IN advisedly that II II not behind
Thar rural districts IN cleanliness. The
ssntlernan's statements In regard TO
slnhtherlA are not correct. Tho few
c,ses they hAvo had were contracted
Sy ,ono Of the people visiting In To-
csll,le, infected with the disease
and BY strangers and friends coming
gmongst them, bringing the disease IN
NJ inclpisnt stage, but fully developed

little town where | reside; there has
never been a case OF d iphtherin. Some
Of the people feel indignant, ana won
der why Morgan should have been
spoken Of NO disparagingly In u public
meeting, not with any intont 10 inJuro
tie people, they suppose, but the effect
piodueed. has n tendency that way.
fhe people have long struggled under
very adverse circumstance, perhaps
mo 20 than those OF any other county
ia Utah, and are still lnboring to build
10 aud beautify this little valley. They
nave long raised the stock which pro.
duced The milk, and are now in earnest
a. Tegarus the honey, and they only
need Encouragement instead Of unwise
statements respecting them TO make the
valley a vcritable Gland Of milk aud
honey.D God hiss blessed them in
their labots.
The land now yields more abund.
anti; the climate has become more
temperate; the mountain streams have
increased; and they acknowledge His
hand Ia all these things, and by His
help, they viii yet raise this lovely
little valley, In the estimation OF those,
whtse lot has appare ntly been cast In
more pleasant places, and who In times
past have spoken of 1t very indifferent
" ~ only ono Of the shack valleys"
