L. Scott of the Rural Press, published at Provo, must be a wonderfully bright and fearless man, as the following verbatim reprint from the rural magazine of last week elearly shows : There are a few people just beginning to find out what a howling success was made when they elected our present county treasurer. Those who are responsible for her present position ought to be made to stand the circumstances of her bungling administration. The woman is all right, but those who elected her are not all right. The other Democratic officials seem to be giving general satisfaction all round.

The lady is well known here. Trouble is brewing, it seems. She has been in office only three months. We predict future unpleasantness. The Murray Eagle gives an account of the visit of a Salt Lake man to that burg the other day to ascertain if his daughter and a young man with whom she has been living almost a year had been married by the justice of the peace there. Nothing was ascertained by the old gentleman, whose doubts have been very slow in arousing him to action. It is to be hoped that the couple are conducting themselves properly. The following is all right, but people wonder which of us wrote it: The political writer of the Salt Lake Herald insists that we are in the race for the United States Marshalship.

The following from the Deseret News is good enough to be brought to light : The Sultan may be pardoned for asking whether Professor Angell, who has been chosen for United States minister to Turkey, is one of the destroying Is every deed or other instrument in perfect form? Are all the signatures and acknowledgments exactly what they should be? Has there been no deed or other necessary paper in the chain of title lost before it was recorded ? Has there been no mortgage given by, or judgment rendered against any of the many prior owners of the land? Have all prior liens been carefully removed? These are simply a few of the suggestions that might be made. We take pleasure in answering questions. Call and see E. W. Genter, Abstracter of Titles, 150 Main Street, (Jones Bank), about your title. Ordinary information will not cost you a cent, and the cost of the abstract is lower now than it ever will be again, Society. ?

But from outside sources it is learned that the entire meal will be cooked and served by the men, and that they will cater especially to the taste of women guests. The dishes will all have a masculine flavor, and it is probable that gentlemens fingers will be served with the ice cream. t ii The musical Club will be entertained by Miss Ellerbeck.
