Show I CENTER VHXE-Ray Brandon I made a very patriotic speech at the I character ball last Friday night. I Fred Walton and partner have I completed the foundation of their I new store. I March 31, 1899 I SYRACUSE-On Sunday even-I even-I ing. Bishop Cook's home was I visited; his home dedicated and a I most enjoyable meeting held. I Our farmers are loading their I surplus grain on the cars at 53 cents I per bushel. I March 31, 1899 I SOUTH WEBER-We are awful- I ly afflicted with mud. The writer I smelled green grass the other day I and heard a bull frog croak which I he regards as a sign of spring com- I ing. Some good thing might come I to South Weber but it is a question I about any good getting out just now I as mud is from one to 24 inches I deep on the level. I March 31, 1899 I FAR MINGTON --Horace I Vanfleet slopped attending the LDS I business college last Friday. I Wednesday, James Hays of I Bountiful, formerly of England, I was admitted to citizenship. I Mrs. Meta Harris, the lady who I shot herself, died in San Francisco I on Wednesday. I March 31, 1899 I The city of Salt Lake has con- I tracted with Studebaker Bros, for I 25 new sprinkling carts, to be I delivered within the next 30 days. I March 31, 1899 I The Utah and Pacific is nearing I Stateline, and the contractors now I believe they will have finished their I work before the 15th of May. I March 31, 1899 I No new cases of small-pox at I Fort Douglas have been reported, I and the quarantine is being rigidly I enforced. There is no fear that the I disease will spread. I March 31, 1899 I State Game Warden Sharp states I that there are thousands of quail of the Dixie species on Antelope Island now, where a small bevy was taken a few years ago. March 31, 1899 The newly created office of district attorney will not lack for applicants. There are already 15 or 20 applicants for the position in each district, with several yet to hear from. March 31, 1899 A relic of the old mule car days has appeared on the streets of Salt Lake City. The car has been fixed up as a movable restaurant.

March 31, 1899 FARMINGTON-An old house, half a block south of our Co-op store collapsed a few weeks ago but part of the roof has been kept in place by a few slender posts. If a number of children were playing in I I the building (not an unusual occur-1 I rence under such conditions) and I I some of them should have the life I I crushed out of them, through the I I consequent jarring of the frail ruins, I I many parents and relatives would I I be thrown into deep mourning, who I I will now hardly think to thank you I I for this kind hint to our city officers I I to prevent this catastrophe by at I I once removing the probable cause I I for the same. A number of water I I ditches across our sidewalks are I I unbridged, and several bridges have I I dangerous holes in them cannot I I these also be seen too? I I April 7, 1899 I I Flint & Harrod, it is understood, I I are going to start a saloon here.

I I They started from Garfield but out I I in the lake they encountered a mud I I hole so they had to unhitch the team I I and leave the wagon in the lake.

There I 1 was a distance of about 100 feet that I I the water was seven feet deep so I I they had to swim their horses.
