Show 40 YEARS AGO ... From the Files 1 ABRAHAM j The poles are nearly all up for our telephone system. Messrs. Herbert Her-bert Taylor and J. A. Johnson have the contract. The prospects here are for a poor hay crop. The weather has been so cold that the hay is stunted and grain crops are at a standstill. A committee was selected Sunday Sun-day to arrainge a suitable program tor Temperance Day Sunday, June 25th. The committee comprises of Mr. W. S. Taylor, Mrs. giehler and Mrs. Hallie Young. MARRIED The editor (Norman B. Dresser) received a pleasant call last week from Mr. and Mrs. George Billings. We were quite surprised, and this may be the first intimation to some of George's friends that he has taken unto himself a wife. The lady who has consented to share George's troubles and double dou-ble his joys is Miss Mae Workman of Burtner. They were niarried at the Salt Lake temple on June 7. We expect to see a marked improvement im-provement in our correspondant of Hinckley, as our representative will now have an able assistant. Some o our other bachelor correspondents correspon-dents (W. R. Walker, Oak City, Alma Harder, Leamington) should follow George's example. BURTNER The new concrete spillway has been completed and it certainly is a dandy. They are making the fills and are preparing to turn the water over it. It was completed last Thursday. John E. Steele made a business trip to Salt Lake City this week. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Hilton of Hinckley is here painting Ray Bishop's Bis-hop's house. Word has just been received that the temporary spillway at the big cut built about the 20th of April has washed out. They had the fills nearly made to turn the water over the new spillway, but the water got the start o'f them and washed out the old one. It will delay the work for about three or four days. If the old spillway had held twenty-four hours longer they would have had men and teams tearing it out. OAK CITY People are coming from all over the country to attend the Golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B. Talbot. A big time is expected. John E. Lovell is expecting ex-Gov. ex-Gov. H. J. Wells and Dr. Condon to spend a day- fishing the coming com-ing week. SNAKE VALLEY We regret the necessity of writing writ-ing of the death of Ray Heckle-thorn Heckle-thorn at Castle Dale, Utah, where he was hurt by a horse, dying a few days later. The body was brought home by his brother Will and D. E. Leavitt. He was laid to rest in the Garrison cemetery. The young man had not been home for some time, having gone with Dee Leavitt to Castle Dale to take horses about two years ago. Very dry and quite cold is the weather report here. Thomas Dearden has bone to j Fillmore on business. |
