The article in last Sundays HERALD
under the misleading head of g Farming ton
Facts" contained a reference to Rays
vile, which is not altogether in keeping
with its purported veracity, and the writer,
! ". t." has got himself into very unen-
vlaole dilemma His own townsfolk repu-
date his statements and the motives
prompting them, as evidenced by the card
in Fridays HERALD, signed by j. NJ
Secrlst and James 7. Smith. The laugh is
decidedly on &c. t. when the bishop and
justice OF the peace of his own town take
up the matter against him in behalf of the
people.
The first paragraph of his article would
lead person to suppose that Kaysville has
been using energetic efforts" 10 secure
the removal Of the county seat to this
place, but such is not the case. Our citi-
zens, so far as we can learn, have never
asked for it. They believe that Kaysville
Is the future county seat, and they are con-
tent to wait. In a sickly attempt at sar-
casm the writer says that our new and
costly city hall is situated outside and
north OF the main portion of the city" We
wish to say for the writer's information
That our city hall is considerably less than
half mile from the main business houses,
and that over two-tifths OF the city's pOpu
latlon reside north of the building We
make this statement merely to correct an
error due we feel sure to the writer's
ignorance OF the facts, and not to any vii
ful misrepresentation of the case.
Tine chronicler OF the alleged "facts"
admits that bounteous nature endowed
haysVllle with more natural facilities for
prosperous city than was allotted to
Pennington, but be cites the fact that their
sidewalks are wider than ours as proof of
the intellectual superiority of their citi-
zens. He doubtless mentioned this for
want Of something else to say, but It'll
such time as they can have their sidewalks
reserved for their proper use, instead of
making them, in connection with their
streets, pasture for stock in the summer,
and a background during the winter
months, he had better take friends ad-
vice and drop the sidewalk question.
w. S. A. MEETING.
The regular monthly meeting of the
local Woman's Suffrage association was
held at the Relief society hall on Thursday
evening last. Instructive addresses were
made by some of our local ladies and gen
tlemen, in behalf of the woman's suffrage
movement. The meeting was quite inter
esting and was well attended
NOTES ON THE SIDE.
Mr.. Seth Jones has taken charge of the
intermediate department of the Eighth
district school, in place of Miss Celia Ray
mond, resigned.
The cold weather still continues.
The Little Clipper, the paper which is is
sued monthly at Bountiful, was inflicted
on longsufering public again this week.
The photography is as bad as ever
A well-attended meeting of the Social
and Literary society was held at the Acad-
envy building last evening, and short,
spicy programme was rendered. Notice
was given that the question, 'tResolved
That the present system of protective
tariff is a benefit to the United States"
would be discussed before the society, be-
tween Edward Whitesides and J. H. Lin
ford, jr., on Friday evening, February 5.
The Democratic caucus for the purpose
Of nominating a municipal ticket, to be
voted for on February l, will be held at the
city hall this evening at Z o'clock. The
Democrats will, of course, place men in
nomination who are best qualified for the
respective positions, and who will receive
the support of large majority OF our citi-
zens. 1t is not probable that any other
ticket will be in the field.
The district school in the northwestern
part of town has been closed on account Of
the prevalence of diphtheria in that quar-
ter. Several cases of a serious nature are
reported, and one death-that of daugh-
ter of Andrew Egbert-has occurred re-
Gently. Four other members of Mr. Egg
gert's family are down with the dread dis
ease, but yesterday afternoon they were
somewhat better. Two children of Charles
a. Layton are also afflicted, and it is feared
that one of them will not recover. The
two families are Qusrantined, and every
thing possible to prevent the spread of the
disease is being done. M.
