is permanently located here where his
old patrons will always find him.
DR.. J. S. Coleman and wife were in
town few days since; he reports great
success in his ministerial labors during
the past six months.
Messrs. Orr, Bro. g. Co, have been
almost too busy to eat Tor the past ten
days. Between twenty and thirty loads
of leaf tobacco were unloaded here las t
Tuesday. Some parties weighed their to-
bacco before they left home and were
much gratified that it weighed more on
the scales here than on their own. Most
all the tobacco in the county IS being
brought here
John Poyner, esq, has become tired Of
city life, and located q couple of
miles from town. lie says he loves
country life and can bring eggs and but

Mr.. Warren S. Pate was in town last
week selling clothing.

Mr.. John Austin, who onced lived here
but is now at his fathers, is somewhat
improving from the severe sickness he
has been afflicted with for months
Mr.. Oscar Stevens and wife, Of Crom-

We are all glad to know that Capt.

be the choice of the senatorial district

returned last week from the east, with the

Mr.. /. p. Barnard has moved to his
larger store room and has hardly enough

If the people desire purchasing the
latest style of goods at low figures they
had better come to Beaver Dam.
Goods at this time, are heing offered
lower than ever before, and if you DO not
secure bargains it will only be your fault

JUDGE FOREMAN, of the Second dis
trict court of Utah, has sentenced
John ID. Lee, the leader of the Noun
tain Meadow massacre, twenty years
ago, to be shot on the 23d inst. Lee is
now in Jail at Beaver. He was sen-
fenced to be shot in January, but the
shooting did not come off. His guilt
has been satisfactorily proven, and a
number of his Mormon coadjutors in
the massacre should, in justice, suffer
with him. In Utah man can select
whichever mode of execution he de-
sires.

We do not want to be understood as
giving sanction in any manner, shape
or form, to the great fraud by which
Hayes and Wheeler were counted in
snl indicted into office. Weexpect to
call the transaction by its right name
inplain English-"fraud" "theft" evil
laIny;;' but, as they are in office, while
they are acting and filling the places
all good and worthy acts should be APP
proved. Mr.. Hayes inaugural adj

suggestions worthy of endorsement.
His selection of cabinet is much bet
ter than any Mr.. Grant ever made.
His Southern policy as forcshadowod,
if carried out, will restore peace and
harmony and good government in the
three remaining States that have not
vet nlt51dad the effects of Carpet-bag-
ism and Grants military control. For
all these things President Hayes de-
serves the hearty commentator of
all good men everywhere.
