On SUNDAY morning we bid goodbye
70 the ties i'll the city and cut loose for
spin OF rest and recreation in the
north country. our objective point being
Nalad Valley. On the Utah Central
tram we a number of passengers
bound for KaysSille, where the Davis
County ctake Conference was being
held. Among the number was Apostle

for some thirty days out in the Sweet
water country, making a determined
drive Oh his promising properly. the

getting back the capital and labor b =

will win it for him, he'll get there.
George A. Meears was also on the

and persevered with.
1t was said that several deputies paid
this staid old place a visit Oh Sunday

Edmunds law must be observed, and
that settles it.
We counted the ties between Three
Mile Creek and this place, for exercise.
and enjoyed the walk. Brigham, while
il has improved in the matter of build

has not the app 4arance of busting

as regards work for tradesmen and
business at the stores. Several good,
substantial residences and stores grace
different parts of the city. The people
are very much occupied with their fruit

girls may be seen at almost every lot

lers would remark. Peachts of the |
most luscious varieties, in clusters like |
grapes, weighing the branches to the !
ground, are so numerous and plentiful |
that it is with difficulty one can move |
among the trees bearing them. Here |
and there there are apple, pear and I'M |
trees of the choicest kinds, while be

plants, currant bushes, gooSeberry |

we are told. The cheese fac DRY ON the
dairy near Collinston has b eli shut !
down since August, in consequence of
the drought which dried the grass and /
reduced the milk yield, aRd the COWS
have been returned to their owners.
The fine wcolen mills eF9 are next to
idle, only one mana Mr.. Buckley
being employed at carding, doing
little weaving. This is unfortunate for
Brigham's population, as this institu-
ton might furnish employment for
quite a number. The Co operative
Mercantile Institution is not doing the
business 1t did in former years, when
Bill" Horsley superintendent it. One
reason Tor this, We suppose, is because
of the branching out of individuals and
the opening of individual stores, of
which there are q dozen or more in
various parts of the city, and several on
{ road TO the settlements north and
south.
