Show Juab County Times ' i JACOB COLEMAN, Editor & Prop'r. R. J. HENRIOD, Manager. By E. C. Cox All hail. ye, aged veterans, assembled here to day, Whosevforrns are bent with ripened years, whose locks are sere Regular price $2.00 per year, In advance 1 1,50 per year, Whose days tof strength and years of prime have been expended , Published weekly, every Friday at Nephi, Utah. Now All Together. "The crowning act,; the king-lie- st act of freedom.ia a freeman's ' vote." The election is oyer. The citizens of oar city have had their say at the polls. Party affilia! tions haye been disregarded and apparently the voters voted for the men of their choice rather than for any particular party. Now let us all. whether we be deep-dye- d Democrats, true b'ue Republicans defeated candidates, or Socialists, join to gether and give Mr. Whitmore, the newly elected mayor, our undivided and heartiest support. No other town in the state has abiighter future than has Nephi. With its dry farming interests still in the swaddling clothes of its infancy, with its mountains o gypsum, with its vast coal deposits near by, with its Nebo mining possibilities, with its fruit, climate, and soil unsurpassed, with its big and ever growing g industry, with its second stock-shippin- to-no- ne educational facilities, it certainly has the possibilities for a future of which we shall all some day be justly proud. But in the accomplishment of this disked progress, our municipal horizon bristles with many new and difficult problems. , Our electric light system is inadequate; our water mains are worn out; our ordinances are mixed up, indefinite, conflicting, and sadly need revising; our streets (with the exception of Depot street) are worse than those of some back wood's town; the new prohibition ordinance is one of the most drastic in the state, and its enforcement will be most difficult. A great, writer once said that 4,the statesmen of the future win be those who can solve oar municipal problems." True this is, and we have elected a mayor and council who are competent and able; but try as they may, if they are not backed by the whole people, their efforts will be futile and of no avail. Not that we love our parties less, but that we love Nephi more. Then TOGETHER for a bigger and greater Nephi, . t and'gray, ' here, Amid , thesefroclc-gir- t desert wastes that once were wild and drear Where rocks concealed the reptiles fang, the brush an indian foe; Both ever ready to deal a deadly blow. The canyon river then flowed through a solitary range, With just a streak of emerald to mark a line of change, And when you camped on yonder range in those long years ago, Where desert lands lie wide and deep and only sage-brus- h grow, No doubt you scanned the horizon with eager anxious face, And felt each object echo, "what God a forsaken place!" No friendly hand was there to grasp, no cheery face in sight, No hearty voice to welcome you as hundreds do tonight And when your scanty board was spread t'was not with dainties .

TRIBUTE TO THE OLD FOLKS. all $10,000 for Alfalfa Seed One of the most profitable CfODS that manv nf vui manners have harvested jthis year, is that of alfalfa seed. A1fhi4, i.. few of the farmers in the Nebo scnooi district raised quantities of seed to speak of, yet for their .11 tt.a aaos , there was realized mu over $10,000. The price paid this year was 13 cents per pound or $9.10 per bushel, thus making it one of the most profitable crops that can be raised on the farm. Mr. Charles Wilson informed the Times reporter that Wilson Bros, produced on their farm this year about 330 bushels of a good quality of seed, and which hrmicrVit miciii in ouiuc thingover$3,000. Elisha Russell raised about 90 bushels, Chas. J. Sperry 100 bushels, Roy 0 bushels, James Bean 90. bushels, Edward Jones, 92 bushels, Hyrum Tolley, G3 bushels Timothy Hoyt, 143 bushels, others produced smaller amounts which were disposed of at the aame figure. mm im!. Whit-akerl4- ; strewn, You dined not quite so sumptuously as here this afternoon. You found no buildings such as this; no churches great or small; Nor e'en a school, and 'tis a fact you found no house at all. But nothing daunted you began your toil with might and main, And soon neat cottages appeared upon the plain Broad areas of wilderness were quickly fenced and cleared, The Indian foes were vanquished and the reptiles disappeared. Then farms and fields were parceled out, and shade trees grew apace, And orchards of the choicest fruits filled many a vacant space, Anon, the waters of the creek were dammed to change its course And flouring mill and lumber plant were propelled by its force, And irrigating ditches, too, encompassed farm and field By which the thirsty soil was coaxed abundantly to yield. Then roads were opened, streets surveyed, and bridges spanned the creeks, And ways and means were quick contrived to reach the mountain peaks. And thus your efforts ere long began to show. Till perserverance finally overcame each stubborn foe. Then honor to ye worthy sires, whose toil subdued the plain, And changed the barren wastes tto fields of fruitful smiling grain. But all the hardships you endured in those long years ago To gain the blessings of today, your sons may never know. But what of our brave matrons here, our mothers tried and true? Who cheered you in your darkest hours and helped you bear them, too. They left their all in distant land3 and crossed the trackless sea To love and care for you and share your destiny. They traversed those broad, sterile plains mid summer's torrid heat With scant supplies and little time to rest their aching feet But ever planning, day by day, to ease your heavy load Through all those dreary thousand miles of rugged, cheerless road. And when at length they reached their goal and felt their trials done. New difficulties intervened which proved them scarce begun. For when you ventured forth with life's dread ills to cope. You heard their whisper at your side, of confidence and hope. Then when you built your humble homes near this now favored spot Each matron queened it royally within her lowly cot And entertained you sumptuously wherein you stood in need; Though oft times, I've heard, the will was taken for the deed. Shoulder to shoulder with you since, they have nobly stood, In all your early struggles to procure your daily food. Though poverty and sickness too, and ills that oft betide. The burden they have helped you bear and stood true by your side. They sympathized and prayed for you when'er in deep distress. And joyed with you when fortune crowned your efforts with success. And through those checkered years that's past so precious have they grown. That every object of their lives are bound within your own. God bless ye then, ye heroines of that devoted band. Your equals now can scarce be found in broad Columbia's land And scores of decendants, too, are winning worth and fame, And future generations yet will reference your name. As we stroll through our city's mart and down each quiet street And note its public buildings and its private dwellings neat We thank our noble pioneers who bravely paved the way Unto these pleasant happy homes that we enjoy today. But many of these honored ones have fallen by the way. And left some vacant scats around the festive board today. Still, while we eulogize theirdceds and hold their memory dear We're thankful for the "Dear Old Folks" that still are gath- ered here. Oh! may your pathway ever teem with pleasure, bright and true And many, many years remaici, of happiness for you. And as each ,. tn rolls around may you be found among The numbers of our veterans who form its festive throng. We wish you all the blessings that to mortals here are given.
