Show C zr "n ; ) HUNTINGTON A meeting for the purpose of having the taxpayers of School District No. 5 vote on accepting lots 3 and 4 of the public square was held recently.

After the matter was discussed at some length a motion carried car-ried to the effect that the school trustees trus-tees be instructed to receive the lots. The town board and school trustees are conjointly making inquiry to learn definitely defi-nitely if the transfer may be legally made. Brigham Nielsen and family are leaving leav-ing us to make their home in Salt Lake. A theatre for the benefit of Henry Stevenson and family, who have several months past suffered much sickness, was given by the Huntington Drumatic assoc ation last Monday evening. The E. S. A. band, after serenading serenad-ing the town, held forth in the Nixon hall with a dance Saturday evening.

ORANGEVILLE Who is surprised at the governor's veto of the Prohibition bill? Very few in this vicinity seem to b and there are those here who say that since they heard the governor's talk in the campaign cam-paign of two years ago on the prohibi tion question, they were satisfied he never would sign a bill of that nature no matter how (good it might be nor how much the people might want it, but then Emery county's kick would have very little effect with the powers that be in high places. Who ever heard of any such a thing as anyone being appointed ap-pointed on any committees or state commission from the county of Emery? But prohibition will come to the state of Utah at some future time, whether the legislature follows the governor's suggestions or not in the matter. The Orangeville Dramatic company, we understand, is hard at work on one of the most sensational plays that was ever put on the boards of any theatre. New York went wild oyer it. They hive engaged G H. Jack, the renowned ' s;enic artist, to paint a line of scenery for the occasion. The play is called ' Experience", and depicts one of our modern youths with plenty of money, w.'o goes out into the world to get experience, ex-perience, and falls in with many tempta tions in his wanderings. The company intends to present the play next Friday and Saturday evenings, (April 2d and 3d). The new scenery and properties w.ll be the most modern and elaborate t lat have ever been put on the stage in Emery county. Everybody should see this grand play, and patronize it for its moral uplift. New music effects will be staged under the direction of Mr. Edw. P. Cox. The aged and infirm from all the neighboring towns are in-v.ted in-v.ted to attend a dress rehearsal on Fri-diy, Fri-diy, April 3d at one o'clock, when they will be admitted free.

The husbandman is making ready for this season's labors in the field and the ground is in fine condition for the plough A grand farewell party was given on Wednesday evening for U E Cjrtig and family who leave Orangeville for a new home in Idaho in a few day3. May they have plenty of success wherever they may sojourn in the Gem state. CLEVELAND Levi and Harry Mortensen and Lucile Cowley were over from the E. S. A. last Sunday, which accounts for the pleasant smiles of Barbara, Myrtle, and Emery. Last Sunday night a large number of young people gathered at the Timothy home in a sociable in honor of Tom, who, it is unders.ood, will soon leave for the reservation where his brother now resides. Sunday night also witnessed another very pleasant sociable, when the Primary Pri-mary officers and teachers with their escorts surprised their former president Mrs. Jane Litster. Gaines, lunch and program were the main features of the evening. Mrs. Litster was presented with a slipper case, made by the teachers, teach-ers, and a key rack, made by the boys of the 5th grade. A large number of friends assisted Grandma Greenland to celebrate her 90th birthday on Tuesday, March 23 '. A very enjoyable time was spent. Glen Johnsop and Moroni Oveson are back to the farm again after having spent the winter at the E. S. A. "Millie, The Quadroon" was presented present-ed to a large and appreciative audience last Saturday night by the home troup. A matinee was given in the afternoon to the children. We were pleased to see the face of Pres. Oveson at our services Sunday. We understand that Pres. Oveson and son Louis P. last week sold a large bunch of cattle to Eastern parties. There has been quite a few deaths a-mong a-mong the cattle here from the effects of black leg. A great deal of vaccination vaccina-tion has been done and it is hoped the disease will not spread farther. E. E. Davis, has just set up a new grinding machine, which is a great convenience con-venience to the people as it will save them a trip to Huntington to get their hog feed ground. Mrs. Lillias Mangum visited last week with her parents. Ivan Johnson, assistant superintendent superintend-ent of the Sunday school, came over from the E. S. A. to attend the party Wednesday evening. To say that everybody every-body who attended the party had a goud (Continued on last page) CLEVELAND (Continued from page 1) time is expressing it mildly. We believe be-lieve we would be safe in saying that it was the best time Cleveland has ever witnessed. In fact, it was one round of enjoyment fr..m start to finish. A short, but spicy program was rendered I after which numerous games were play-j play-j ed, where even the old folks felt they ' j were young again and took an active part; then came an excellent lunch, con-i con-i sisting of sandwiches, cake an 1 lemon- i ade, closing with a quaker's meeting where everybody was supposed to keep quiet, but they just couldn't. Now parents, show your appreciation of what the officers and teachers have done and coma to Sunday school. There is plenty of room in the Parents class a"d many valuable things can be learn- , ed. I Some of the young people last Tues-, day night tendered a surprise to Miss Lora Childs, who expects to leave in the near fut ir3 with her parents for the reservation. The many friends of Mrs. Cook are very please 1 to sea her able to get out on crutches after a confinement of 7 months. |
