Mrs. C. Browns residence was the
scene of a gay wedding on Thursday eve
ming. Miss Maggie Brown and Hugh
Mccall. of Salt Lake city, were the con-
tracing parties A large. crowd of
invited guests assembled and partook of
a, bounteous repast. Several valuable and
useful presents were made the new cou-
ple.-Manti Messenger.
It would be much better for people to
wait and see the evidence produced in
court as to the correctness of the count
by the commission before passing judg-
ment. We do not believe any Democrat
wants to see anything but a square deal
and if there are any election frauds to
unearth we want to see them unearthed.
Let the blame go where it belongs, and
the voice of the people be sustained. 1t
Is foolish to cry steal because the other
fellow wins. Too many people are giving
their opinions as facts just now, and 1t is
not confined to any class or party either.
