On the 18th inst. at one of the
Salt Lake hospitals, Mr.. Peter Nc
Geary died from disease of the

in Woodvine's hall, on the 10Th.
He leaves many relatives and

TWIN GROVES.

Last week Rassmuss Micleson
went to the timber for a load of
fire wood and while loading he
undertook to handle stick that
was too heavy for him and when
he got it up to where stick is al
ways heaviest he fell to the ground
perhaps from the strain and was
unconscious for considerable
length of time. His companions
did all in their power under the
circumstances to restore conscious
ness, but before he recovered they
feared he had breathed his last.
Mr.. Micleson is recovering but has
not entirely as yet.
F. Fahrem was down from Far.
mum last week with several head
of horses which he wanted to have
kept over winter. Mr.. Fahren
has more horses than hay.
VIM. Edgington and family have
moved back to their home from the
Snake River Lumber conpany's
saw mill at Island Park, where
they have been all summer keeping
the boarding house for the mil
men. On their arrival they discov-
cred that their oldest child, a boy
about five years of age, was coming
down with typhoid fever. He is
getting along as we'll as could be
expected.

LauSe of LOckjaw.
Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by
a bacillus or germ which exists
plentifully in street dirt. 1t is in
active SO long as exposed to the air
but when carried beneath the skin,
as in the wounds caused by percus-
sion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ
IS reused to activity and produces
the most virulent poison known.
These germs may be destroyed and
all danger Of lockjaw avoided by
applying Chamberlain Pain Balm
freely as soon as the injury is re-
ceived. Pain Balm is an antiseptic
and causes cuts, bruises and like
injuries to heal without naturatior
and i'll one-third the time required
by the usual treatment Sold by
all druggists.

There have been number of
parties i'll the neighborhood lately
which were greatly enjoyed.
We understand that the Newly

to Sugar City to stay some time.
Philip Ferrin and family have
gone to Utah for the winter.
While bringing a load of lumber
home, William Van Sickle was

gress now.
Mr.. Higginbotham has moved
his family to Utah where he ex-

Not very large number of our end

PEANUT HARVEST.
Women and Children More Expert in the
Work Than Men.

Peanuts are harvested in October in all
the large peanut growing states. The
harvesting must always take place be-
fore frost, for the nuts and haulm are
both greatly injured if not ruined by
frost. If the fall should be wet or the
peanuts mature very early many OF the
first formed nuts will be ruined by
sprouting. Dry weather should always
be selected for harvesting. II cannot be
done when the ground is wet. for then
the dirt will adhere to the nuts and ruin
them, or at least greatly detract from
their market value by turning them
black.
The crop of white peanuts is harvested
by running a furrow Oh each side Of the
row with bull tongue pillow of pea
digger. so as to dislecate the roots. Care
must be taken not TO detach the nuts
from the vine in running the SIDE furrow
After the plOw has heep run on each
side of the row (and it is sometimes
necessary TO run twice on sidel then
life the vines gently with the hand, care
fully shaking the dirt off, and lay them
on the ground. Let them remain in this
way, If the sun is shining, from SIX TO
eight hours. The vines will wilt like
clover, when they may be brought to-
gether and.stacked. The stacks are made
around a pole planted in the ground and
u
platform made of old rails rests upon
logs placed around the pole, and upon
this the stack is built The platform pro-
tects the nuts and vines from the mold
and dampness of the ground. In stack
ing the nuts should be put on the inside,
next to the stackpole bu, not SO close as
to prevent the air from circulating freely
from the bottom to the top of the stack.
10 make the stack entirely secure ii
should have a Gaping of hay OF corn
fodder. Put up in this manner. the nuts
will keep securely all the winter should
it be desired
The red nuts are more easily harvested
than the white. as they have but few
roots and the nuts adhere closely about
the stem. In loose land they may be
pulled up without running a furrow on
each side of the row, though to do this
will make the work much easier. There
are but few red nuts now grown An
everproduction of them for a while re-
duced prices below the cost of the labor
in producing them.
Usually the nuts are allowed to stand
in the stacks about four weeks and are
then picked off by hand, the white al
ways. The red nuts are sometimes
thrashed off by taking up bundles and
beating them against Il rail or the side
of Il box. This latter plan greatly in
jures the peanuts. Five TO six bushels
Of red peanuts can be picked off the
vines in day by nimblc fingered per-
son. but the picking of three to four
bushels of the white is considered a
good days work. Women and children
are said to be much more expert in this
work than men. The price Tor picking
is about 10 cents a bushel. After this
they ought to be screened in a cylinder.
so as to separate them from the rust
and leaves, and also for the purpose of
Frightening the hulls by abrasion. After
summing they are put in sacks containing
four to five bushels.-New Orleans

Girls and Love Letters.

Girls. put a brake on your enthusiasm
when it leads you into writing impas-
stoned epistles to the men with whom
you imagine you are in love.
When the right man comes write him
as many letters as your love and discre-
ton suggest, but don't put anything on
uaper that you will be ashamed to read
iii later years.
There is nothing sweeter than Il genu-
inc. tender girlish love letter, but don't
take the gilt off the gingerbread by
wasting your letters on the wrong man.
Do you know what he does with those
letters? Very often he carries them
about in his, pocket for weeks, where
they rub up against sordid bills and
business letters. and every time he wants
q certain letter he takes the whole bunch
out and your pretty, loving little mes
sage gets sadly frayed and soiled.
And sometimes land this is worst of
alD l am sorry to say that this careless
man lets your letters lie around the house
where all who are curious may read
them.
He does not do this because he loves
your, letter. but because you are not the
right girl and he is not the right man,
and the letter is valued accordingly
When the right man gets a letter from
YOU he will not carry it in his general
correspondence" pocket; he will have it
tucked off by itself i'll special pocket
and if it looks worn and soiled it is be-
cause it has been taken out and tenderly
perused many times and oft.
And so. don't you see, little girls. that
when you scatter your letters too freely
among your men friends you are not
only wasting your precious thoughts. but
that most precious of all womanly at
tributes-your dignity.-Seattle Times.

down to 63 cents. But history, since her
day, is not lacking in bargains of various
kinds, of which woman has had her share,
though no doubt Anniversary Sales, Sen

Wreck Sales are comparatively modern.
A woman's pleasure in a good bargain
