Temple.
IT does not require much of prophet
to predict that HE HERALD reports of
the Conference aud dedication services
will beat tbs reports OF any other paper
in the country.
THE good people of Manti were sorely
the immense number of people who
came to take part in the dedication ser
vices on Monday.
Two overflow meetings were held on
Sunday afternoon. At one, James
October Is, 1880, and is, to-day, the
Oldest member in the church.
THE present is certainly a "red letter
day" in the history of Sanpste and the
surrounding Co mites. The dedication
of the Manu Temple was something
the inhabitants thereof will never for
get.
THE stores in Manti have been doing
land Office business for the last four
or FIVE days. After the dedication
services are over there will be dull
mss in Manti that will be positively
painful.
II is generally thought that the SER
vices will be Continued over tomorrow
and Thureday. The authorities are
very anxious that all should have an
opportunity OF participating in the Ger
emonies.
THE Bench House" is fast becom-
ing popular place of resort in Manti.
Mir. Bench has recently built very fine
house, and when the Temple is in full
| working order, it will constantly be well
| patrOniZed.
OIL what a jam at the Conference
meetings, on Sunday. The overflow
meetings, however. helped matters a
little. The order maintained, neverlhe-
less in the midst of all the crush was
tery creditable to the people.
TRs Temple seen from almost any
point, Il. Certainly grand and Simpos-
ing in ard of itself, but the stone ter
races as tney now stapd detract from
the beauty of the building. Too much
of the "dry dyke" appearance.
SPEAKING of "outsids. work." there
seems disposition on the psrt of many
of the residents of Manti to bit up
house and leave it half-fnished. The
almost every part of the city.
The Manti Brass Band has done con-
siderable towards the enjoyment of this
memorable occasion. The members
discourse excellent music on Main and
other streets every evening. They play
fairly well and ought'to be encouraged.
The new Tabernacle is supposed to
seat about 800 persons. On Sunday
afternoon, however, there were CON
siderably over 1000 persons squeezed
into the building, Notwithstanding
there were two overflow meetings going
on at the same time.
SHORTLY after the dedication services
yesterday scores of teams lett the city,
en- route for home in the different parts
Of the valley. The stores and streets,
this morning, therefore, have not the
busy appearance they have shown for
the past four or five days.
WooLLBY, LUND & JUDD have opened
branch of their business at Manh,
with Mr.. Joseph Judd in charge. They
are now laying in stock of farm and
other implements. They also have
some fine samples of champion
machines on hand at this point.
The Manti choir. under the able
leadership of Professor A. G. Smythe.
rendered some very fine pieces of
music during Conference. The pro-
lessor ought 10 feel proud OF his choir.
Furthermore, he ought to be literally
encouraged by the Stake authorities.
JUDGING from the SIZE of the herd.
every family in this city must possess a
cow. They are. however, a rather
shaggy lot. Buyers would hardly be
wiling to take them in at present. The
people admit this themselves, and
promise to grade" them up AS soon as
possible,
THOSE who have visited Manti for
many years seem to have the impress
sion that the city is not improving as
fast as it ought to do. This may be true
to a certain extent, but on the whole,
considering what the people have had
to contend with, the city is on the up
ward move.
THE HERALD correspondent had his
own buggy awaiting him on his arrival
al Chester, on Friday. He was &C
companied by Mr.. John IRVINE, of Salt
Lake City. This buggy headed every
thing into Manti by fully fifteen
minutes. These gentlemen never take
dust. Selah.
A LARGE bundle of HEeALDs, by
a special messenger, arrived in Manti,
on Sunday evening. The demand for
them was as voracious as the appetite
of the alligator belonging to the editor
of this journal. THE HERALD is thor
ough-bred from its canYasing equine
down to it's editor.
AMONG the many visitors from Salt
Lake City to Mani, at the present
time, is james Dryer. Esq. He is out
for day or two relaxation from bust
ness, and is certainly enjoying himself
with the heartiness OF young boy, and
the appetite of an ostrich. Mr.. Bench
knows tais, and -
The City Council have under copsid-
Grafton the feasibility Of attempting to
sink a well-an artesian wcll-in close
proximity to the town. 1t is thought
| they ought to strike water at depth of
at least 900 feet. There is some talk
OF Immediately trying to negotiate for
machinery to commence operations.
