Job and was done by Messrs. Barker

LIBRARY NOTES.

Our last gift of books to the public
library was made by Mayor T. J.
Jones, and included: Five Hundred
Dollars, A Cousins Conspiracy, Uncle
William, The Colonel Of the Hizzars
and The Crossing. Mrs. Albert Lun-
dell, who Is lover of floral decora-
ton, gave two beautiful blooming GER
aniums, that are greatly admired and
appreciated.
The cleanup campaign being on,
and the college commencement near
at hand, we should like to ask all who
have students, whether boarders or
town boys and girls, to make careful
inspection of book cases &C., for stray
books. We have lost a number this
year which we trust will be returned,
as we shall be just as anxious to sup
ply next years students as the pres
ent.
Should there be any students who
will have books they will no longer
have use for, either for class work or
required reading, we shall be glad to
take charge Of them at the public Ii
brary, so as to accommodate the de-
mand and cut down the purchasing
expense Of next years attendance:
We cannot have too many copies OF
these books for the B. A. G. students.

Mr.. A. w. Johnson, who owns q
ranch near Heist and is very close
friend to the Stateline people, is not
seen here much lately. because he is
in the vicinity of Beryl clearing land:
and there is report current that some
time ago the famous A. w. j. had been
corresponding with young lady
somewhere down the line. How long
they had been corresponding is no.
body's business; but after while the
lady decided she would run up and
pay a visit TO A. w. J. When she
stepped off the train at Modena no.
body was more surprised than Mr. A.
w. j. OF course, the young lady must
be shown a pleasant time and like q
faithful servant that he is. he bitches
up and totes the young lady out to his
farm. She had no objection to the
farm at all, but she said that Mr.. J.
sure got her goat on that trip His
appearance was all right but he acted
queer and seemed nervous: and when
he was asked If there was anvthino
wrong he said that he was worried
over the great amount of work he had
layed out to do and couldn't get it
done. THAT may have been all right"
she said, "but to cap the climax the
blamed fellow had to stop and hitch
hay rake and BLOWN machine on
behind, and say! felt like ten cents
as we came moping into Modena with
one horse crippled and the other one
stove up, and the wagon or buggy,
whatever you may call it, must be the
buggy that Raymond and Ely had
when they discovered Phoebe in 1869,
and l believe that A. w. j. could get
a handsome reward from the Carnegie
museum for it, and probably for the
horses also" My advice to A. w. j.
is that the next time he tries to win
a life partner he puts his devotions
to her instead of hay rakes and other
farm implements, and to let the cares
Of the old farm go TO the Dickens. II
he had let the hayrake, etc, alone and
devoted himself to the young lady. she
might still have been in the Escalante
Valley instead of in California.
