Show Sum Vail wouldn't have the portion under four hundred dnllarK. The conn-ell conn-ell conaldered until Charlie made It known thut he didn't particularly care for the Job. but that no one Ih worth more for holding It than ho, and to save the city he would take ll for $2.".n. They couldn't go to lino under the rircuintancen, they didn't want to force the ollli'e on Charlie to his disadvantage, disad-vantage, mi they finally came back to the orlKlnul nominee of the mayor, and agreed on Proctor, probably the only man In town who really wantx the Job, and It Ih very probable that by this time he will decide not to accept. In that event, of cour.ie, Charlie would, from purely patriotic motives, we think, be Induced by niron prcsure, and the urgent desire of Ills friends to take the position "to save the city" further expense and disorder. THE NEWS FROM FILLMORE Public Affairs and Local Happenings at the County Scat lilshop Peter Itrunson resigned recently re-cently from the city council. No reason rea-son wns assigned, but as ttie old year has Just closed his time Is probably being be-ing used In accounting for the Immense Im-mense tithing receipts that flooded his ol litre during the list lew days of the old year. Ills successor will probably be Jam s Woodard. Some of the friends of this able geuilemeii are urging hi selection. As he received within four votes of being elected In the recent election, he would especially (dense the public. Mr. Eugene Colgrove, who has been sick for several weeks, Is now very low. lie may not last many days. He Is a young man of high character and amiable disposition. His wit has caused caus-ed more smiles than that of most men If they lived to ho five times as old as 'il, Gene's present age. He la unmarried, un-married, and Is living with his widowed widow-ed mother in the old Colgrove home. He Is one of our most prominent hiiHliiins men, being our stage contractor con-tractor and also being heavily Interests Inter-ests in the flourishing lumber business busi-ness of Mcllrl.le & Colgrove. The whole community Is concerned in his Illness and are hoping for his recovery. No one can quite take his place on the streets of Fillmore. He has few bud habits and many good ones not ut ull bad and yet, not too good or too religious, Just a fine, Jolly fellow, w hom everybody likes and admires. Mrs. Catherine ItaHinussen, recently re-cently married In the Salt Lake temple tem-ple to Mr. William Itasmussen, was surprised by a host of her lady friends last Friday at the home of Mrs. Delia Itohlson. The occasion was a shower of silverware. A delightful afternoon was spent In games and In eating the delicious refreshments served by Mrs, Koblson. The Jolly affair showed the high esteem with which the ladles of Fillmore regard our Katie, as we may now Justly call her. Mr. Edward Davis Jr. h.ia been appointed ap-pointed administrator of the Thomas Dearden estate. He left last Tues day for Snake Valley, where he will look after the many business Interests of the Dearden estate. A short time ago our gonial barber, Mr. Con Melville, met with a painful accident. He, with Allan Hiint.Hiiiu.il and Joe Smith, were In the shop, when Con, In a playful mood, proposed to Joe that they roll Allan or "ISlrd," ait he Is called, in ih-? snow. They got their victim between them aud started for the dor;-, but In soma unacount-ahle unacount-ahle way ihey all three went through the window Instead. "Hud" was the only one to escape unhurt. Joe was badly scratched, and Con was severely cut, being confined to his bed for several sev-eral days. I Hrlg Totnpklnson's hall Is now fitted 1 up with a good, modern stage, and ' seated with opera chairs. The scenery 1 will show four scenes, a wood, a par- lor, a business street and a kitchen. ' Good-bye, Memorable State House. Long have we risked our necks and ' tliiibs In your grim old walls. Now I we leave you with grateful hearts that, 1 notwithstanding the great, danger of 1 attending shows In your hall, no a.- 1 cldent has ever occurred. Perhaps the protecting influence of Its prophetic proph-etic builder has been with It through 1 Its changing scenes. Whatever the ' cause of our safety in using this old ' lire trap. It Is truly wonderful that 1 hundreds of children have not been tramped to death more than once. Had 1 merely an alarm been given at the ' recent school entertainment held there f It Is Impossible that fewer thai a I hundred children would have lost their 1 lives and possibly double that number would have fallen victims to the tramping feet of their elders. ' The show presented there last Saturday Sat-urday will, no doubt, be the last that ' will ever be given In this historic hall. A few people more or less, say that liquor Is still sold In Fillmore. We ' wonder how they know. If they know j why do they not romplan on those who sell It, and tell what they know 1 In the court room? If they know of a man stealing a horse, they would talk fast enough. That Is the reason so few horses are stqjen. The selling of ' liquor In Fillmore will never stop un- i til public opinion Is strongly enough behind the law that anyone who has any evidence to give will be anxious ' to give t. In short, don't complain at the law, but support It. Last summer's shortage of tuy was Just short enough to be of great bene- i f.t to the fanners of Fillmore, Meailow , and other places. It has taught them ' In a most convincing and practical way the value of straw and rye hay ! as animal food. Hereafter. It Is iufe to predict that straw stacks, will no longer be burned to get then! out of the way, for be It remembered, dry stork will fatten on straw. The Chronicle reporter approached the genial and venerable city treas- ( urer with the question, "Any news today, Albert 7" "Well, yes,' said this energetic collector of city licences and ' water taxes Then, after a pause, he ' concluded. "The young folks all think the old folks fools, but the old folks know the young folks are." Howard Small, the Studebaker man. Is having considerable difficulty lately ' In keeping out of quarrels. Three nuarrels In a few davs, and no fight speak well for Mr. Small's good na ture. One man whose profoslson Is , perhaps the farthest from flghtin was heard to remark that only th disgraceful dis-graceful publicity of being hauled Into court prevented him from giving the buggy man a good spanking. The show put on here lat Saturday Satur-day Is reported by some as "the best this year." by others, "no good at all " The mayor and city council have at last agreed upon a man for city marshal, mar-shal, who will perhaps accept the Job After a long and circuitous path they have, finally come bck to the start- I lug place, namely proctor Robison. |
