rooms suitable for offices, on Main street,
are for rent.

| he is a man that understands his business.
A negro quartette did some singing, dane

fruit and melons shipped by the carload
| to satisfy the Buttonians. John says bust
ness is lively in the north, but he don't like
the smoky atmosphere up there; it is moth
ing like our pure mountain air.
Quite a number of the excursionists from
the metropolis stopped in Brigham, so the
town is full of strangers enjoying our
pleasant but quiet city, visiting relatives
o,I fY.ia11dc onH aannnlinO the f1s1it for
which our city is so noted. A number have
gone to the mountains, where the air is
cool and game is abundant. Yes, even
bears and savages are there.
A person was seen this morning opposite
| the postofice looking very attentively into
the water ditch, then he took a board
placed it across the ditch, causing the wa
ter to flow into the lot opposite, instead of
running down the street; then he placed
his hands upon his knees. watching the eff
| feet, as though he had never seen such
great waterworks. The water master, who
had been looking at him for some time,
| thought the fellow must be green, went to
speak to him, and found tnat he was
black When asked what he was doing, he
said he wanted to see where the water
would go when ne put the board in.
A few nights ago the quietness of the
place was disturbed by the barking of a
dog and the yelling of human being. Ar
irving at the scene of the excitement, it
was found to be COW disturbing the sleep
of jim, the tailor, in Stratford's shop. The
dog was barking at the cow and the COW
was breaking the gate and window lights
of the tailor shop. The smashing of the
lights of the tailor shop almost frightened
Jim to death. He thought it was another
burglar after more watches.
The Second warders are now talking
business, and don't believe in being behind
the other wards any longer. They will
commence to build meeting house. They
must have read the Brigham news in The
HERALD, and viii prove that meeting
house can be built in the Second ward be
fore the dynamite bomb blows up the Old
shell now in use.
That is right; better late than never:
You can do it. Put up something that Will
be a credit to the ward. Success to the
enterprise.
