Kimball Markham has been called
to fll a mission in the Southern
States. He is to leave here about
the last of September, and as he
has a wife and three small children,
it will be quite sacrifice to leave
them.
George Hopes received a letter

present.

operation performed on her throat
during her late trip to Utah, which

Last week she went to Franklin
with her parents. to rest and re-

The idea of establishing Moth
er's Day throughout the United
States is being agitated. On this
day every man and boy in the
United States will be supposed to
