A quiet wedding took place in this city n Thursday, the contracting parties being Walter W. Sout h worth of Cast ilia Springs, popular and well known in Utah county, and Miss Ada Woiseiicroft, the charming daughter of Samuel Worsencroft one of the leading citizens of Payson. The marriage mar-riage took place at the residence of the bride's parents at high noon, Patriarch C. I). Evans of Sptingville performing the ceremony. The happy-couple happy-couple left for Castilla in the afternoon, after-noon, where they will make their home. The Globe extends congratulations congratu-lations and best wishes. Globe. The Independent has already-wished already-wished Walt happiness in every sense of the word. The Journal has reached the pinnacle pinna-cle of newspaper fame. It has a libel suit on its hands. Th nlaintifl is J. Z. Stewart, and his extremely modest demand is $10,000. We now give the stockholders notice that if the gentleman gentle-man obtains judgment no dividend will be declared for the month in which it isobtained, as it will take the greater part of the net receipts for that month to liquidate the claim. Logan Journal. "Net receipts," did you say ? Why, the Independent hasn't taken in as much as $10,000 gross this year that is. in cash We have a quantity of unavailable assets, however, in the way of "thanks," etc., some of which were left over from last year's "business." "busi-ness." Just think of it, you Utahnians apples raised in Ne York state, 2000 miles away, are on sale in Hrigham City. A good apple country like this should certainly be able to supply the local demand, but it is not. New York apples at 25 cents a doien, when Utah ought to raise better and supply sup-ply the local market at half that price. Our Utah apple growers should get a move on them, raise more apples and of a superior quality. liugler. And here in Springville Mr. Roy-lance Roy-lance was forced to import a carload of app'es to fill his orders, simply because be-cause our farmers have been too negligent negli-gent to attend to this branch of the fruit industry. A comparison of the fruit shows the home-raised apples to be much the better fruit. According to the Prigham I'.ugler an epidemic of diphtheria hasaftlicted that lovely burg. The Bugler seems to ascribe its prevalence to lack of care on the part of the quarantine officers. The last issue notes several instances of gross negligence that might properly prop-erly be called criminal. It says: "Eight families in the East Ward have the diphtheria. There are said to be nineteen cases in town. We are informed by a physician that two hours after one of the burials took place the father was out on the street. The day one of the deaths took place two other children of the family attended at-tended the First Ward district school, exposing half a hundred or more innocent inno-cent little children to the deadliest of diseases. Public funerals are held, where members of the afflicted household house-hold mingle with hundreds ot people. Five d Mlhs have occurred. Yet in the face of all thlscalelessness, affliction afflic-tion and death that anyone is so thick-skinned thick-skinned as to sit down and meekly claim that 'our quarantine officers are doing their duty' Is astonishing." Why Jiol liuve 'I hem Editor In'depkndext: Would it not be possible to have here in Springville a series of lectures designed to give a clear understanding understand-ing of the fundamental principles of the gospel as understood by the Latter Day Saints? The weekly meetings being in the main occupied in speaking on the practical affurs of the members of the church, there is but little opportunity afiorded x non-Monuon non-Monuon (not necessarily a nou-he-lierer) to get a lucid understanding: of the undei'bing principles of the dominant domi-nant church. These lectures could be delivered by persons in our midst, of whom there must be many who are competent to present the subject in an able manner. Private talks "don't fill the bill." Therefore, why not have a series of lectures, and they will he listened to respectfully, at least, by many, including Yours, with respect for all creeds, J. E. F. S. Mo'her of ilr!ry-'w ( hiWlreii.
