Show home made trick, wnich by the way, is of a very superior quality, but there are tome of adobe and few frame structures. The residence resi-dence of Arthur Parsons is the best and tr.ott conveniently arranged dwelling in thecounty. The foundation foun-dation is of oolite stone and the walls of selt cted brick. It isiur-nifhed isiur-nifhed throughout in the latest style and for comfort and convenience conveni-ence cannot be surpassed. Tut tie & Son's business block is the best in the county. It is of the best brick with iron and stone front tnd two stores high. The ground floor is divided into three large store rooms all of which are taken. The upper floor will be used as a dance and theatre hall and js the largest of i s kind in central Utah. In addition ad-dition to the "ouilaing mentioned there are dozens of residences, and space will not permit, or we would take great pleasure in describing We ..we n apology to someof oui read, rs for '.he paper o a which a portion- of this is-ue is printed We ordered a su;.ply of paper "srv. ral wefka ago but it did not arrive ar-rive i liuif for t lis issue and hence the tie-jessity of using a poorer grade oi paper. We hope 'our readers will deal kaniently with us in our nnsfoitune and we pTomise you it will not occur again. The young ladies who were appointed ap-pointed a special committee to-so-licit funds to defray the expenses of. the. Columbus., day celebration have Reclined to act. They claim, -and we' think justly so. that ' it was "unfair to appoint them as such committee, com-mittee, because - it is -a rather unpleasant un-pleasant lafk to ask for money, even though the canse be ever so worthy. T-he yoiing ladies were not present at Hie1 meeting at which the appointment ap-pointment was made and think they should-.have been consulted in the matter, or at least gheu a chance to decline in time to.have others appointed. ap-pointed. There will be no funds to defray the expenses of the celebra tion and this means that the com mittee will have to dig down in their jeans an4 produce sufficient of the filthy Iq pay all bills, and we suggest sug-gest that the person who' proposed to appoint the ysung ladies of the general committee, as a soliciting committee, be assessed at the rate of vo to one. In our. first number it was announced an-nounced that wj would issue every Saturday; but experience has taught' Us that it is an unprofitable day and when we are a few hours late in going to pre.s it forces us to laoor on the Sabbath in order to all of them. However we will do it at a later date, The people here think nothing of this. They think that it is but natural that their city should be in 'a prosperous and flourishing condition.; In spite of this magnificent showing we should not be content, We should do something- in the liue of public buildings. Notwithstanding the good words we have spoken for our fellow citizens, the monied men of our city with one or two exceptions excep-tions . fre close-fisted and will squeeze a dollar till the : eagle squeal'. They are on the' lookout for number one and do' not care what the condition of the city may be, so long as their interests are directly affected, and while thousands thou-sands have been spent in private buildings, nothing has been done in the way of public enterprise. Some person or persons should invest a little cash in a factory of some sort. Where may me ask is a better bet-ter location for woolen mills than in Manti, the very centre of the wool industry of Utah. Friends, catch the mail, and therefore we have deciued to change the day of issue, from Saturday to Thursday, Tbia number should hae appeared yesterday evening, but we were waiting for paper that never came, and as a result are a little late. Hereafter the paper will be in the post office Thursday evening.' The world is fuli of changes, . some persons makiog a change do it for the better others for the worse. The wane up. Do something ! Show the people of ather places that you are enterprising and that you mean to keep your city what it now is: the metropolis of central Utah. Some men can tell a falsehood to elaborately that they are believed to be telling tbe truth jand some men tell the truth in such an awkward manner that they are suspected of telling a false-ftood false-ftood Corinoe C!Iope. May we inquire to which class yon bekng? CKange oil our part is lor me uei.i.ei, and does not end ia merely changing chang-ing the day of issue but there will be other changes. We will employ more help in the future and thus give the . reporter more time in which to hustle news. We intend to commence now and improve our rag with each issue, and continue to improve' untit'we have the best country paper in existence, and if circumstances will justify it, will issue a daily and hope that our ef-ferts ef-ferts to improve our paper will meet with appreciation by tht-grner. tht-grner. l public. We believe as we h;ive said be'ore that M-anii is a future great city, and as long sa the peop'e wiH have u, we intend to remain, re-main, and w rk for the best 'interest of our beaut ful city the metrupo-ha metrupo-ha of central Utah . . ....... j Since loTptrug Ma iti we may have written cfcome strange and tunny things; but .no one can accuse ac-cuse of blowing -about our city and its natural advantages as a great business center, or of "booming" our city, hence we .believe . that what we now say will be taken for what it is the truth. The people of Mauti are, that is the majority of them, quiet and unassuming. They never mke any great blows about what they are going to do, but when their mind is once made up to do anything they go quietly to worK and do it. . They never blow through the paper about anything. any-thing. The nevr talk about starting start-ing 6ome enterprise two or three years before they actually begin They will say one day that thev are going to do something and the next day you will find them doing it. They make up their minds to build a hou-e and the next day they ore working on the foundation. founda-tion. This is true in nearly all instances in-stances and although there has b?en more money and labor expended in the ereciion of bui dings in this city than in any other city south of Salt Lake, with the exception probably, pro-bably, of Provo, no great fuss has been made about it. There is not a block in nur city that is uot ornamented orna-mented with one or more new residents resi-dents all of which have been erected during the past sum. tier, Moet ol iheee ntw rtsidei.cts are built "of |
