Show Correspondence. . ; j Editor Record.--Ifaving re- turned home to Parowan, after) having been located in Cedar' City a little over three years, I!; find a number of changes here as well as a number or improve-. merits, many of which arc quite , commendable. The old-time fence around the I church with its wooden pins in place of nails has been replaced by a handsome up-to-date one, nicely painted. The meeting house, however, stands in status-quo, status-quo, that is, nothing in the way of paint or repairs. They were talking of pulling it down some months ago, when I happened to be here, and building a bigger house. I asked them then what they would do with a bigger house as very few are in the habit of attending. "As with the priest, so with the people." Last week's Record noted ninety nine-ty peoplo at conference. Just so but then, 'tho pool hall is well attended, well painted, well lighted, light-ed, etc. The greatest rainfall for any ode month since 1801 was 3.80 inches in September 11)05, but this fell on the fore and latter part of tho month, so that the greatest rainfall in any one Btorm was on the 20th and 30th of last month, when the measurement measure-ment was 8.31 inches in Parowan, Paro-wan, but Cedar City is determined determ-ined to keep to the front, as I see that my honorable colleague, Mr. Dalley reports 3.37. I miss the excellent water of Cedar City after drinking it for some months past. The water here has been very indifferent for some time past. I used to think it was tho best in the state but not now, j I miss getting my mail in good) tbflo-ifth flvfining. too. .jjsjU gets hore late at night I don't hear tho town clock strike any more, etc., but then, many of my old neighbors have assured mo that they are glad to see mo back. They didn't say, "You're back," and so I'm thankful. ALEX MATITESON. ' |
