Show THE NEWS FROM FILLMORE fc&Ec Affairs and Local Happenisji il tb Comity Seal Frank E. HanHon, after about a year's absence, haa returned home. The Home and School league held its first meeting Inst Friday. The subject sub-ject of manual training and recreation recrea-tion were dlncused. A committee consisting of John Carting, Frank Hoi-brook, Hoi-brook, Alonzo Huntsman, liobert King, and Daniel Stevens, waa appointed to devise waya aid means of providing suitable play grounds for the young people. It Is, of course, desirable to provide good plates to play, not for the reaaon In Fillmore, however, because be-cause our boys and girls are burdened burden-ed with work. The theory la th la. perhaps: per-haps: If the youth must loaf, let ua make their loafing place aa profitable and aa little hurtful a possible. The Ideal situation In the opinion of the writer, Is one In which our boys spend more of their time at work than la spent at present. Ted Davis and hit wife have juat returned from a visit to Mr. Marlnua Ufa u regard of Gunnison, and to their daughter, Mrs. Hadle Anderson, of Sterling. Dr. Steven has bought the Ted Da-via' Da-via' dry farm for $2400. The high school la falling off considerably con-siderably In numbers. Only thirty-one were present at assembly last Saturday.

Alfred Koblxon and Frank Kobl-aon Kobl-aon recently returned from a month's trip through aotithern Utah.

Already they are , offered for the cattle to be delivered on the same date as they are to receive re-ceive them, a price which would net them a little better than ten dollars I a "head, or ft total profit of $38,000. Pretty good for one month' -work. County Clerk Anhley haa presented a bill to the city council of Fillmore for nearly $,.o0. thi amount being a fee for collecting t!ie city taxea during dur-ing the past several years. Through some neglect the bill has not Wen pre- I sen ted fortteveral year. The county attorney Is somewhat In doubt as to whether the city can be made to pay ' the fee for any year except the past one. If the fee cannot be collected, aa a reault of the neglect to present It within a year, the people of Fillmore are ahead and the county la behind " a4 a result. The city la hardly pre- i pared to meet this unexpected drain on tbelr very low exchequer. |
