LON DARE’S LETTER
The bachelor boy is lonesome one
time. He hates to own it, but he
can hardly be patient and stay at
home with his books. But there’s
a good time coming. He is going
to see his girl tonight, and before
you read this she is coming home
with him. Yes I’m going to marry
the girl who caused me to be a bach-
elor. Oh, I’ll get even with her,—
By being good to her! Some guys
Would say, “Why dont you fool
her?’’ No sir, not me.—I’d rather
marry her! I have been after her
heart all the time. I’ll tell you how
1 won her. Site won me. I went to
work to be a man and get me a
home and I let on like I didn’t want
her. That was part of the game.
And for months she has been com-
ing my way. The best thing- 3he
ever did was to make up with me.
The best thing I ever did urns to put
away pride and make up with her.
Her family are five people. She is
a tidy little christain girl and I am
going to deserve her. It is our am-
bition to be the best husband and
happiest wife and build up the most
beautiful home in the country.
All our friends, come to see us.
Wilton and Alma.

Flier Schedule
The flier leaves Carbon at 5:32
a. m. going east and arrives at
11:7 p. m. going west. This with
the other two passenger trains a
day gives us good and accommo-
dating service. But it sure does
keep the agent at his post of du-
ty long hours.
One thing we Carbon people
very much appreciate is the fact
that we have always had extra
good and accommodating agents.
S A Bi’ooks has been agent some
time here and is well liked by
everybody. He attends to his
business right and treats every-
body alike. He is certainly a
worker, and it is lucky for the
management that they have tarn
at this point where business is
increasing so rapidly.
During the month of June 39
cars and 135,895 lbs. local freight
were received here and 19,330
lbs. local freight shipped out.
; And while we are giving figures
we will show how the business
of this road is increasing. In
May 1904, freight unloaded here
was 14 cars and 120,000 lbs. loca;
freight, against 24 cars and 123,
180 lbs. of local freight in Ma-
1905, and this is one of theligh’
est months in the year
