Show (ffounty QJ - ORANGEVILLE Our townsman, Mr. Wm. Stilson, who had baen bedridden for a long time at last answered the call and has gone to his great and final rest. He passed away so quietly that the watchers at his bedside did not know when the final end came. Had he lived until the 20th of this month he would have been 80 years of age. He was a devoted hus- j band and took great pleasure in his ; wife accompanying him in his pleasure trips on many occasions, when he was j quite aged. They were real companions in every sense of the word, which will make it doubly hard for her, as she is very poor in health. Sister Stilson certainly cer-tainly has the sympathy of the entire community. Mr. Stilson had lived in Orangeville 30 years, being one of the pioneers and a highly respected citizen. The speakers at the funeral were A. C. Van Buren, Jasper Robertson and U. j E. Curtis who eulogized the character and life of Mr. Stilson. He is survived j by a widow and a Urge family of children chil-dren and grandchildren. He was a pony j ; express mailcarrier in the early days and went through all the privations of : ' pioneer life. He whs also an Indian war veteran and helped in pioneering southern Utah towns. j c A good representation of the mem- ' bers of the Relief society attended the 1 conference at Huntington Sunday last. , 1 Mesdames Maggie Cox, Fannie Fox, Nettie Crawford and Cora Cox sang a i quartet, piano accompaniment by Mrs. ; Ruth Peacock. Also a solo bv Mrs. I Cora Cox. It was a pleasure to all to see oar beloved President Emeline B. j Wells, who is hale and hearty at the j age of 85. ! Mrs. Fox, mother of Messrs. Geo. J and Ed Fox, is over from Manti visiting her boys. Their sister accompanies her. j Mrs. Fox is certainly a marvel for her age, which is 68. She traveled over the j mountain by team. She is a great ad- I vocate of batning in the open air, deep j breathing, walking and jumping the rope for health and longevity. She is quite grey but her face has a fresh, youthful look and she is nimble and ' active. In interviewing her, she laugh- j ingly said she wasn't going to have any more birthdays. She is an inspiration ; to all to mnke the most of life and keep 1 young as long as possible. j Mrs. Marie Christensen of the Pri- ! mary association visited the local board this week giving her demonstration work for the benefit of the children. The Y. L. M. I. A. officers gave a party to the members, who in turn invited in-vited the j oung men, to take part in! what was a very pleasant affair. A nice little lunch with games of many kinds were indulged-in. Dell Peacock came in from his work on the road between Wellington and j Sunnyside and has taken his family ' back with him. Mrs. Peacock expects to cook for the company. j Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Fullmer have re-' tnrned from the Big Spring Ranch where they have been for the summer. The storm that passed over our mountainside Monday last brought down a flood that has not heen equaled for years. Considerable debris and timber came with it but, thanks to our wonderful creek bottom, no great harm was done only to our canals and ditches, which were broken at the head and the towns left without water. ' j There is a petition in circulation to have the county road extend through ' Straight canyon on to Ephraim. Should -this be granted great care should be taken that the road should be so far away from the creek bottom that it cannot be damaged by the volumes of water that gather in the mountains when it storms. Such a road, if substantially sub-stantially built, would mean much to' both counties and as good roads are the j order of the day, let us boost for this i important measure. Mr. and Mrs. David Tuttle and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Laramie, also Wilford Thavne anh others, have gone to Clear Creek to work, HUNTINGTON After a Bhort illness Mrs. Andrew L.

Sister Anderson is survived by one little child and a host of relatives. She passed to the other side of life in the youth of motherhood and her departure de-parture leaves a deep wound of sadness.

An unpleasant incident occurred at the Minchey home last week. About midnight the mother was awakened by a noise on the porch. She arose and found the disturbance to have been caused by a dog, but soon discovered two men in the back yard several rods from the house. She surmised that they were after fruit as she had missed some fruit the previous night. The men, however, slowly advanced toward the house, conversing in under-tones. Mrs. Minchey became alarmed and demanded de-manded to know wh they were and what they were about. She put the question to them the third time and each time they ignored her and continued con-tinued to advance. She then told the daughter to hand her the revolver and stepping out upon the porch she snapped snap-ped a blank shell, at which the men (Continued on last page) (Continued from first page) j snickered. An instant later she sent a bullet jver their heads and the men took their departure as hurriedly as possible. The night was too dark lor her to be able to discern who the men. were but she could tell that one was tall, the other more short and heavy. J The heavy one she judged to ,be past j middle age owing to his sluggish move-j move-j ments. Not knowing what the measure of the law would be in case she should slioot the men, she was timid about aiming to hit them. , LAWRENCE The big Reeves thresher, which was bought by the Lawrence people last -fall, was sold last week to Messrs. Zufelt and Blanchard of Emery. Just what the deal amounted to is not known. We have the right to assume that Cleveland and Huntington are afraid to meet our boys at baseball, as. the "double header" which was to be play- j ed here was left to Lawrence without an iota of either the other teams." Well ttn.t's alright! Say,"Jimmie, " wasn't that an awful a-w-f-u-1 insuU? ... Stake Pres.
