MANTI MATTERS.

On Thursday party was held in the
council house, which was well attended. 1t
would add to the appearance as well as the
comfort of the orchestra if a platform could
be erected for them.
Peter Greaves, jr., superintendent of
district schools, on his visit through the
county, has reached Manti, and is engaged
paying attention to three district schools
located here.
Funk's meadow, together with house
and lot belonging to the Funk estate was
sold on Monday at public auction. The
meadow, consisting of fifty seven acres,
brought the handsome amount of 81 $50,
being purchased by James Crawford, jr.
The house and lot ran up to 1890, which
was nearly the value of the place. Mr..
Thomas n. Bleak became the owner.
Ebbe lessen sustained very severe iniu-
ries by a team running away with him.
Besides his arm being broken, he also had
one rib broken. Mr.. lessen is the proprie-
tor of the Temple boarding house. He is a
very old gentleman, and it will be some
time before he willnbe able to be out again.
In accordance with the proclamation is
sued by the governor, services were held
in the tabernacle on Thursday The South
ward brass band discoursed music while
the people were assembling. President
Maiben presided. Bishop Hans Jensen
made the opening speech, who was followed
by Mayor Luke, being succeeded by
George Scott, after whom F. r. Kenner
somewhat hvened up the assembly with
one of his humorous speeches; next fol-
lowed, A. j. Moffitt, W. S. Snow, Bishop
w. 7. Reid, S. G. Hansen and President
Maiben, who gave the closing speech, after
which the doxology was sung by the con
gregation, and the benediction being pro-
nounced ended the services
The manner with which the ecclesiastical
authorities conducted and managed the
funeral services on Tuesday, over the body
of Harry G.. Hansen also in memoriom of
VIM. J. Golding and the hearty response
by the citizens of Manti, was highly COM
mendable. Among the large body of saints
were mingled those of other sects and be-
liefs, and others who had not entered
place of worship for years, met together
on this occasion to pay their last re-
spects to one who had suffered such sad
fate Bishop William T. Reid presided,
and after the usual opening exercises,
President ]. B. Maiben delivered the open
ing address. The text was taken from the
fifteenth chapter of Pauls epistle to the:Co-
rinthians, which was given in clear and
mastery style. The principles enunciated
there being set forth in light which none
but those spiritually blind, could not see
and COMPREHEND. Bishops Hans Jensen
and w. T. Reid next followed in short ad-
dresses, which were to the point; regret
was expressed that the deed had been com
mitted in this quiet little place; the au-
taorities had talked with the man who has
perpetrated the crime, and tried to dis
suade aim from his reckless course, but no
heed was given to the counsel offered and
in consequence the faint of the crime must
always hover over Manti, because one of
her citizens chose TO follow the path that
tends to degrade man. rather than walk in
the path that leads to something high and
ennobling.
