Show MANTUA. Notes of Interest on Several Subjects Here and There, The ripening grain fields are looking splendid this week. The yield will not be a light one either. We Man tuains haven't much to kick about this season. Of course some of our sheepmen are feeling a little "down the mouth," but then even they should not expect good fortune every year. It's best to take all our reverses as pleasantly as possible. The "Little Valley" is now in its most charming garb. As has been said before, it is the picture of beautiful Swis mountain scenery. A heavy crop of lucern has been and is being cut. We ma' be a week or so behind Brigham with our first lucern crop as well as with our strawberries, but when our crops do cone "they get there just the same." It is thought that the Mantua strawberry crop will command nice prices this year. They come in late and ought to fetch high prices. The Bugler's vigorous assaults upon our bad canyon roads seem to drop the physic in the right spot. Some of our boys have a peculiar style of fishing a la mush rat. They strip themselves, a fair distance dis-tance from the town, and dive and splash about in the stream in great shape. Ofcourse they are after fish but never catch any. Bny, don't swim in that creek; the Brig-ham Brig-ham ppople are very fastidious as to whom they drink after. Ramulkk. Mantua, June 10. |
