The City Council will meet Mon-I Mon-I day as a board of equalization. P--of. T. B. Lewis, of Ogden, will ' deliver the oration of the day at the grove. Lots of people in this town would miss their suppers to attend a political feast. Geo. W. Craghead is just "coming "com-ing around" after an attack of sickness sick-ness which confined him to the house. Elder H. L. Steed and Stake President Rudger Clawson were the speakers at the Tabernacle last Sunday afternoon. We acknowledge, the receipt of a slice of the wedding cake from Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Peck. Of course we'll '"sleep on it." The Logan Daily Nation has "flopped." It now hops up to the stump crying vociferously "Republicanism "Re-publicanism or die!" A few lone streaks of snow are still discernible on the loftiest peaks 15 miles northand on those 7 miles south of town. There is a pious father in town who is so dreadfully good that he wont allow his fair daughters to chew gum on Sundays. Laborers in every vocation are as scarce in this City as saints in Sing Sing. But instead of finding employment at home, too man' ot our young men have been forced to seek work elsewhere. We have received a complimentary compliment-ary copy of Charles Ellis' history of Utah, from '47 to 70. A more favorable treatment on the Mormons Mor-mons was never written by a gentile than this well-written 32-page pamphlet. E. D. Kent, one of the successful horse racers and trainers, of Mont-pelier, Mont-pelier, was in Brigham Thursday. He was driving a handsome span of colts; a bay two-year old and a black of three. They make a spanking buggy team. We have noticed that a number of our exchange friends, none ot whom are too jealous to show up a good thing in a neighboring city, copied our article with reference to the 18.000 quarts of berries shipped ship-ped out of Brigham in three days. A. Baird was seen walking up the street Monday looking unusually unus-ually moody. "What's the matter now?" inquired a Bugler reporter. 'Why, I can't find an unemployed laborer in the City." "I'm glad of it," was our unfeeling scribe's chilly but thoughtful rejoinder. L. C. Christensen, the watch and music dealer, was arrested Wednesday Wednes-day by Deputy Marshal McClellan. charged with unlawful cohabitation. He was taken before commissioner Schaeffer and bound over. Chas. j Kelly and T. H. Blackburn are his was not found. Last week our Call's Fort stockmen stock-men took another large drove of beeves to the Salt Lake markets. The lot fetched a good round figure. These cattle were purchased from Malad. Star Valley and our county. The Capital purchasers acknowledged acknow-ledged some of them were the finest specimens ever sold in the Salt Lake market. Wm. W. Sheffield, formerly of this City, but now a prosperous resident of Kaysville, and Miss Nora Hudson, of the same place, were married at Logan Wednes day. Along with his scares oi" friends in th is vicinity, we extend Will and his newly found bride, the sincere hand of congratulation. The Bugler's tasty and unique Fourth of July flag dodgers caused quiie a sensation when they were scattered through the town. Nothing had ever before been seen like them in Brigham City and we might safely say in Northern Utah. Nearly' 1500 ot these flag programs were distributed. distrib-uted. A secluded place should be provided pro-vided near the City where the boys, especially, could bathe without ' making themselves a nuisance by improper exposures. Boys must go swimming a manly sport in the summer; and in order that they can do so they should have a convenient, con-venient, yet covered resort; so shallow shal-low as not to be dangerous, yet deep enough to make it interesting. interest-ing. We acknowledge, with thanks, the receipt of a letter' from W. II. Harvey, chairman of committee of arrangements, requesting our presence pre-sence at the Republican convention and the mass meeting to be held in Ogden July 10th. and 11th. Prominent speakers of national reuutation will sneak on both da vs. lhe other clay Messrs. lierg, Ambrose. Christensen and Jensen journeyed up to Paradise Creek.
