Will Celebrate FOrty-SeVenth Anniversary
of the Order.

Clifton Lodge No. II, Knights of
Pythias, which lodge has been quite
active during the past several months,
has announced its intention to cele-
brate the forty-seventh anniversary
of the founding of the order on the
18th of February. The celebration
will take place at the lodge rooms on
Friday evening, being the regular
meeting night of the local lodge.
The date of the anniversary is Febru-
airy 10th, but the entertainment will
occur one day ahead.
The celebration will consist of an
interesting program, rendered by
members of the K. of P. order, mem
bers of the Pythian Sisters, and their
families. Upon the completion of
the program light refreshments will
be served. On account of the limited
seating capacity of the lodge room
invitations to outside friends will be
limited. The matter is now in the
hands of the entertainment commit
tee and every effort is being made to
make the celebration the best that
has ever been given under the
auspices of the lodge. The program
will be rendered along the line of,
surprise in every particular, consist
ing of performances contrary to what
the audience will expect. In fact it
is going to be so interesting that
those who have the opportunity should
not fail to respond with their pres

John Pollock and Miss Bertha Slegil,
a popular and we'll known couple of
Clifton, were united In the holy bonds
of matrimony. The wedding cere-
mony, at which several of their most

with the church workers of Clifton
for several years. The bride has
resided in Clifton number of months

with the Shannon hospital as head
nurse. During her residence here she

The visit of such high-class enter
tanners as The Lion and The Mouse
company and Miss Yaw in Clifton
this season has marked a new era in
this midst. These entertainments
received good support and if the
Clifton people continue to turn out it
will be the means of the larger and
better companies visiting US in the
future. Heretofore the attendance
has been so small that the manage
ment of Clifton theaters hesitated
in taking the chance of losing money.
Such companies will not fill dates
anywhere without big guarantees.

The concert given by Miss Yaw was
not as we'll attended as it should have

At last our basketball team sue
ceeded in winning game from Cliff
ton. 1t was without doubt the fast
est and most exciting game ever
played on the local floor. Time and
again the score was tie, and it was
only in the last three minutes that
the boys succeeded in getting the
points that finally won. Outside of a
little mix up between Ramey and
Parsons the game was good to watch.
Such affairs as they INDUCED in do
not do any good to the game, and it
seems as if both men are old enough
that they would try to hold any per-
sonal feeling back until they get off
the floor, at least.
