Firemans Ball.

Last night the Auditorium was
the scene of one of the pleasant
est times spent the past winter,
among the many pleasant affairs
that have taken place in that
we'll known place of amusement.
The concert preceding the
dance was new feature in Fire
mans halls in Garrett, and pro-
we'd very acceptable addition,
for Graves orchestra surely did
credit to its name as a musical
organization. The music was
also furnished by the orchestra
for the dance, aid about forty
couples joined in the facinating
wales. The Ball was a success
financially, the receipts netting
the "Fire Ladies" over $4,000.
The Auditorium also contained
a large number of people who
did not go to dance, but enjoy
the sight OF others participating.

An Up-Date Preacher.

Readers of the Clarion have probably
noticed the advertisement of the Bap-
fist church on this page. Believing that
it will paw to advertise the Lords bust
ness as well as any other, Pastor Eaton
has contracted tor this space perma-
nently, and will use it to make special
announcements concerning his church
and pastoratc.
1t is new thing in Cherryvale for a
minister to buy advertising space and
pay full rates tor it, hut it is the custom
in many places, and has proven sue
cess.
The Clarion hopes the venture will
prove profitable to Rev. Eaten and his
Observation-Disclosures Clarion.
The above iterp will be of double in.
tercst to the people of Garrett from the
fact that Rev. Eaton married Garrett
girl-Miss Vansickle-and he has num-
erous friends here.
BY the way, Garnett's ministers might
profit by following Rev. Eaton's exam

LIGHT

The night has thousand eyes,
The day but one.

The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one.
Yet the light of whole life dies
When the day is gone.

Fly Fishing.

There is no doubt that certain flies
are best adapted to different seasons,
times Of day and conditions Of wealth
er, but dozen flies Of different names
will fully answer all Of these require
ments. An anglers flies resemble moth
ing when cast upon the water. They
are simply something which attracts
the trout. Color has more aliurement
than form, and as there are not so.
many colors there is no use for many
flies. The general rule is for light flies
on dark days and dark or darkish flies
on light days. Sizes are more to be
considered than form and mixture in
makeup. A large trout wants some
thing worth his making an effort to Sc
cure. It is doubtless true that an ar
bitrary cast Of flies cannot be made
up which viii be adapted to all waters.

Catarrh.

People who are subject to catarrhal
ailments have special need to be partic-

They should see to it that their feet
are comfortably clad, their shoes
should have substantial soles and
should come well up the ankles and
not be laced or buttoned tight. Light

sufficient for warmth, but whenever by
reason of much exercise the feet have
