defeat short time ago. 1t is
also rumored that some new and strong
football talent has recently been added
to their team, and it is an even bet, or
rather odds on them, against the Ilwa-
coans on this occasion. The prize for
this event will be a silver medal to each
man of the winning team.
Although 1t Is almost impossible to OBJ
tain any definite information on the sub
ject, 1t is understood that Captain Stew
art, of the Life Saving Crew, will be the
Judge, with two associates, of the boat
races on the 4th. The committees are
very close about 1t, and inquiry leads
only to disappointment so far, regarding
the judges. All the judges names will
be published as soon as the committees
see fit to let the cat out of the bag.
Another old adage has again been dis
proved, namely music soothes the saw
age breast" There Is a rupture In the
ranks Of the Hwaco tunefuls, to the ex-
tent that they have split up entirely and
formed two bands instead of one. The
result is that they are looking daggers
at each other and "savagery'' Is the order
of the day. The bent of one faction Is
South Bend, and the forte Of the other
is Fort Canby--ticl1le my ribs, please.
oThe foundation is now being laid for
gymnasium at Fort Candy, and the work
will be pushed on as rapidly as possible
until completed.
Another event which was omitted in the
issue of tine 9th instant was the Pound
boat Race, the prize for which event will
be $1,000. Now pound away, lads and get
there.
The grand stand will be built right un-
der the Stars and Stripes, In front Of the
flag staff, and all the notabllltles Will be
invited to take a seat there. 1t is feared
that there will be a few "back seats
In the number but in this case there
is honor even in back seat.
There will be JOY for the thirsty souls
which may visit the Fort on the 4th. 1t
Is understood that the Canteen will be
established conveniently near to the
grounds as to suit even the most thirsty.

The Banner of Light is, as every one
knows, one Of the most successful denon-
national publications issued In this coun-
try.
In its Tth volume 1t is at once conser-
vative and bright, discussing not only
modern Spirltuallsm, but frequently lend
ing its influence fearlessly in matters
of public Importance outside it's principal
field.
Mr.. John w. Day. who Is the editor
and ole of the proprletors, writes In The
Banner Of Light as follows to the pro-
prietor's of Paine's celery compound:
1T owe you debt of gratitude in plac-
ing on the market ssuch a nerve-easing
and soothing remedy as Paine's celery
compound. 1t was brought to my notice
by a friend who had himself been greatly
relieved by its use. as have also been.
1T have frequently taken occasion to
commend Paine's celery compound to
others, and I do not know an instance
wherein, " faithfully tried, it has not
worked benefit

Farm.
The slow and steady horse at the culti-
vator Is to be preferred to the one that
is quick and nervous. When cultivating
between rows 1t will pay to take time
and do the work well, so as not to allow
single weed to escape.
Wood ashes make the best fertilizer for
crimson clover. Although this clover
thrives on land that has been used until
but little fertility remains, yet II needs
plant food and gives the best results
when manure or ashes (or both) are ap-
piled.
Two specaities upon the farm fit well

cattle can be used In no better way than
by applying 1t to u good vegetable gar
den to supplement the feeding OF the
cows.
The best time to cut any grass for hay
Is just when the seed is about to form.
Cutting should never be deferred until
seeds are dry, as the plant Is In the best
