| Guy johnson, our retiring postmas-
ter, has turned over his office to Mrs.
A. f. Phillips, the new post-mistress.
Mrs. Reynolds has been quite un-
well for some time past, though we are
glad to report that she is much better
at present.
Miss Grace Magnussen has also
been under the weather for few days
but is convalescing now. We hope
soon to see her at our social gather
ings again.
Your correspondent visited Mr.. l..
J. Nuttall, Jr., while in Cedar City
last Saturday, and it gives us sincere
pleasure to report that the School
Board acted favorably upon our pc
tition for the re-opening of the Sa-
hara school for the balance Of this
year.
Miss Annie Reynolds, Mr.. Guy
Johnson, George Griffin and the writ
err spent very pleasant evening last
week at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Hedrick. Miss Hedrick, the
accomplished daughter of the home,
MIR. Johnson and Mr.. Griffin enter
tanned us with excellent renditions of
many popular songs, also with a rice
selection of classical music.
We expect to begin a singing school
again soon. Our singing at the Sun
day school is lamentably under the
real abilities of the members of the
School. We mean to improve this
quickly. We are handicapped on ac-
count of not havm suitable musical
instrument for the Sunday School,
but we expect to overcome this hand-
cap presently by buying a player pi-'
ano. The first meeting Of the Singing
class will be held at Mr.. Magnussen's.
YOU are invited to attend the S. S.
for we need you in both places, and
maybe. if you really understand it,
you need us also.
There is, however, one drawback
and very serious one, too. This
is the lack of teachers However, we
are doing our best to locate one so
that by March at the latest we may
reopen the school. Sahara now has
8 children of school age and one other
in sight. The parents are naturally
very anxious to have the school re-
opened At the same time we APP
preciate the circumstances under
which the School Board felt compelled
to discontinue our school We sincere
ly appreciate the present action of the
Board and of Mr.. Nuttall. and will be
glad to cooperate with them in every
way possible to show our. appreciation.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Iedrick, Miss
Laura Hedrick and the writer drove
over to Cedar City Friday last and re-
turned Saturday evening. We had a
very pleasant time, possibly barring
the time spent with the dentist by two
of our party; though they both came
from the dentists chair with smile
and with the assurance that cit did
Mt hurt" at least not much. Our party
attended the Birth of a Nation" in
the afternoon and a lecture at the
b. A. c. in the evening; also the art
exhibit at b. A. c. next day. One of
= the artists very kindly explained the
pictures and We enjoyed them very
much, indeed, Much Of our comfort
and enjoyment Of our two days visit
was due to the gracious entertainment
afforded US by Mr.. and Mrs. Ahlstrom

e time, They have nice home anC
!. we found them delightful people

t have enjoyed Of dissecting. so t.
] speak, Cedar City 1t was my SECOND
2 visit to this pleasing little city, anC
= my impressions We're much more pleas

visit. One thing, Cedar is larger thar

a things so essential to a city's gooC
