THE people of Willard justly feel
proud OF the tabernacle which they
have been erecting during the past sea-

be suspended dur ng the winter. When
completed it will surpass anything of

The Snow-Houtz Dramatic Company

. CLARKE HUBBARD, who for number
of years has had charge of our district
school, and who is also county superin-

been absent for a fortnight visiting the
different schools throughout the
county. He reports considerable in

has been ably conducted by his assis-

WILLARD raises a vast amount of
fruit, vegetables, etc., but on account of
there being no station, here on the rail-
roads we do not have the facilities for
shipping that we should have. The
officials of the q. & n. have promised
repeatedly to give US the accommo-
dations we are entitled to, Oh

here, but as yet we have nothing but
promises. The superintendent of the
Southern Pacific having visited US, and
seeing We had thriving town, and
were on the eve of prosperity, is ar
ranging to establish an office here early
in the spring. Our business men ex-

MANTI. December s, 1888.

THE breath of chronic catarrh pa
tent IS often so offensive that he be-
comes an object of disgust. After a
time liberation sets, the spongy bones
are attacked, and frequently entirely
destroyed. a constant source of dis
comfort is the dripping of the purulent
secretions iglo The throat, sometimes
producing inveterate bronchitis, which
in its turn has been the exciting cause
of pulmonary disease. The brilliant
results which have attended its use for
years past properly designate Ely's
Bream Balm as by far the best and only
cure.
