Show (ounty jQk I- ) CLEVELAND (Too late for last week) A very interesting game of baseball between Lawrence and Cleveland took place Aug. 2nd. The score was twelve to seven in favor of Cleveland. The game was played well on both sides, but there were a very few bad plays made. Come over and visit us again, Lawrence. A matched game between Wellington Welling-ton and Cleveland is expected to take place here 'August 9th, and a return game between Lawrence and Cleveland at a later date. Our boys have located their ball ground in town, two blocks west and a half block south of the Co-op store. It looks like the boys mean business. Well, success to you boys. PERRON (Too late for last week) Never was there a prettier sight than was the dinner table, set for the old folks at the Social Hall last Thursday, August 1st. There were 75 seated, beside be-side the committee which consisted of 9 members with John Zwahlen, president presi-dent and manager. Trees, fruits and flowere were the decorations and as the old folks marched from the body of the hall to the stage, they were presented pre-sented with an old folks badge which was pinned on by the committee. The large, beautiful raspberries which were used for dessert certainly were grand to y look upon. All honor to the committee and those who helped make the party the success that it was. The martial band was out; which helped to liven up the good old souls, who fought bravely the trials that were heaped upon them in the early days. The prbgram in part consisted of a song "Nearer, my God to Thee" by nine little girls dressed in white, and a talk on the life of the Prophet Joseph Smith, by J. C. Hitchcock, Hitch-cock, he having been personally acquainted ac-quainted with him. Bishop Rasmussen gave the speech of welcome. Clyde A. Nelson was home a few days from the range. He has gone to Nevada where he and partner expect to run cattle. Some of our boys might pull their coats off, for the wrong man some of these times, (now boys, be careful. ) W. H. Worthen's team so getting dangerous, with their runaways (twice in one week;) The last time they ran away, they ran into Foster Nelson's outfit throwing him from his seat and causing his horse to run away, which resulted in the buggy getting smashed all to pieces. The orchestra which furnished music for the old folks dance, certainly was appreciated, it being lively and old fashioned. A party was given at H. A. Nelson's Wednesday night, in honor of Clyde, before his departure to Nevada, Thursday. Thurs-day. Success to you, Clyde. Samuel Singleton and Co. have just got in one car of XAX shingles and two cars of lumber in. It looks like they mean business. Their cement work in front of the new building is a good job well done. Alf Knudsen is doing the painting. F. A. Killpack expects to start the brick work on his new home Monday. The Worthen boys are the contractors. C. E. Larsen was a pleasant caller at our town to-day (Friday), on business busi-ness of course. Mr. Sam Killpack is here visiting his brothers-Dave, Fred, Will, and Rue. He thinks Castle Valley is'nt so bad after all. Come over, Sam, and join us. G. A. Pettey has gone up to wo rk at his saw mill, also Hans Deghn, Less Cox and others. Our cow boys are Jup branding and keeping out of the way of "Bruin" who has been killing several of the cattle this spring. Ephram AUred has just hitched on a new road leveler and will proceed to smooth up the county roads. - HUNTINGTON Miss Hattie McElprang has returned to her home in Cedar City, after a pleasant visit here with relatives. Miss Ruth Gordon recently came home from a trip to Salt Lake City and Ogden. Mr?. May Nielson is in Provo visiting visit-ing with her sister Mrs. Kate Johnson. Merchant Miller and wife have just made their eastern trip to St. Louis, and have bought up a large line of merchandise for the fall and winter. Two of Huntington's swiftest horses will run here on the 15th. The Murr-ing Murr-ing and McElprang horses are from the "Lu.ky" Baldwin estate. A purse of $500 is supposed to be the object of the race. The many cases of whooping cough here are mostly over with, and the quarantines lifted. Miss Maud Wakefield is home again.

On the 7th, a special meeting was called to consider different points concerning con-cerning our water system, and the work is now being rushed as rapidly as possible. The water coming into our town is right from the mountains and is pure and clean, but we want the construction that is underway for the modern conveniences it will bring, and for the benefit it will be to our few remaining re-maining mineral lots. |
