SUN-SFNTINFL EDITOR
DisCOurses on Fishing and Drink
ing.
OTHER CLARK COUNTY ITEMS

We present to our readers sew
eral extracts from the sun -Senti-
mel, Editor r. Il. Perry, of Win
chester.
A fisherman is natural prod
uct. He can improve by practice,
but the natural instinct must be in
him to begin with. When the
bright days of Spring come. the
tisl Imam will go fishing. He just
has to go. He has been getting
ready. The first day his tackle is
in better shape than it will be dur
ing the season. He is temper
ate man. II e may take a
drink. | think most of them do.
but he don't get drunk, and he
will not associate with a crowd
that docs get drunk. If he should
by accident get with such party
he will leave them, and 90 off by
himself and fish. There never
was a more mistaken idea than
that fishing and drinking 90 to-
gether. The man that drinks TO
excess does not want to fish. The
fisherman knows that if he were
80 drink to excess it would inter
fere with his fishing. Fishermen
should not be held responsible for
that class of men who pretend to
go fishing when their real purpose
is to have spree.
Many women are superior to
men as anglers. Fishing has done
much to make men and women
better. 1t takes industry to find
the right place, patience to wait
for bite, and faith to believe
that you will get a bite. Fishing
tends to direct the mind to Divine
things. Who can think of fishing
without thinking of Christ and the
Apostles who were fishermen, and
Jesus himself must have been, for
when he came down in the early
morning and asked the Disciples
what they had caught and they
replied that they had ''toiled all
night and caught nothing" He
looked around and said: Cast
the net on the other side" They
did SO and caught more than the
net would hold. He certainly
knew where the good places were.

les all over :he U. S., are furnishing
unlimited water to residences for 80

high enough to pay for the water and
