Cedar City Eappenings

went serious operation few weeks
since. Mrs. Prince was feeling fine,
conditions considered, when she left
here.
T. j. Kerr and G. c. Goddard made
flying trip to New Castle last
Tuesday, leaving Cedar City about
noon and returning the same night
by about 1000 o'clock. On arriving
there they found that the party they
went to see was not there, hence their
early return.
Manager Willard f. Cory of the
southern branch Of the Con. Wagon
e. Machine Co., located In this city,
is making a tour Of Washington
county this week in the interests of
MS company. During his absence the
local store is in charge Of Assistant
Wallace Adair.
The little three year-old girl of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Dix has been
desperately i'll with pneumonia this
week, but we are pleased to be able
to report that she has apparently
passed the crisis In her disease, and
with a normal temperature this a. m.
and an appetite for food appears to
be on the rapid road TO recovery. DR..
Leonard has had charge of the case.
DR.. Leonard reports the arrival of
fine boy at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Mendenhal, last We'd
nesday Except for the fact that the
mother is afflicted with a most dis
tre3sing cough, everything Is going
nicely. 1t is presumed, of course,
that the father is wearing the pro-
verbal smile, but the doctor neglect
ed to advise us specifically in relation
to this very important phase of the
case.
James Chatterley is handling the
dangerous work connected with the
painting and repairing Of the taber-
nacle tower AS he hangs on the al
most perpendicular side of the tower,
suspended with block and tackle
twixt heaven and earth, it gives one
the creeps to look up at him. Look
ing down from, his hanging sling
would brighten the timid ones to
death, or cause them to turn dizzy
and sick James has cool head and
steady nerves, and does not appear
to mind it in the least.
The epidemic Of sickness that has
been so prevalent in Cedar City for
the past two or three weeks, seems
to be general throughout the coun-
try. 1t is our theory that the sick
ness is produced by the long wet
spell, followed by warmer weather,
and is probably due to decaying veg
etable matter, rotted by the moisture
and the warmth of the suns rays
You will notice that in this county il
started at Kanarraville and Hamil-
toms Fort, where the snow went of
first and has gradually followed the
disappearance of the snow and dry
ing up of the ground. Parowan has
had the most snow, and has thus far
appeared to have the least sickness
out its residents cannot be too care
full. Avoid exposure and keep the va
rious functions of the body in good
working order, are the best prevent
atives that we can suggest.
