(Signed) J. B. MEEKS, President Town of Huntington An awful accident occured here on Sunday last. Little Ross Fail, son of Mary Ellen Meeks, with some other boys four boys on two horses rwere racing and each animal was following a trail. They finally came to a bridge where both trails came together and one horse struck the other and knocked him over, the horse falling on the Meeks lad. The little fellow-lay fellow-lay unconcious from Sunday afternoon until Tuesday evening when he passed away. The funeral services were held Wednesday at four o'clock in the meetinghouse. A good crowd gathered gath-ered to show respect to the deceased lad and bereaved relatives. Ex-Bishop Antone Nielsen and Elder Peter E. Johnson were the speakers and each had many good words to offer to console con-sole the mourners. Bishop D. Heuer Leonard made a few closing remarks and thanked the people for all favors and assistance rendered. The musical numbers by thee hoir were: "I Need Thee," "When Shall We Meet Thee, Dear Savior," etc. Sisters Senate and Elizabeth Johnson sang a duet, "Sometime, Somewhere." Invocation was offered by M. E. Johnson and the benediction was pronounced by D. H. Leonard. Our neighbor town Mohrland put up a force-put or minute men's band for the "Over the Top" celebration and it answered every mil for the occasion with credit. Now that little "get-together" has caused the music fever to rise until some of the boys suggested an organization which was put into effect ef-fect last Wednesday evening with the aid of Musician Strauss of Mohrland as teacher. So we will hear more about them later on probably about the 4th of July. Let us encourage that little germ of stick-to-itiveness that their labors may lead them to usefulness and pleasure, j Hats! Hat! Whatever became of those hats? Near a dozen were misplaced. mis-placed. Surely at a celebration like that they were not stolen. Now, boys, you who allowed your fingers to be mischievous by hiding the hats, quietly quiet-ly place them out in sight again that the rightful owners may have them. They cannot afford to buy new hats now as it takes all the surplus money to buy Thrift stamps these days. Let's not allow mischief to be expensive nowadays. We are reminded of a hat that was misplaced(?) which cost the misplacing party over $60 before he could get it back to where he found it. On Sunday last a committee wan chosen to push the Stamp drive and on Monday morning the members were on the alert early, each pair of workers having a row of blocks. Some of them had finished the canvas by 2 or 3 o'clock p.m., and nearly all spoke well of their reception, a total of $22,000 out of $26,000 being subscribed. sub-scribed. It is getting warm over here. On Wednesday &t 2 p.m. a thermometer was caught registering 110 and the instrument was hidden under an awning. awn-ing. The only way to be revenged for the like of that is to keep well watered and get it back In plant growth. You can do it. Our teaching fraternity is nearly all up north taking in the summer schools. We have a few friends from Sanpete San-pete here visiting with us. Ahiah Mor-ley, Mor-ley, aged 85, a daughterinlaw of Patriarch Patri-arch Isaac Morley of early church history, Is visiting Mrs. Lucy Prest- t wich, a daughter, accompanied by other relatives, and we bid them welcome. wel-come.
