In the morning the people gathered at the hall, where an interesting program was listened listen-ed to. After the program sports weer indulged in. Jack Sly won the potato race. Floyd Hickman won the quarter mile race. Hyrum Knight's donkey won the slow race. In the evening a dance was given giv-en in the hall which was well attended. at-tended. There were 452 people at the program, and a good many of our people were not there. We think we number about 500 people. LEAMINGTON On June 30 a baby boy came to the home of Bishop R. W. Asbby, the young man was made welcome and is doing fine. The other night while Brother Overso.n was hitching his horse to the new buggy, the dog was chasing the cat. The cat climbed onto the horse and the horse tried to climb a tree. Brother Overson was all the next day gathering up his harness and buggy, but was seen out driving with the same outfit today. Dances, automobiles and traveling travel-ing met are too coming a thing to mention. OAK CITY The Fourth passed off very quietly. A very good meeting was held in the shade of the Oak City park. The Brown Arm fellows won the ! ball game easy from the Whites. The big time ended with a dance at night. DESERET Mrs. George W. Cropper, Jr., presented pre-sented her husband with twin babies, bab-ies, a boy and a girl. Mr. Cropper appreciates the gift and says they are welcome, and that they will do their best to take care of them. Mother and babies are doing well. Dr. Damron was in attendance. A number of our people are experimenting ex-perimenting in raising beets, and while some have been unfortunate unfortun-ate in getting their plants up owing ow-ing to bad seed or cold weather, others are successful, and it is our opinion that some are as good crops as in any place in the state. This no doubt will become one of the leading cropts of this western west-ern part of the county, both for stock feed and sugar.
