On Wednesday, Feb. II, Sarah
Downing Foster depa-te ths life.
The funeral services were held in
the St. George tabernacle today,
when consoling words were offered
the family of the deceased, who has
been a consistent Latter-day Saint
all her life. Sister Foster was born
in Chester, Pa, Oct. II, 1870, and
joined the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints in the year 1889.
She went to Nauvoo in 1871 and to
Salt Lake valley about 1850, coming
to St. George among the early set
tiers. Her husband, Scion Foster,
was one of the few known in history
as lions Camp.
1t is a well-known fact that mas
querade balls are not sanctioned by
the authorities of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
and also that no true Latter-day
Saint is in favor Of such balls. Mas
querade balls are not in unison with
the tenets of Our faith and only be-
long to and are INDUCED in by the
lower classes, and we sincerely hope
that all respectable people will
frown down anything bordering on
mas4uerades. We do not say this
to hurt the feelings of any one in
the least, but all know that the
worst villains there are gather at
the masquerades and strive to do all
the deviltry they can, and we are
always in favor of avcrting all the
evil possible.

WINTER JOYS.

When the window pane is crusted
With fairylsnd of snow,
And the wizard
OF the blizzard
Has shut off his biting blow,
When the mornings gold has busted
Like billow on the swamp,
From my cozy,
Rosy, posy
Nest fly with Persian pomp.
Oh, my spirits bright and sunny,
And Joys echoes in me wake,
When l pour the shining honey
On the
Buckwheat cake.
Oh, the frosty air is bitter,
And the poodle's eyeballs shine,
And the chicken,
ZerO-stricken.
BOOSTS upon the horses spine.
Oh. the snowdrifts CLEAN and glitter
With cleaning, glaring gilt,
And the sparrow,
10 his marrow,
By old Boreas is hit.
Yet listen to him chirrup
In the bramble and the brake,
While pour the maple syrup
On the
Buckwheat cake.
Oh. watch the dumpy possum,
As he ways his tai in glee,
While he's roofing,
Or a-scooting.
To escape the fricassee.
With his nose frozen blossom
Doth the small boy now appear
AT the gateway,
And he straightway
Moulds of snow the deadly sphere
And | see the man who passes
On his ear that SNOWFALL take,
While l pour the rich molasses
On the
Buckwheat cake.

rhe court House lew.

In tai" ing with John Myers, our new
commissioner elect, in regard 10 the
new court house, we find him alert and
thoroughly informed on the question.
There are some features he does not
like. The fact that the money, $780,
900, is to be raised in three or four lev
les, will leave large amount In the
county treasury all this period of time
1t is all right if the banks do not break
bnt there is the risk, and there is no
income on the money. If the law
will permit, it might be invested in
bonds; tut then there is danger of
getting unsafe bonds, and as the money
can only be out three or four years,
the investment must be made in some
thing that Can be realized On quickly.
However, it is much better as it IS than
to have issued long time interest bear
ing bonds as is usually done. If the
law had permitted it, tive and three
year bonds might have been issued,
which could have been purchased by
the county from its sinking fund, thus
making AN absolutely safe investment
for that money.
Another thing Mr.. Myers will guard
against if the building is commenced
during his term, is the commencement
of larger building than can be COM
pleted on the amount authorized to be
LEVIED and collected. The usual, and
it might bs said the expected thing In
the erection Of such buildinO is for
the commissioners to accept the plans
of some architect who estimates the
cost at about the amount allowed.
Then they spend their stint and find
on their hands the walls of large
building, Or one unfinished and not fit
to occupy. Mr.. Myers rightly thinks
that $4,000 will build u court house
large enough for this county for years
and years to come, and the commits
slOners should be very careful not to
begin on 81 grand scale that the
$4,000 will not complete it.

A Youthful Tragedy.

A youthful tragedy occurred in this
city short time ago. There is always
the bad boy in every school who makes
more or less trouble. A boy by the
name of Ray Montgomery and a daugh-
ter of Mr. Lester McFadden, sat close
together at school and did not get
along smoothly. She finally reported
to the teacher that he was disturbing
her peace and comfort by punching her
in the back and by other devices. This
made him mad, and day or two after
when she was going to school in the
rain, carrying an umbrella, he as
sauted her, took the umbrella and
clubOed her over the head. making a
severe bruiss. Shortly afterward she
was taken sick with a fever and in
about week hemorrhage from the
head commenced and she very nearly
bled to death. At last accounts she
was still very sick. The doctor gave
it as his opinion that the hemOrrhage
was caused by conclusion of the brain.
