Show FERRON We had one of the finest rainstorms ever the other day and we can see the farmer with a big smile all over his features sitting In the sun and planning plan-ning on how soon he may commence work in the field. Some of the sheep men are in and report storms clear down to Blnbad and the desert, and there are only a very few cases of spring fever so far. The opening of the new amusement hall o Black Hawk was attended by a large number of Ferron people, all of them reporting a grand time. They danced almost all night (until four o'clock o'-clock in the morning) with plenty of free lunch, Ice cream, and bunch. George Richardson and family are figuring on moving back to Idaho In the near future. We are sorry to lose good neighbors, especially at a time when we need all the help we can get and all the producers we have got. However, Mr. Richardson came from Idaho here and knows that country and knows what he Is going back to. He Is trying to dispose of his property here his farm and other odds and ends. The light man, Mr. Malouf, is still here, busy putting in lights In the various vari-ous houses. It seems as though the people here have lost their faith in getting electric lights. Mr. Malouf has placed about fifty gasoline lamps with local people. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Ralphs, two of our school teachers, have left for the east where they will visit with Mrs. Ralphs' relatives who live in Kansas. Mr. and Mrs. Ralphs have both been teaching in the local public school a part of the winter and it's with regret that we see both of them go. Cliff passed the examination for service under un-der the draft law and expects to be called to the colors before so very long. If that should be the case it may be a long time before he will again appear in our midst. The J. I. Case threshing machine man, Mr. Elgle, and J. B. MacKnlght of the Farmers Exchange, have completed com-pleted a very strenuous campaign here In the way of selling farm machinery. w. s. 8. |
