Tuesday, Dec. 22nd, will be our shortest day and longest night. Everyone will be glad to see our days legin lengthening out once more. A little Italian or dago beggar girl, about 13 years old, was around town this week. Besides begging for bread, she asked for some men's old -trousers. The Second ward Sabbath school will give a free entertainment in the ward meeting house Christmas morning; a dance in the afternoon and another in the evening. Before going to town to make any kind of purcbaa; no matter how trivial just pick up The Bugle e and run your eye over the advertisiug columns and in this way decide which store you will patronize. We understand there ia a meeting meet-ing to be held in the First, Third and Fourth wards next Monday night todiacusB the school situation. Undoubtedly the proposed uuion of the four districts will cut quite a iigure in the evening's program. We have heard never a complaint against a single trustee of this City. We believe they are doing their utmost to further the grand cause of education. We have heard of one instance where the trustees even went to personal expense ex-pense to remedy certain existing evils. An exchange says that chess is a popular game among the Jews for the reason that it calls into play all those mental gifts which we are told peculiarly, distinguish that race: patience, boldness, calculation, calcu-lation, all those qualities which make them so successful in commerce, com-merce, law and other professions. Next Monday morning, Collector Mathias, in oidcr to comply with the law, must expose part of the property tor sale upon which there are still remaining unpaid taxes. The sale will he held in front of the Court House that morning. Some property in Brigham City and Corinne will go under the hammer. Bishop Nichols was seen hopping about on one leg, Thursday. We thought perhaps it was on account of his finished disposal of the superabundance of the peach, apple and potato crop the previous night, but on inquiry we found the source of his joy lay in his healed foot. He saya Charley Chong, the Chinese doctor, is a daisy and has cured him this time sure. Gas, water and oil continue to flow out of the earth, but the old ball ke-ps on rolling through space as if nothing had happened to it. By the way, Ohio claims to have the largest oil well in this country, if not in the world. It is located near North Baltimore, in Hancock county; and if permitted ro flow its full capacity would more than fill two of the 35,000 barrel tanks every twenty-four hours. Ex. "Marriage a failure? I should say nol! Why there is Lucinda, she gets up in the morning; milks Bix cows, guts breakfast, starts four children to skewl and looks after the other three, feeds the hens, likewise some motherless sheep. skims twenty pans of milk, washes the clothes, etc., etc. Think I ; could hire anyone to do it for what ' she gets? Not much I Marriage, sir, is a success, a great success." Ex. An exchange hits the nail square on the head when it says that it is hard for an editor of a paper to boom the town with a great dearth of advertising patronage staring hiin in the face. This is indeed true. It takes money to print a newspaper, no matter how poor it may be; and it is exceedingly hard for the person who looks after the editorial columns and the payment of bills to put himself in a "boom" spirit with expenses keeping pace with or exceeding the income of the oflice. On account of the low situation of the railway station, it being down in a cut, Brigham City is almost obscured from the hundreds of people who pass through here by train daily. They can sec few ! signs of it and naturally enough I think there is no town here at all. j Now if we had electric lights run-j run-j ning from town to the station, the j passengers would know that an . enterprising city lay just beyond their view, ;is an e'evtrie light system sys-tem is never found in an unin-i:a.o.li-u t'ort-si or on a sagebrush ;.;i.n. ; For- s. s;rcet be hii.t'i.. |
