Kaysville-News Notes.

ClOse OF the NelgnD0rly Controversy with
kaysville-News Notes.
To the Editor of THE HERALD.
May intrude on your space to discuss
country correspondence a little? Like
everything else it can easily be run past a
reasonable limit. A little friendly rivalry,
or discussion, on the merits or dement's of
existing circumstances and conditions will.
if conducted in reasonable manner, do no
harm; but, that such things do sometimes
pass the limit of reasonable consistency is
one more proof, if any is lacking, that per-
lection is not yet quite attained by weak
mortals.
In regard to THE HERALD correspondence
between your Kaysville cores pondent and
myself, l am sorry that he has lost his
head, so to speak, and got mad, as evil
denced by his uneouth remarks in yester-
days HERALD in reply to my letter in The
HERALD of February
He says my article occupied "a column
and half" The truth is it was not a
whole column and a considerable portion of
1t was devoted to news and other items.
The portion referring to kaysville was as
then explained merely to Offset some Of the
slurs that quoted from his letter in The
HERALD during the past year or more.
1t so overwhelmed him that it no doubt
appeared in his sight to be several times
its actual length, and fully convinced MIN
that 1t was to him IAN Improbable contro-
versy." He wrongfully accuses me when
he says l intend 1.-THE belittling of Kays-
vile and her enterprises before the pub
llc;" and he grossly misrepresents me
when he intimates that items | send to THE
HERALD are untrue by saying that 1--WE
have plenty of facts to prove the Incorrect
ness of considerable part of what he said
last Sunday" This in face of the fact
that the Sunday letter referred to stated
that / would enclose the names of parties
furnishing the proof of what l wrote. Sew
eral of them are, and then WERE Kaysville
officials. If it were not for the fact that
he has misrepl esented me / would not
have considered it necessary to answer his
letter, but would have done as a news
paper correspondent once said ''the humor-
ist did when the mule kicked him. etc. I
very much respect the citizens of Ksys-
vile; and, if their newspaper representa-
tive gets the worst of little tit-for-tat
game that ne started himself, hope they
will not too severely blame me for it.
NOTES.
An adjourned town meeting convenes
here tonight to hear reports from the com
mittees appointed te canvass the town to
see If the necessary NUMBER of one hundred
voters have signed the petition or papers in
favor of city charter.
1t has been foggy early in the morning
and till about 10 a. m. for nearly three
weeks past. The snow is slowly melting.
but it is good sleighing and has been SO
since about last December 20.
Six inches more has fallen since the 9th
inst, making sixty-one inches since De-
cember II.
Some barn roofs have partially given way
under the weight OF snow, and this seems
the only way some of our farmers can tell
when to shovel the snow off the roofs. It
is sometimes dangerous work though, and
If care is not taken serious accidents will
occur. CT.
