A Stranue Awakeninu.

Senator Bailey, of Texas, in describ-
Ing terrific fight that lie had once
seen on the streets of New York, said
that the hubbub and confusion remind
ed him of an episode that happened
on a train.
"On certain train" he said, "a
very large, muscular man fell asleep,
and annoyed all the passengers by
snoring Tremendously. A drummer,
carrying half a lemon in his hand,
tiptoed over to a little boy who sat
behind the snorer.
Son, said the drummer, I am a
doctor, and if that man doesn't stop
snoring he'll die of apopleXy. Watch
your chance, and as soon as his
mouth opens little wider, lean over
and squeeze this lemon into it.
"The boy obeyed."

This issue of the CLARION will be
something of an innovation SO far as
the character and size of the edition
goes. 1t will go into at least 15OC
homes, and it will be read by many
who are strangers to our usual lists,
and it is with the hope and eXpccta-
ton that the paper will be enough
thought of to merit some reward fol
our trouble in preparing it. Gun
aims have always been to uplift and
upbuild, and we propose to strive
each year to help our people and our
community 50 that our interests
may be mutually served.
We have installed a new power
press with which we will be able to
facilitate our work more than with
the old hand press, and at the same
time give better service.
Try us, and if we are found want
ing, then criticise us, and perchancc
then we will be able to do better, but
until then be charitable and overlook
our faults and shortcomings, as a
newspaper is always compelled to
overlook the faults of individuals.

anything about it in the paper. For the
benefit of those interested will say that
| have finally gotten on to the inside Of

in we olden times, to-wit, in part chicken
pot-pie, sweet potatoes, cold slaw, pump
kin and apple pie, etc. Mr. Martins corn
acreage being small he could not make
his bid general, he therefore, confined the
invitations to a strong half-dozen of his
lifelong friends and associates, all of
whom were between 65 and 70 years of
age. Those who responded and cheerful
ly participated in the revival We're, Will

deprived of being present, one of them,
Mr.. Landers, has since departed from this
life, an occurrence we deeply lament.
Others present by invitation to assist on
the premises, and in the preparation and
consumption of the supper were Mr.. and
Mrs. M. w. Leatherman, Mrs. H. Key
Croft and Mrs. M. M. Grouse.
While this was one of the really inter-
esting and enjoyable events of the early
autumn, report of it failed to reach the
home paper earlier, this owing, may be,
to the hindsightedness of the Local Cor
