Sahara, Utah, Dec 20, 1917.
We notice that the village black
smith has added wall board to the :
exterior of his house, much to the
comfort and good appearance of said
home.
Mr.. A. Nelson has joined the navy.
Mr.. Fass Rowland the Signal Corps,
U. S. A. while we nearly joined the
Ordnance Corps. But alas, our teeth
and other bad faults kept us out.
Much to our disgust.

At the next regular meeting Of the
club we will elect officers for the en-
suing six months. We mean to keep
the club humming until the return Of
all our people next year then we
mean to make things jy, believe
me.
Mrs. Earl Markwith expects TO
leave for Los Angeles soon on a visit.
The general Pete earn is also expect
ed to leave. Two more from an al
ready depleted community means a
lot. But at the same time we will
have a grand time welcoming them
home.

Pursuant to our promise made to
the "kiddies" we have sent for the
medals to be given to those who have
not missed Sunday during the past
six months in their Sunday School at
tendance. Our Sunday School is hold
ing its own valiantly in spite of the
haidicap of so many going out for
the winter.
Anticipating a rigorous winter, SIM
liar to the last one, many of our peo-
! pie took their hind foot in their hand
and lit out for Southern California.
But right now we are enjoying de-
! lightful weather, and while we are
glad on account of present comfort,
to see such fine weather, the fact re-
mains that snow is what we really
need

Personally we are grieving over
the total loss of three acres of fine
beans and two acres of Sedan be-
sides other crops, due to the ravages
of the rabbits and wild horses. We
are also wearing faces Of mourning
for our faithful house cat killed by
the coyotes, and we earnestly hope
that we may kill great many coy
otes to avenge her death.
