Our own Pres. Lars P. Oveson was one of the speakers at the closing session ses-sion of the general conference at Salt Lake. He returned Thursday in company com-pany with Mrs. Oveson. Mr. and Mrs. Fred U. Oliver of Elmo returned Wednesday from Ephraim where they attended the funeral of Mrs. Oliver's sister's eldest daughter, Miss Huline Stevenson, which was held last Sunday. Among the attendants at conference and state fair whom we overlooked last week were Mrs. J. W. Seely Br., and Wm. E. King. All have returned now and report both conference and fair as being among the best ever held. Alton Pearson, son of Mr. and Mrs. John P. Pearson of Castledale and Miss Ethel Ware, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Ware of Orangeville, secured a license to wed yesterday, and will leave for the Manti temple on Sunday. As we went to press yesterday there was one merry time holding forth at the residence of Christopher Peterson where he and his very capable helpmate for the last fifty years are celebrating their golden wedding, ably assisted by a host of invited townsfolks.

When we used 10 attend school the theory that the judicial and executive branches of the government should go hand in hand was well-pounded into the noodle of yours truly but we were hardly hard-ly prepared for the peculiar demonstration demonstra-tion staged on the state road last Monday Mon-day morning when Deputy-sheriff Wil-berg Wil-berg came into town behind a good old horse with County Attorney Oveson's time and space annihilator in tow!

A Primary has been called by the two parties cunjoinuy for next Wednesday Wed-nesday night in the meetinghouse, when a joint ticket will be nominated for the coming town election. There has been considerable talk of a specially-slated ticket being put up ut the primary but such a move is doubtful now as a big majority of the citizens seems to favor giving the present board another term.
