not care 10 fish with rod and lne in fact
never do, and that if the rod aud line fisher.
men secure the passage of such law, they
will, to man, prohibit lrespassng and as
their dce's cover the stream they will pre-

OUR PROPOSITION ACCEpTED.".-To our
intense qualification, the request, that the
ladies of our town assume editorial control
of THE CLARION for the St. Valentines Day
ISSUE February 18th, has been promptly
accepted and the organization ofthe editorial
and reportoriaI corps is already well under
way.
The ladies have really shown enthusiasm
in the matter; being so thoroughly well &C.
quaintcd with the talent that will engage in
the production of the Woman's Edition, we
do not hesitate to premise for it brilliancy
and literary merit that will render it worthy
of place among the carefully preserved
archives Of every family.
To the end that it be strictly a Womans
Edition we request our correspondents to
arrange to have the letter for that week pre-
pared by a lady of that locality, if possible
securing the privilege Of publishing the
name Of the writer.
AS All advertising medium, The CLARION
of February 18th will be most valuable, as
it is probable that as many as 800 to 700
extra copies will be sent out.
All four pages will be handed over and
