CLEVELAND The 4th of July passed off very pleas-I pleas-I antly here, no accident to mar the pleasure pleas-ure of the day. Mr. and Mrs. Leigh Lamph, Bertha Smith and David Lamph were visitors here the past week. Mrs. May Davis is visiting with her mother, Mrs. Lewis Whimpey. James L. Oviatt spent the holiday at Ferron. We wonder why? Mr. C. M. Frederickson and wife and father took a trip through the county the first of the week. Jas. T.' Johnson is down from the reservoir for the purpose of taking his family to the mountains to spend the summer with him. It has been reported that L. P. Larson Lar-son has handed in his resignation as manager of the Cleveland Co-op. This is sad news to the people of Cleveland as he has given perfect satisfaction and his pleasant face and kind manners will be greatly missed behind the counter. Miss Sarah Larson is visiting in Eph-raim Eph-raim with her sister, Mrs. Daniel Niel-sen. Niel-sen. The brick work on the new school j house will commence in a few days. - j HUNTINGTON I Mr. Kopf, our photographer, has a number of nice Huntington views on post cards and proposes to show us something nice in thatline. We realize he has a good foundation to work on, our church house, school building and public park --with such public views he cannot make a mistake. He has a few private residences also. Wm. Howaid, who was reported ill last week, broke out with small pox two or three days later and is quite poorly from the combination of troubles. All other cases are on the improve and all flags will soon be taken down if no more developes in the same localities. On the morning of the 4th of July there was a grand celebration at J. F. Wakefield's, the family being under quarantine with small pox and isolated from friends. They were all assembled under the trees on the lawn, which were beautifully decorated with the national colors, and there listening to that magic music box, the graphaphone.belch-ing graphaphone.belch-ing forth the strains of those noble airs, "Star Spangled Banner," "America" and other national and band selections. They were all ailing with either the disease or vaccination, but they made much of their imprisonment. Fumigation Fumiga-tion day i? drawing near, when they will be released. Another car load of flour just unloading unload-ing at Nixon's to feed the farmers and families. This should be good as it has come from headquarters in Salt Lake county. The clouds and the wind are a great detriment to the hay gathering and causessome, whose tongues are unbridled i to use "cuss words." A posse of men accompanied J. F. Monsen up the canyon. They will repair re-pair the road to the saw mill so it can ! get busy. j We are pleased . to note that Price ! used our vocal talent in their 4th of July program, Miss Olive Nixon and j Mr. Alva Woodward both having taken ! part in same. They returned home on j Wednesday with credit for the selections rendered at the celebration. J. W. Nixon has just, brought home fifty stands of bees and report says J. Fleming Wakefield will bring one hundred hun-dred more in the near future. The prospect pro-spect is good for the bees if the wind don't blow. |
