Gov't Report ''No Likeuai Too Muoh Orandall." Speingville, Jan. 5, 1S56. Editor Independent: Dear Sir In looking over yesterday's yester-day's issue of The Independent 1 read all you had to say about statehood and many other matters of interest; then I turned the paper over to scan other pages, and behold the first thing that meets my eye is another reunion re-union occupying one column and a half, which I undertook to wade through but found it didn't interest me a little bit. Now, Friend Dave, I do not find fault with you alone, for I notice it is getting quite coaimon with other papers as well a3 your own, to hash up these family reunions, to the exclusion ex-clusion of matters of more importance no one being iuterested in them, hut those who participate in them. Now If you will pardon me for the liberty 1 take. I would suggest that you give us those reunions, if we must have them, in suiallcr'doses, for the average reader cannot help feeling that he is being cheated when be has to pay for matter that does not concern con-cern or interest him in any way. You may say mentally, who it running this'paper? In reply I will say a very talented gentleman, but the best informed do sometimes make inistakes. Asking you again to par-,., par-,., ae for t' " liberty I take; I am Xurrvery trul; . -B3CKIBE, I. r The above undoubtedly contaijs fmany pertinent suggestiaus.but "Subscriber "Sub-scriber should remember that out o'. i-i great number of graouMnlla and jSimlar "eutertaltfment8 tne-Otfttt&U re-utiion was the only one to which I The Independent received a compli- mentary invitation, and of course the editor felt so good that he hadn't the heart to "blue pencil" the copy. Ed. In the Beginning Of a new year, when the winter season of close confinement is only half gone, many find that their health begins to break down, that the least exposure threatens sickness. It is then as well as at any other times, and with people even in good health, that the following follow-ing facts should be remembered, namely: that Hood's Sarsaparilla leads everything in the way of medicines; medi-cines; that it accomplishes the greatest great-est cures in the world; has the largest sale in the world, and requires the largest building in the world devoted exclusively to the preparation of the proprietary medicine. Does not this conclusively prove, if you are sick, that Flood's Sarsaparilla is the medicine medi-cine for vou t i take? JOTTINGS. Deal Bros. & Meudenall have a new-ad, new-ad, today.

The eveut will be celebrated by a dance at the Opera house. Spanish Fork held an Impromptu celebration, Saturday, on the occadon of President Cleveland's signing the statehood proclamation. Mr. Oliver Christiansen and Miss Annie Gull were united in marringe, Monday, Bishop Nelson of the Fourth ward officiating. A wedding dance was given in the Opera house in the evening, and a nice large time was enjoyed by those favored with invitations. invita-tions. Springville '-bloods" were numerously numer-ously in evidence at Spanish Fork, Monday night. Their behavior, however, how-ever, was hardly up to the Springville standard owing, pel haps, to a much too intimate association with the tiery Spanish Fork "booze". Several little differences of opinion were noted and "war scares" indulged in by representatives rep-resentatives of both towns. Joe Jenson's saloon had a narrow escape from destruction Monday. A card table caught tire from acigarette while the room was temporarily vacated, va-cated, and a few moments more would have sufficed to have put the whole building in a blaze. A large fire would be decidedly out of place in Spanish Fork, as the acequias are all frozen or dry at this season. While tiring salutes, Monday, C. W. Booth had a narrow escape from going skyward in fragments along with the smoke of the discharges. An improvised impro-vised caunou, wnich. had been doubly-charged, doubly-charged, burst, a large section of cast iron missing Mr. Booth by but a few. inches. The flying fragment eacouni ered a large tree , 1 n its flig h t, aiuLltj reference to the tree trunk Mr. Booth easily realized what "might have been". All of the business houses of this city saloons excepted were closed in honor of statehood day. The bands played, cannons baomed, flags floated and the air was filled indications of patriotism generally. A skirmish drill on Main street by the militia under Capt. Thomas commenced the afternoon's celebration. The citizens then assembled at the meeting house and listened to patriotic addresses by Messrs. Snell, Creer, -Ileus. Hicks, Moore and Argyle. The feminine citizens cit-izens were ably represented on the program by papers on patriotic subjects sub-jects by Misses Amelia Ilees and Liiy Morgan. A ball in the City hall was Indulged in by the elderly and more dignified portion, while the young people occupied Creer's hall and the Opera house.
