Editor CouRiER:Just a few lines if you can make room in your valuable paper. I was just a thinking this beautiful morning, how much' we have to be thankful for. We can be to know that we are thankful American citizens, to know that the war is ended, and to know that our noble boys who were willing to sacrifice everything, even their lives for their countrys cause, in establishing liberty and freedom to all mankind, are coming home again to us, at least most of them. Today they are represented in nearly every corner of the earth, d anywhere between the peaks of the Alps in Switzerland and Italy, on the south, to the land sun and far away of the Mid-nigTo know that on the north. .Siberia, these brave boys are coming back with greater honors than any men that ever left their , homes in our fair land, and to know that they have placed the stars and stripes at the head of the whple world, and made the Stars on the bonner shine brighter than ever before, gives one an inward joy and satisfaction that can not be expressed. We can also be thankful for the recent election, in which one party got the state of Utah, and the So we can all other the' nation coughing and sneezing like it had the'flnWe all got out and and pushed the car off the bridge. The driver said: Dont worVy, Ill soon fix it, while ! stood by and struck all the matches I nad to illuminate the interrior of the engine; then the drivers fingers got cold and he had to give it up as. a bad job, and said we would have to leave it. It wasnt long before there came another care along; it picked up the. women and went on, and myself and the driver were soon left way behind. We started for home, however, and one good- - thing about it was that we didnt have to walk all the way where we could see the road we ran. We finally anded home a little disfigured but still in the ring. snow-cappe- ht rejoice together. can also be thankful to our city officers and the council of defense for the steps taken to quar antine our; ilttle city against the epidemic that' has been slightly among us. We certainly can see the results of their labors; they have worked hard and we should appreciate them. In going up town today I was very sorry to learn that there were at least two new cases; its to be hoped it wont spread any farther 1 was a little diappointed to learn that the quarantine was going to be kept up for some time yet; it was for the reason that I was promisee a car ride as soon as it was off. V r I well remember the last car ride I had. I was standing in front of illiams Economy store one even ing when a car pullfd with severa passengers in it, when I was askec If I didnt want to take a ride over to Logan; three or four of us are going, theres a big show on well go and take it in, I certainly will, said I, and I was as ticklec as the little boy that went to the store with a egg to buy a stick of candy. There were five of us with the driver. 'We finally made the trip and hurried up to the show house. I stepped up to the window to get the tickets, but was told that they were all gone. One of ' the .bunch suggested that we walk around town until the second one came on, which was at 10 oclock So we rubbered along the street looking through the show windows at the cheap sales. We took turns in carring the baby, as one of the women had a baby with her. Fin ally I told them we' had better go home and come some other night it is a little cold and I am sleepy I went in and bought the ladies each an ice cream cone, and then We started for home. We got along very nicely until we came to the bride that crosses the railroac track. There the car refused to go right on Ihe bridge.

Last Sunday when it was thought that Hyrum City was about ready to lift the quarantine, it was found out that 3 or 4 new cases had developed, and the city, health board in connection with the city officers found it necessary to put on the lid of quarantine tighter, and at once formed an ordinance to that effect. The ordinance is similar to those passed in other cities, and compels all to wear masks on the street and in all public places. Notices were at once gotten out advising the people to comply with the ordinance which took affect Thursday morning, and so far as we have been able to learn, the order has been complied with strictly. It is reported that there are about 10 cases in the city, none of which have so far been serious, and all are getting along quite well. The board of health, however, asks that the citizens take every precaution and live up strictly to the quarantine regulations, as by doing so the disease may be gotten under control in a short time and the quarantine can be lifted that much sooner.
