ing there were two dances and three

Mr.. and Mrs. r. ]. Williams of Ka-
narravile spent Christmas in Cedar
with their daughter and family, Mrs.

turned home Monday, his son Reese
James coming up for him.
The Uric Meat Market recently in
stalled an up-to-date electric sausage
grinder, and now customers are served
choice hamberger steak and Bologna
made before their eyes. No fear Of
"dog meat" under these circumstances.
T. F. Jennings Of Salt Lake, one of
the former stockholders in the Bull
lion Canyon mining properties, went
out to the property last Wednesday
with Manager j. r. Richards to look
over the ground with view Of resum-
ing operations In the near future.
A wedding reception was held at the

last Tuesday evening in honor Of Mr..
Israel T, Nelson and Miss Margaret
E. Cannon, who were united in the
holy bonds Of matrimony last week at

Rabbit drives would be much more
successful IL everyone participating
would feel an individual responsibility
to maintain straight line and make
all the gaps as nearly even as possible.
Let's all practice this next time we
go out. Crooked, badly distanced
lines are responsible for eight out of
every ten getaways effected by the
rabbits.
The new board of county commits
sioners will meet next Monday to re-
ceive the custody of the affairs of the
county administration, to have and to
hold the same for the ensuing two
years. At this time the present COM
missioners will also be present to turn
over the business Of the county to
their successors. It is obvious that
Commissioner Elect H. w. Lunt will
be unable to attend this meeting.
From Kanarraville to the black
ridge above Bellevue, the snow covers
the ground to the depth Of several
inches, while from short distance
this side of Kanarra to Cedar City
and on as far as Parowan, the roads
are practically dry. From Bellevue to
st. George, also, the ground is bare
and dry. The little stretch of coun-
try from Kanarraville to Bellevue APP

in the matter of storm.

ram Motor Supply company Of Salt

local growers of hogs, who has been
in the habit of shipping the live ami
mails to the Eastern or the Western
markets, is this year having the ami
mails that he has to sell slaughtered
and cured at home by Messers. Rel
sig & Heine, who have opened a small
packing house establishment at the l.
c. Macfarlane farm in the North field.
II is evident that Mr.. Bulloch, after
a careful investigation, has decided
that there is more money in curing
and marketing the hogs at home.
The mayor and other city officers
are wrestling with the drink problem
again these days, the condition dur
ing the holidays not being altogether
satisfactory. IL is apparent from the
amount of drinking in evidence that
intoxicants are being brought into
town in considerable quantity, and the
means of preventing this from being
done is the problem that confronts the
city administration. II seems that the
state law is still little lame in some
respects. For one thing, it ought to
prohibit the shipment Of intoxicants
from wet into dry territory.
Last Tuesday, before noon, the well
come news was received from Salt
