NEWS OF OUR NEIGHBORS Gathered by the Editor in His Weekly Rounds HiockUy is not so kWw, even if the editor did give them ft mild roasting a few weeks ago. When the editor was over there this week he noted that flumes had been built across Main street In several places, and the street to the Academy greatly improved. "You must remember we have only a Mighty small amount of taxes to go on, and we can't do much," said President Presi-dent Stout of the town board to the editor. ;We will have a larger fund for the now board to use, and then JuH see Hinckley improve." ,The new board was nominated at the primaries a couple of weeks ago, which was very poorly attended. There Is only one ticket in the field aud the nominees are: Joseph Illake, president; Joseph Nieison, N. It. Had ger, H. K. Robinson and Chas. Hurk. T. George Tkisiliold, the builder, also called out attention to some of the new buildings he has been putting up for the people of Hinckley. Mrs. Margaret Mar-garet Krieksoti, formerly of New house, is having a two story brick hotel and rooming house put up on the street liith of the Academy. It will have top rooms. fl'wo neat brick cottage have Just b.n completed for Wm. H. Bishop and Paler Anderson, and J. K. SpemilovcV new frame house on Center street is nearly completed. Another residence to be erected Is for George Terry, west of town.

"And if our streets and yards don't look better than they do In Delta, I'm no Judge." "Well, they are going to appoint a eek for g meral cleaning up and Improving," Im-proving," aald the editor, "and If the citizens don't pay any attention to It the Chronicle ts going to roast them to a nice brown finish." This seemed to molify the Indignant citizen. "Hut we have got to have our streets sprinkled next summer," said Tom Pratt, "if we can make It, and I believe be-lieve that between the Commercial Club and the town we can raise the money to do It." y We believe that after one week of sprinkling everybody would bo willing to put up money to keep It going.

Harrington, the sheet metal worker, has Just moved over from Fillmore and has taken the right method of getting business by putting an ad in the Chronicle. We notice that Joseph Nelson has got a sign "Hotel Hinkley" on his large new brick house. He also has hung out his sign In the Chronicle Uy the way, should It be "Hinckley" or "Hinkley?" We see It spelled both ways In many cases, but until instructed in-structed otherwise the Chronicle will spell it Hinckley.

G. W. Cropper, west of Hinckley, has Just sold his lurern seed and got 12.000 for It. No wonder so many Millard county farmers have fat bank accounts and that the Oasis bank has such heavy deposits.
