PERSONAL AND GENERAL NOTES.
- Mr. Joseph Egbert is out again after a two months sickness.
- The Mutual Improvement associations will hold their monthly conjoint session on Sunday evening next.
- So far as we are able to learn the fruit crop has not received much injury from the recent frosts.
- Although considerable grain has been killed out by the bad weather of the past winter, it is expected there will be quite an abundant harvest.
- Mr. John White, Mr. LewisS. Hills, Mr. David White and Miss Florence M. Smith were among the number that visited Kaysville from the capital this week.
- A full-grown live lynx is attracting large crowds of people. The animal was caught in a trap on John W. Burton’s farm, a short distance from here, and was brought to town as a curiosity.
- The Kaysville Dramatic club has under rehearsal the drama “Driven to the Wall.” The play is a very good one and will no doubt draw a large audience. It will be presented in the course of two or three weeks.
- A boy about thirteen years of age, a son of Mrs. Sarah J. Layton, met with an accident on last Sunday afternoon, which came near proving fatal. While out hunting on the range, a shot-gun in the hands of his older brother was discharged, the load taking effect in the lad’s back. Dr. Bulmer was called and succeeded in extracting several of the leaden missiles, and at last accounts the boy was doing well. M.
