Meridian, Tex.
On last Saturday Rev. and
Mrs. L. A. Dunlap, by invita-
tation, attended a fish fry party
on the Bosque river about two
miles west of Clifton. They re-
port a grand time. About 130
people from the city of Clifton
and vicinity gathered there for
the ostensible purpose of having
a fish fry. Armed and equipped
with two good seines, ten or fif-
teen frying pans and plenty of
ladies and gentlemen to manage
the affair, the work began. The
seinmen launched their seines in
the river, and in a very short
time drew to shore an immense
quantity of the finny tribe. Then
the scalers and carvers began op-
erations and in a short time
bucket after bucket of clean fish
meat was transported to the fry-
ers, who at once put their pans
in order and began to convert it
into food for the hungering mul-
titude, and they did an excellent
job. Your reporter never saw
ffsh cooked any better,and when
placed on the table the very sight
thereof was enough to increase
the appetite of a sick man, to say
nothing of those who were not
sick.
While gazing upon the scene
our mind was called back to that
historic record found in the new
testament when Christ and his
disciples instituted the first fish
fry party on the banks of the sea
of Tiberias, 1900 years ago, and
had they been present, 1 am
sure they would have enjoyed
the occasion, and rejoiced to
know that the order they estab-
lished so long ago was being per-
petuated according to its ancient
usage.
At 1 o’clock the invitation was
given in due and ancient form:
‘‘Come and dine,’5 and when
we surrounded the table, which
was made by spreading wagon
covers on the ground and then
covered with clean white table
linen, we beheld with delight the
table was laden from end to end
and from side to side with piles
of cooked fish, and then inter-
spersed with various other arti-
cles of food prepared according
to the latest methods of the cui-

he was at one o’clock made a
full member by receiving the
third and last degree, and now
he swears allegiance to the prin-
ciples of the order, which are
thus explained:
The principle of thefirst degree
is to catch the fish, the second
degree to scale and clean the
fish, and the third and most im-
portant degree to eat the fish af-
ter they are cooked. The degrees
the ladies take differ from the
gentlemen in this: their first de-
gree is to clean the fish, the sec-
ond to cook the fish, and the
third to eat the fish after they
are cooked These degrees are
so constructed as to bring about
the final and most important ob-
ject of the order, viz: eating the
fish after they are cooked.
After the repast was over the
members of the order enjoyed
themselves in various ways—
some of the older ones, in dis-
cussing religious and financial
topics, the middle-aged in talk-
ing about love and how to be-
come useful citizens when they
settled in life; the children by
climbing the steep banks and
then sliding down again, some
head foremost and some feet
foremost, and occasionally hav-
ing a collision with each other,
but nobody hurt.
Mr. Gibbs got the young la-
dies interested in a shooting
match. He placed for a target
a silver dollar on the side of a
large rock, and after quite a
number of shots being fired with
a rifle, Misses Minnie and Kate
McSpadden were declared the
marksladies of the day, they be-
ing the only ones who had hit
dollar.
After the pleasures and festiv-
ities of the day had ended at the
river, a number of young gen-
tlemen and ladies assembled at
the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
Calvin McSpadden and enjoyed
themselves in a croquet party
until nightfall, when they sur-
rendered the ball and the mallet
and dispered to their respective
homes. Thus ended the day not
only of eating, but of friendly
greeting of neighbors, social
intercourse, and kindly feelings
one to another, which character-
ized the members of this ancient
and important order during the
entire day.

ing let us know and we will come

all filled, and the ladies then

kets of what was left over, so

aged and the young; all were
members save one, who had

initiated. This was our esteemed
friend Jeff Gibbs, who said he
he had lived in this part of the
country for about 26 years but
had never become a member of
the order, so we had thepleasure
of conferring upon him the first
degree, and at 11 o’clock he was

proficiency on the two degrees

There is no discount on the

doubtful if there is another man
of equal prominence who would
in a single address denounce
Booker Washington’s effort to

A French company has been

not work over here, too many
men would prefer the insurance
money to victory.
You will remember that Napo-
leon the Great declared that his-
tory was only a series of lies
agreed upon. Wonder what Ad-
miral Schley thinks of it?

been both violent and wide-
spread this summer, and a cure
or sure preventive is yet to be
discovered.____________
The Census discovered only
one donkey in Washington. Ev-
idently Congress could not have
been in session at the time.
Schley, of course, is debarred
from claiming an alibi by the
fact that Sampson has already
proved that for himself.

"NERVE WASTE"
One of the most helpful books on nerve weak-
ness ever issued is that entitled “Nerve Waste,”
by Dr. Sawyer of San Francisco, now in its
fifth thousand. This work of an experienced
and reputable physician is in agreeable con-
trast to the vast sum of false teaching which
prevails on this interesting subject. It abounds
in carefully considered and practical advice,
and has the two great merits of wisdom and
sincerity.
It is indorsed by both the religious and secu-
lar press. The Chicago Advance says: “A
persual of the book and the application of its
principles will put health, hope and heart into
thousands of lives that are now suffering through
nervous impairment.”
The book is $1.00 by mail, postpaid.
One of the most interesting chapters—chapter
xx. on Nervines and Nerve Tonics—has been
printed separately as a sample chapter, and
will be sent to any address for stamp by the
publishers. The PACIFIC PUB. Co., Box 2658,
San Francisco.
