Not so much fur the prize itself, but the winning of it will give our strawberries an enviable name. Our chances are the best for taking the first prize. The lumber firm of McMi-ster it Fosgren have launched out into the wagon and implement business. They have already received quite a consignment of goods in that line and are constructing an addition on the south of the main building for their reception. See their new ad. The grocery firm of L. M. Ilopson & Co. has sold out to Ilorsley it Sons. Croceries in Brigham City are sold I so close that there is little or no profit in that line. Mr. Ilopson saw this and concluded he would prefer to move to a place where there was at least a living in the business. A young fellow was arrested on ; the streets Thursday for disturbing j the peace and using indecent lan- guage. He was fined $10; just double the amount of a few months ago when he was arrested on a similar charge. Attorney Jenson prosecuted the case before Justice Mathias. On account of failure of a large consignment of poster paper and i stationery, which has been on the I road two weeks, we were compelled to print our supplement on colored paper last week. The shipment has not yet arrived and conse- ucntly we can issue no supplement supple-ment to-day. What will be done in Brigham City on the glorious Fourth? We should certainly have a big time. A rousing celebration will keep our people and their cash at home; will bring money here and will show there is still some life left in the torn, if the skunk berries are not yet ripe.

He was in the ha:ul-of ha:ul-of a little boy who claimed he had trained the animal himself. Tho Deseret telegraph office in Brigham City has been temporal' ily closed. The light business did not justify the company in con tinning the uptown ofiice longer. The Ogden Produce Exchange bulletined Brigham City green peas down there this year two days ahead of Plain City. Not so bad, eh? Our strawberries were also ahead of that place. We arc receiving orders from W ilia rtl, Coll ins ton and other neighboring towns for our slashing .15 cent offer of 100 note heads. 100 envelopes and 100 bt'sincss cards, all for only Do cents.

It is estimated there were over 800 children assembled at the Tabernacle Monday afternoon. They all acquitted themselves like so many liPtleladies and gentlemen; '.he assembly was quite free from noise and interrupli'm. The Conference Con-ference was ins true Live and the little ones apparently took a lively interest in the exercises. Thursday night, after regular weekly practice, the members of the Tabernacle choir suddenly and unexpectedly un-expectedly swooped down upon the residence of J. C. Wixom, giving that household a delightful surprise. sur-prise. The grateful recipient, Mrs. Wixom, has been a faithful choir l member for twenty-four years. The evening was most happily spent. We honestly believe that dur-i dur-i ing the past year we have given our subscribers one of the best e 'kly newspapers ever published publish-ed in the west. Excepting a few chronic kit kers who were never known to be pleased with anything any-thing but - themselves, there are very few but who have been more than pleased with our labors. Principal Angus Vance, of the Box Elder Stake Academy, has made arrangements with us to have published each week, one of the many meritorious compositions written by the pupils of the various vari-ous grammar classes of the Academy Acad-emy last winter. Our over-crowded columns prevented an earlier publication. pub-lication. Rut henceforth, one will appear weekly.
