Show OR CORRESPONDENTS. OVEliTOX. Kti ward H. Syphus and y.'iie mourn the loss of their newly-born infant. Everything in this little burg is very quiet. A dozen or more of our townspeople towns-people have g-one to lake in Stake Conference Con-ference and the Washington County Fair. Weather very fine, coo! nig'hts and warm days. People are plowing; to put in fall crops. Some are cutting- the fourth crop of hay, it was mostly cut and up two weeks ago; the last crop is light. Threshing- has not commenced yet, as our threshers are in Arizona freighting. Frank Bonelli of Rioville has sued the Muddy Valley people for 400 inches of water and $2,000 damages. He is sueing for water that he has not used for fifteen or twenty years, Perhaps he once had the right," but it has been abandoned so long that he cannot get it now. We think there is no law that will give it to him after so long a time. All will have less money and more experience ex-perience after the suit is over. We feel that an outrage has been perpetrated on the people, of the Muddy valley in the matter of our mail service. Somebody has changed the time for leaving- St. George. It used to leave on Mondays and Fridays in the morning, morn-ing, arriving at St. Thomas next morning, morn-ing, and connecting with the mail that comes up the Valley on Tuesdays and Saturdays, But now it comes in at noon of these days, causing- our mail to lay over at St. Thomas from Tuesday noon till Saturday morning, and from Saturday noon till Tuesday morning, so that we are badly out in our news. We will petition the U. S. Mail Service Dept. to give us another change, which we hope will be for the better. |
