An exchange says: There are
women who are comely, there are
women who are homely, though
be careful how the latter things
you say. There are women who
are wealthy, there are women
who will have their way. There
are women who are truthful
was there ever any woman that
was old? There are women who
are sainted, there are women who
are painted, there are women
who are worth their weight in
gold. There are women who are
tender, there are women who are
slender, women who are large
fat and red. There are women
married, there are women who
have tarried, there are women
who are talkless, but they are
dead.

The county court of Randolph
county has granted the petition
Of the people of Elkins in the
court house fight and the matter
will go to the people again about
the location of the county seat.
The last time it was up it was
voted down by a small vote and
the Beverly people promised that
they would talk new court house
for the next five years If it were
allowed to stay in their town.
However, they disregarded the
pledge and started in to build a
new one. The contract has been
let but this will stop the whole
proceeding until the fight is over
again. This time it is thought
that it will carry. The fight
will be aninteresting one at any
rate and from the intensity of it,
has attracted much attention in
this section Of the State.

The newspaper man is the pub
lie slave. He helps to make his
neighbor rich and dies poor. He
helps to elect candidates to fat
salaries, gets a little patronage
at starvation prices and waits till
doomsday for his money. He
builds up churches, schools and
other public institutions, contrib.
utes his mite to their support,
and when they have paid job
work and advertising to give,
they take it somewhere else or
ask for bids from those who
never aided them against those
who did. He credits a man two
years for a paper and when he
sends in a bill the man gets mad
and quits. That's why all news
paper men go to heaven, and
why SO many other sorts miss
connection with the Gospel

A few days ago a jolly nimrod had
his cheerfullness rudely Jared by
a hatchet-faced, grim visaged old
woman who appeared before him
at the rear end of a horizontal
Winchester and in soft, angelic
voice sweetly instructed him to
"git" off the place as there was "no
hunt'n lowed" there. The sur
prised sportsman listened to the
rapidly and explosively uttered
statement Of the various number Of
big bleeding holes that would be
put through Lis liver if he didn't
klatawa. examined the unusually
large bore Of the rifle, contemplate
ed the forbidding piece Of petticoat
at the other end, and, concluding
that discretion was the better part
of yalor, got "oif'n her land" with
due and proper celerity.-Signal.

People are wondering if this means
the joining together Of the Mormon

fare of the Mormon people at heart
should desire to create condition
of affairs that will cause remarks
to be made such as are being made
over affairs in Bear Lake.

| believe the Silver Republicans
will find the Democrats willing to
be fair and they should have a
meeting,unite their forces and warn
the friends of silver to beware Of
the Mckinley gold bug when he
makes his appearance with a non
partisan cloak upon his shoulders.
1t looks to me as though this move
ment is in the interest Of the Nc
Kinley Republicans and the people
should take warming"
He was asked what the Silver
Republicans were going to do from
a state standpoint and answered;
Il believe the leaders should and
will be called together for consul
tation. The State Central Com
mittee should meet at some con-
venient point and the future policy
Of the party be discussed. I hope
this will be done. The Silver men
should stop fighting each other
