The boys concentrating ia Bullionville
are doing very well. some ten tons being
ready for shipment.
We learn that Miss Courtney. OF Clover
Valley. repudiates thu rumor OF her ap.
preaching marriage to Piocher.
George Edwards and Miss Rice, Of
Spring Valley. are about to launch their
boat on the seq Of matrimony. May they
prosper.
Anthony Mcslahon will undoubtedly
"turn up his toes in Bullionville, il
his friends don't induce him to leave for
some other section.
Brother Sherwood came down during
the week to quell the turbulent spirits Of
our young desperadoes, who were thirst
ing for the blood of the John Wedge
family.
The old folks are becoming more lib
eral in their views, inasmuch as they
now invite some of the ungodly to our
Church dances, which fact pleases us
girls immensely.
Captain Cardin had an offer Of $500 for
his stallion from Mr.. Devine Of Utah.
The Captain will not take less than $500
for the animal, and we are glad, for the
horse is at this girls disposal whenever
she feels like taking ride.
Fred c. Godbe had a narrow escape last
week, while out for a ride. His horse

came entangled in the stirrup, and he
was dragged a considerable distance.
He, however. escaped with few bruises.
The party of pleasure seekers that Wis.
ted Clover Valley during the week, re-
turned Thursday evening well pleased
with their visit. They speak in glowing
terms of the hospitality Of the Cloverites
and pronounce it the boss place to have
jolly good time.
Our young folks, and old ones for that
matter, have been enjoying themselves
during the week. The boys gave dance
in the Social Hall Christmas Eve, that
was followed up by one in the Church
Christmas night. The Church dance.
however, was rather tame, the jolliest Of
the young folks having departed that
morning for Clover Valley.
We think that our young men, when
they get on the rampage, ought, for the
!. sake of decency, if nothing else, hunt uI
some worthier opponents to vent theii
spleen on than old man Wedge and his
, wife. By continually attacking those
, defenceless people their friends will think
after while that their bravado is simply
the purest essence of .cowardice.
