Show (0)inpon((. I ) i HUNTINGTON j The Mart Jensen thresher and engine arrived on Monday last and immediately I coupled up and went to work. A water .tank on wheels accompanies the critter, so it can have its drink at any time or place. Report says it is starting off very creditably with its work. On Saturday last a Republican primary pri-mary was held and 7 delegates elected to attend the convention at the county seat on Tuesday,, 6 or 7 were present and attended the business. On Wednesday last a 12-lb. bady girl came to Mr3. Maggie Rowley's with full I intention of making its home there, the people welcomed the little stranger and are going to keep it until it gets big. Aunt Maggie is feeling fine. Louis Marshal who had his foot crushed at Cedar Creek some time since ! has returned home from the Hospital at ! Salt Lake. He still has his foot, though somewhat deformed and no doubt will be stiff in the ankle joint. He is improving im-proving nicely now and will be around again before long. All welcome him j home once more, with a good prospect i of having the use of his foot. J. W. Nixon is spending the past 3 or j 4 days in Price making a 2nd car ship-; ship-; ment of honey from our valley. Another something going on up Huntington canyon this week. Another posse just gone up. We do not know whether the grading is started or not. A. F. Hector who has been ailing for a long time, has been very low for the past week. On Wednesday they thought he was passing away but he : rallied again and is still hanging on. CLEVELAND Miss Adilade Oviatt is home from j Nine Mile Canyon where she has been working for E. C. Lee. Our schools opened on the 12th inst. with E. W. Erickson as principal and Darwin Brinkerhoff, Grace Cox, Mira McKee and Dorotha Babble as his corps of teachers. E. W. Erickson is stepping quite high these days, another boy having arrived at his home. Mrs. James T. Johnson and babes accompanied the Rawleigh man on a trip to Emery this week as a sort of a vacation outing. Wm. D. Stokes is wearing a smile which one is only privileged to wear once in a lifetime, the occasion being the birth of his first son. All concerned are doing fine. Mrs. Sorenson recently from Denmark Den-mark who hung herself at Huntington was buried here Monday. It appeared as though the trip across the ocean, together to-gether with the shock of finding the only known friend in this country dead when she arrived had unbalanced her mind. j Ed Jensen came running in the other day and just stopped long enough to say "its a girl and the sweetest thing on 'earth." Mother and babe doing fine. Ed acts like a boy with his first pair of red toped boots. The brick work is finished on the new home of John Timothy's. John Anderson has the foundation finished for his new house and will commence com-mence on the brick work as soon as the brick is burned. E. S. A. NOTES School work is moving along nicely and we have a fine band of eager workers. Our attendance is already a record breaker with 112 the first two weeks. If you think we do not enjoy our new home ask teachers and students. Our new furniture and fixtures are certainly appreciated. The rest room for ladies is great blessing and its necessity has already been proved. Students as well as teachers are doing do-ing better work than ever before and our principal wears a smile that won't come off. Bro. Robinson has a splendid choir started and the musical side of our school is being tuned up right. Corn seems to be his favorite grain for he is spending some of his time training Maizie. Our Academy dance comes Friday night. You are invited to come and enjoy our social function with a band of willing workers. Did you other towns say that you wished to play ball? Come on. boys, from any town. We have both a Wellington Well-ington and a Blucher this year. Now is the best time to enter before the 1st. monthly examinations. We have room a plenty troubles few strikers strik-ers none. The following lines were composed by Bro. Willey while on his way to school: The Sentinel on the Hill Shine on proud sentinel on the hill Give forth thy beacon light; Call the student to thy walls by day, Guide the traveler home by night. The man made light that shines so bright Sees the wanderer from afar; The God given ray seen through the day, Is the student's Magi 3tar. Come then, O youth, from Emery's Orts Come forth from eyery Khan; Look up and gladden your parents hearts Ere the time is past and gone. If you get that ray that shines through the day Your hearts will warm and thrill And guided aright you'll bless that light That shines on the sentinel hill. ORANGEVILLE The last week's storms have done enormous damage to the crops of hay and grain. The alfalfa is black in the cocks all over the fields and wheat and oats are growing in the shock. The storms of rain and hail this season have almost discouraged the farmers in this neck of the woods. Tuesday's storm was a scorcher, and we didn't get it all either north of town was a lake of water and things went swimming to the San Rafael. Mr. and Mrs. Ted Peacock gave their wedding dance Wednesday evening and it was well attended. The only thing that marred the pleasures of the evening even-ing was the evidence that booze was on tap somewhere. Of course, nobody knows where. June Moffitt treed a bear in the mountains last week. His dog scented him out, and rather than fight he went up a tree. June had his repeater and supposed the magazine was full of cartridges, cart-ridges, he let Mr. Beaf have one and brought him down. Then he discovered that he had no more cartridges, but the one was sufficient. The Orangeville steam thresher is traveling around. It gets in the mud once in awhile and threshes plenty of wet grain. The Commercial Club will meet Friday Fri-day evening to transact some important import-ant business. Mr. Whitehead, expert for the Utah Vehicle and Implement Co., was in town Wednesday and Thursday, putting the steam thresher in shape to thresh alfalfa seed but he failed so far. |
