Show ((TouRty Qk (orrgfg L HUNTINGTON The stormy weather the past week has checked up labors of our farmers a little. The threshers were idle for two or three days but at present all are busy again with a prospect of finishing the crop business before it storms more. On Sunday last the speakers at the Sacrament Meeting rehersed to us some of the conference news. On Monday evening the regular Priesthood meeting was in session with Bishop Nielson presiding, after a routine of word business, the winter's work for the quorums were outlined and the lessons arranged for the coming Monday evening. On Tuesday evening the opening session ses-sion of the Young Men's Mutual was held conjointly with the young ladies. President H. P. Brockbank presiding. A splendid program was rendered, one talk from each association in outlining the winter's work, the balance, musical reading and otherwise. President Ellis Johnson of the Young Ladies, being hoarse, could not talk above a whisper, kept the peace nicely that evening. Of course we hope it will not always be so. Following the Mutual Meeting the Democrats held a session when we had the privelege of hearing Judges Thur-man Thur-man and Whitecotton discourse for a while on the issues of the day, both were Aery gentlemanly in their utterance toward to-ward the other parties, and showing the good faith of the democrats. There was some talk next morning of having the latter gentleman talk on Republican ideas of the isues, as he so netimes does such things, but he made an early exit from town. We give him credit for being a live politician and able to speak for all the different parties, being always prepared on political questions. The first car of alfalfa seed is now being shipped from the Co-op company. It appears all will be sent out in the dirt this season. Machinery at the seed houses can clean much cheaper than by hand here. Prof. J. P. Miller is making us a visit just now. On Wednesday he mat the mothers and young ladies and gave them a talk and in the evening he held a public pub-lic meeting in the meeting house. It was not as well attended as it should have been. The Dr. is a competent man to teach the people and when his lectures are free, they should by all means be attended. He will also give Character readings and charts when desired. We would advise the young to get them and profit by them in future years, they will line out your best avocations to follow for success. Another An-other meeting this (Thursday) evening, We hope to see the house filled. We have no sick now, which makes all feel good. Our Young Ladies are preparing for a Holloween party in the near future. A good program is being arranged in a new line. We hope to see them well patronized as they need the proceeds to carry on the winter's expenses of the association. ORANGEVILLE C. L. Allen made a rather hurried business trip to Salt Lake this week getting back Thursday. The recent floods took out the Electric Power and Milling Co's. dam across the wash where they have had so much trouble again this week and it took them a day or two to get it fixed up. They never hesitate when they meet with an accident, but get at it at once. This is their only bad place and that will be permanent one of these days. A meeting is to be held tonight to arrange for a committee to meet the forest officials on the mountain Monday. This is an important matter and we hope for a good attendance. Our steam threshers have purchased an alfalfa huller and the experts have been here this week to start it. We don't intend to let anyone get ahead of us the best is none too good for Orangeville. Our town did her part in the political conventions just past and fared pretty well in the way of getting candidates. Wonder h,ow she will come out on elections? elec-tions? Mark Tuttle and others are up in the j high mountains these cold nights. The deer will no doubt be coming down soon but not in game sacks. 1 The popular Co-op has gone to giving prizes to make itself even more popular. S. R. Jewkes has gone to Sunnyside to work. Angus E. Johnson has located at Vernal. We understand tfiat the water will 1 ; not be taken out of the ditch for a j couple of weeks yet. EMERY On Sunday evening, October 9th, a meeting was held under the direction of the Mutuals in the interest of the library-gymnasium movement. It was well attended and an interesting program rendered. The proposition meets with much approval and several of "the citizens citi-zens have volunteered to donate books, magazines, and money and it is possible that the old school house may be fitted up for the purpose. Milton Olsen and Ralph Peacock are attending the B. Y. U. at Provo and Elsworth Christensen has gone to Eph-riam Eph-riam to attend the Snow Academy. Mrs. Ole Olsen and Mrs. C. E. Tor-gensen Tor-gensen have returned from Salt Lake where they attended conference. Since last report baby boys have been left at the following homes: Mr. and Mrs. A. Petty, Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Archie Morten-sen. Morten-sen. Mr. Anderson's baby only lived a few days. Mr. Black of Millard County has been in Emery this week buying most of the lucern seed raised here chis fall. He is paying 14 cents per pound. Although it was considered that lucern seed was almost a failure here this season, there will be several car loads shipped out. |
