The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1884-07-19


TO church matters, but this is not in the
least to be wondered at, for the people who
are in the habit of attending Protestant
churches, are afforded the opportunity
in Phoebe but once in year, and that
opportunity is presented to Piochers
only on the arrival of Bishop Whitaker,
when on his annual tour through the
State. On Sunday evening last the
church was filled with people, who at
tended for the purpose of listening to the
Bishop, who is very pleasant talker,
and the most Of them felt as much at
horne as cat in strange garnet. At
the opening of the services they appeared
confused. When the doxology was being
sung, the audience would rise two and
two at the time, exhibiting an expression
ON their faces that they were in doubts
as to whether they were acting properly
or not. The display Of such great lack
of knowledge as to the inside workings
of the church by SO large number Of
our residents caused profused bushes to
appear on our face 1t was Gsi dis
tinguishing those present who q been
at some future period connected W tn the
Mormons In the Church of the LITTER.
Day s lints, the ladies sit on one side of
the church, and the men on the other.
1t was remarkable the number Of men
who, on entering the church, turned their
wives adrift to hunt seats for themselves,
or would see them to seat, then 90 and
sit themselves in some other part of the
building. Those who did so must have
been connected with the Mormon Church
at one time, or else have been running
TO-. office so long, that during cleo
pioneering, while down at Panaca, would
at tendchurch there for political effect,
and the habit of sitting on the opposite
side of the church from their wives has
grown on them. This deplorable state OF
affairs existing among our people caused
cold chill to travel along our spinal column.
NJ wonder that Phoebe is visited by
earthquakes and its inhabitants routed
out of bed at an unreasonable hour. We
would suggest that Deacon Shier, for the
benefit of our residents, hold church
services every Sabbath evening after this.
ANNOUNCEMENT The Red Eagle, the
great Independent candidate, makes an

ticular attention to. It will be remem.
bered how difficult it WIS last winter to

Now, in the interest OF suffering human.
:ty, it will be seenyby the announcement,

A STREAK OF ACCIDENTs.-O late,
says the Virginia Enterprise, there have
been quite number OF small accidents
on the Comstock, 1t has always been
observed that the accidents in our mines
run in streaks, and it is hoped that we
may pass through the present streak
without the occurrence of anything very
serious. When we enter one of these
streaks it behooves our miners to use
every precaution to guard against
trouble.
