Sunday evening, Sept. 90, the
church at this place held festi-
val in honor of the harvest, and,
of course, giving it a religious
application. Their motto was
What Shall the Harvest Be p
AS to the theoretical explanation
not being present, we are unable
to give any description, although
| presume it was fully usual skill
and purity; as our little church
is attracting a good deal of at
tention, and doing a great deal
of good, temporarily at least, and,
in religious point of view, is
evidently success. But to the
display. The grain, fruit and
vegetable displays were very ex-
cellent, and proved beyond a
successful denial that this soil
and climate are very productive
in these lines. The apples and
pears were of an almost surpris-
ing size and flavor. There was
a fine display of crab-apples; a
superior sample of damsel and
green gage plums; there was CON
aud popcorn of fair quality, al
though this climate is not espec-
tally adapted to that growth on
account of our cool nights. There
was different varieties of squash
and pumpkins. Then there were
potatoes, choice for any country,
and beets, turnips and parsnips
and excellent fine specimens of
cabbage. And in the grain line
were fair samples of wheat and
fine sheaves of oats, barley, flax
and alfalfa. Hops, too, ofsplen-
did growth. Then there was
fair growth of tree cranb berries
currants and fine assortment of
cut flowers. Each and all show
ing that, with proper care, this
section is a good producer of all
the more important supplies of
life. To meet and display these
blessings of the field and garden
show by speech and song our
gratitude is one the pleasantest
and holiest missions of life. No
one is worse for it and all might
be advanc d for good. Those
who are III charge of the church
should watch the results, and, if
it is well, for both young and
old, may each coming year bear
richer. sweeter and more abun-
dant fruit from the HarUest Fes-
tiUai.
We were glad to see our friend
Guy G. Barnum, up from his
ranch on Snake river. Guy had
on his celebrated campaign cloth
es, and when he puts them on he
is after something and he is load
ed for bear. 1t was the same
identical clothes-just throwed
on; the same overalls, hitched to
his galluses with rusty nail;
the same barbed wire shoe strings
and the same corduroy shirt, tied
on with the same tow string, and
the same old ventilatOr hat. 1t
was said, four years ago when
Guy was candidate, that he got
that suit of clothes by trading
with a scare crow. But under
meath Guys dilapidated ward
robe there beats a great big gen.
erous heart and under his well
ventilated hat there are brains to
spare, and we are always glad to
see him and wish him success

We are just as the tired boy
was who had his prayers written
on his foot board and every night
repeated them, but on this occas-
ion, did not feel active enough
to do so, so he waived his hand
to the sacred manuscript and re-
marked "Old fellow, / endorse
all that. Yes, we more than
endorse all that of Guy, and
could do the same of many anoth-
