News Notes.
We have very warm weather here and it
has been very dry for a long time.
The grssshopper5 are spreading all over
in the fields, laying twin eggs and doing
considerable damage Many acres of oats
have been cut already to save the grain
from entire destruction. Next year will
see it worse unless something turns up to
destroy them. =
Our County Register is doing well | un-
derstand, and IS gaining in subscribers, but
THE SALT LAKE HERALD taxes the cake
every time and will get more subscribers
after little than ever.
Politics in Sanpete county has never
been so hot before as it is now. We are
trying to initiate Salt Lake city. The
Liberals of this county have been visiting
weeks, making gala times where they have
gone Ephrainl had their visit last
Wednesday. They made fair showing
with brass band and torches.
On Thursday night both Peoples party
men as well as Liberals made their ap-
pearance here in the interest OF the re-
moral Of the county seat from Manti to
Mount Pleasant. They came 10 eight men
strong to show that Mount Pleasant was
the centre of the county and as such was
entitled to have the registered voters of
our place cast their vote in their favor.
Messrs. W. d. Oandland, William Fabris-
kie. Sven Nelson, F'erd Erickson and C..
w. Sorensen were the speakers, and were
doing their very best, | am sure, but failed
to prove anything in favor of Mount
Pleasant
On Friday night, a brass band serenaded
IN our streets. People wondered what was
UP now again, and TO our great astonish-
nent we found out that delegates from
Manti had come TO show the people oil
Ephraim that Manti was the place to keer
the county seat, and asked for their votes
in behalf Of Manti. The speakers were
Messrs. John Lowry, William Luke anj
Andrew Petersen, who al gave some gooC
reasons for their claim. After that Mr.. d
Candland of Chester appeared upon The
secene and delivered a tfowery speech il
favor of Manti.
On Saturday night the Ephraim peopl,
met in the Academy hall to hear a repor
from their delegates who went to Noun
Pleasant in convention about the count,
seat. The delegates were Peter Greaves
ST., Rasmus Clawson, j. z. Merlstrup, G.
w Peterson, Peter Schwalbe and n. O
Anderson. The Ephraim Brass band 9TH
best in the county, was in attendance an,
did good service
All the above named persons were tn
speakers of the evening. They gave a T.
port of their labor done ia the convention
:. showed their constituents the disadvat
tages they were working under in the cor
vention in being the only city represente
from the south, and have had all the mort
Early to work against, which had cause
iuat Mount Pleasant was the place settle
upon by two-thirds of the delegates to b
the place for the county seat. the dele
gates showed the people of Ephraim ho,
they hae been abused in the convention O
account OF being in the minority, but fe
they had worked hard and done the be:
they could in favor OF our city and could c
no more. The speakers certainly went

delegates as well as some from Eairview an
NIant;, were present They did not fe'
very well in seeing some OF their castles
