Utah and the Mormons are on
the increase. The Mexican gov
ernment has granted the Mor
mons another tract of land in the
Sierra Mountains, consisting of
75,000 acres of very fine land.
It is said a colony will soon be
fcollected in Utah to inhabit this
land.
Sometime since, it will be re
membered, the News received a
poem signed “Guess Who.” A
few days thereafter we received
a letter thanking us for the pub
lication and asking whether or
not poems would t>e appreciated
in the future. In answering
this question we can only speak
for ourself. The News is always
glad to receive good poems and
will take pleasure in publishing
them when received. So Mr.
“Guess Who, ” com$ along and
Show yourself.
I never look at my old steel
composing rule that I do not
bless myself that while my
strength lasts, I km not at the
mercy of the world. If my pen
id not W'anted, I can go back to
the type case and be sure to find
work, for I learned the printer,s
trade thoroughly—-new-spaper
work, job work and press work.
I am glad to have a good trade.
It is a rock upon which the pos
sessor can stand firmly. There
is health and vigor for both body
and mind in an honest trade. It
is the strongest and surest part
of the self made man. Go from
the academy to the printing of
fice, or the artisan’s bench, or, if
you please, to the farm, for, to be
store, farming is a trade, and a
grand one at that. Lay thus a
sure foundation, and after that
branch out into whatever profes
sion you please.—Horace Greeley.
All girls that are so fond of
having rosy cheeks can now be
happy. The secret of perennial
loveliness, says the London Mail,
has been discovered at last, and
now. upon payment of a fee, the
rich, ripe bloom of healthy youth
can be indelibly fixed npon the
cheeks of all who desire it.
Credit for the wonderful discov
ery must be given equally to an
American lady and a London tat
tooist—to the fair American
fOr the suggestion and to the tat
tooist for having carried out
successfully one of the most
wonderful and interesting oper
ations of modern times. So far
Seven ladies have purchased
charming complexions that will
never fade, and many others
have written for particulars.
But the tattooist himself is not
keen on the new craze, and when
a lady wrote the other day to ask
if the color would remain upon
her cheeks after death, Mr. Mac
donald replied that it certainly
would. Whereupon the lady,
dreading a post-mortem discov
ery, wrote to say that she would
rather go on being pale than
have people saying things about
her after death.
WATCH AND ACT.
The people of Dent, Pumpkin
Bend and Barne’s townships
ahould be careful and have the
vacancies filled in their magis
trate's offices. Dent has no jus
tice at all. Pumpkin Bend has
only one, Barnes has none. T t is
only a matter of a few months
Until the county court meets to
make an appropriation for a new
dourt-house at Augusta. If
these townships are not repre
sented Augusta will carry the
day. If ypu are interested in
the welfare of the county, have
these vacancies tilled by men
that will vote your sentiments.
If you neglect this important
matter and Augusta obtains the
appropriation you will have no
grounds to kick.

While writing, the mill of Cain
Bros, is in dames. The mill and
many thousand feet of lumber
are a total loss, as they had no
insurance. Unless they rebuild
at once, many persons will be
thrown out of employment. The
loss is said to be between $900
and $1000. The mill was new
and they had just begun to get
orders sufficient to enable them
them to run all the time. By
the heroic efforts of the citizens
about three car-loads of lumber
was paved. Capt. Dunn, while
still weak, stood at his post and
fought the fire from the lumber.
Mr. Ruffin worked hard to save
the casing around the boiler, to
keep it from falling. It is said
the mill will be rebuilt. Mr$.
Brins Cain, Miss Tora, and Mrs.
Allen Cain worked hard, carried
water, and when the men were
exhausted, did not waver or stop j
one moment, but fought fire to J
the very la&t.' They knew neith-'
er fear nor fatigue.
I want the advice ofthe corres

Please tell me what to do corres
pondents. Will Tip’s writer tell
one?
