They came to return their children to the school after their vacation, and were so impressed with the method and results of school work that they brought an additional daughter to enter the course.

A little judicious advertising by the business men of Ashley valley val-ley would induce a great many of these home seekers to locate here as this valley is as good as any part of the reservations. The Express has done considerable in that line, but it needs a little substantial help to do it as it really should be done. A telegram received this morning from Mrs. E. B. Wells, of Salt Lake City, announces that the team sent to the City for the visitors who were to be in attendance at our Conference next Sunday, was delayed de-layed by the recent storms so that they will not be able to reach her by that time. The conference will therefore be postponed one week and will convene on Sunday Sept. 23, at two o'clock P. M. The Societies of the Stake will please make their arrangements accordingly- Sarah Pope, Stake Pres. of Relief Socieu'es. Little David Hadlock wants the readers of the Express to know that he is a newsboy and is selling the Chicago World, and Ledger, also the Saturday Blade. Patronize the boy and encourage him in his new business. Last Sunday evening some malicious mali-cious person stole a Navajo blanket off a horse and cut the straps off a ladies saddle, while the owners were attending the Mutual at the Stake House. Such deviltry is loo common in this valley and it is about time to draw the line.
