A lady friend tells me one of her resolutions for this year. She said she intended to station three little guards at her lips and bid them challenge every statement she made against others. 1st. Is it kind to say these things? 2d Ia it necessary? 3rd. Is it true? Can we do better than to follow this friend in her resolution? PERRON The Walters Stock Company are visiting us once more. They played, "On the Frontier," Wednesday night to a crowded house, and on Thursday night they presented, "The Wolf." We appreciate the annual visit of Mr. Christensen and his talented company, whose visits have Leen made regularly for a number of yaars past and who have always given their patrons pleasing pleas-ing and well produced performances. We know Walter's Stock Company spells excellence. Uome again! vvhile a cloud of apprehension and uncertainty in financial matters has been hovering over our community, yet with the determination and hardihood characteristic char-acteristic of western people, much building build-ing is being done in our town. Mr. H. A. Pettey has just completed an up-to-date barn costing $1000. Mr. Martin Swensen's barn is neariner completion ana this also is a model of its kind. Mr. G. A. Pettey is proceeding to reconstruct recon-struct his home which was partially destroyed by fire late in December. This will also be a modern cottage. Mr. J. J. Rasmussen is enlarging his home, adding three more rooms and otherwise improving his building and this too will be modern. Mr. J. J. Hanson's new home which will be a credit to the town is also nearing completion. Steps are being taken to re-organize the F. & M. Co-op and we understand that they will be in business again with in two or three weeks. BrotherChristianPeterson has returned return-ed from the L.D.S. Hospital and under the circumstances is feeling very well We welcome him back again. We appreciated the lecture of Mayor Glasmann on the principles of "Progressive "Pro-gressive Republicanism." Mr. Chris Jensen's mules ran away with his buggy the other day. This somewhat enthused him in regard to their speed and he boasted that they could out-run any team in town. Some of the boys wanted to see a little fun so they hitched two saddle horses together and out-ran the mules. It is supposed that they will run again but will perhaps per-haps wait until the mules are trained a little better. ORANGEVILLE Mr. and Mrs. Leo Moffitt have been called to mourn the- death of their eldest child,- a bright little girl hardly six years of age, who died from diphtheria. diph-theria. The news came to their relatives rela-tives at Orangeville from Helper, where they have been living for sometime. A brother of Mrs. Moffitt went immediately, im-mediately, prepared to bring them home They arrived Sunday night and the little one was taken to its last resting place Monday forenoon. What makes it more distressing is that it was impossible impos-sible for friends to attend, as they are quarantined, so will have to receive the condolence and warm sympathy of their many friends through the columns of the Progress. May the Lord bring to them the solace they so much stand I in nee t of, in this hour of their great affliction.

Their coming was very opportune on account of the sorrow of their daughter,- Mrs Leo Moffitt, they having arrived at Helper the same dy the little girl died. It was a great comfort to the. sorrowing parents but a very sad ending end-ing to an enjoyable winter vacation, but suchislif;. "Into each life some rain I must fall some days ba dark and dreary."

May they live to enjoy it ae they so richly deserve. Mrs. Mary Fail is on the sick list. "Those awful nerves" are the trouble. The little son of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Reid met with an accident that might have proven very serious. He fell with an open pocket knife in his hand. The blade cut a deep gash over the eye but it is to be wondered at, that it did not go directly into the eye. He ia getting along nicely. Mr. and Mrs. Hyrum Huntington entertained en-tertained a large number of their friends at their ruby wedding anniversary. Mrs. Huntington is a gifted hostess and all were made to feel at home and enjoy en-joy themselves to the fullest extent.

It was also the birthday of Mrs. H. M. Reid and Mrs. P- A. Childs. A few of the Orangeville friends of Mr. and Mrs. Bowen of Castledale are in ecstacies of delight over the new home the latter has completed, where they were most royally entertained this week. It is a modern bungalow in every sense of the word, where the busy housewife can enjoy the labor that devolves upon her. Such buildings inspire many others to "go and. do like wise" as they are a "thing of beauty and a joy forever." |
