Old Friends And Old Plays.

Old plays like old friends are often
times the most welcome especially
after they have been tried and are
found true. Such can be said of the
beautiful play of Faust" to be pre-,
scented here by Mr.. Sanford Dodge at
Opera House with Clifton Saturday
March 18th. Faust contains all the
elements of great dramatic triumph
as regards play construction and also
conveys a great moral lesson. One
great critic recently stated that it
does more good than all the sermons
ever preached.
Don't miss it. Get seats now or
sale at a, c. drug store.

The Most Interesting Play In The World

There are probably more points of
interest to the average auditor in
witnessing the play of ''Faust" than
can be found in any other play upon
the stage. Every minute is replete
with dramatic situations, scenes and
effects and witty dialogue, which to-
gether with d wealth of scenic in
yesture, and beautiful and historical
correct costuming makes "Faust" the
most interesting and thrilling play
upon the stage today.

BY order of the town council the
Clifton water company has now in
stalled about thirty fire plugs, which
gives excellent fire protection to
property. TIE arrival of additional
hose and the completion of the fire
house in North Clifton will complete
all improvements in the fire lighting
line. There will probably be ten
more plugs added, making a total of
forty connections with the city line,
besides a number of plugs installed
by the Shannon and Arizona Copper
company lines.
