How to Look Good.
Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy coadiiiuo of all the vital
organs. If the liver is inactive, you
have a bilious look if your stomach is
disordered, you have a dyspeptic look
if your kidneys are affected, you have
a pinched look. Secure good health,
and you surely will have good looks.
"Electric Bitters" is a good Alterative
and Tonic. Acts directly on the
stomach, liver and kidneys, purifies
the blood, cures pimples, blotches and
boils, and gives a good complexion.
Every bottle guaranteed. Sold at
K. O. Wold's Drug Store. 50 cents
per bottle.

CEDAR CITY.
Old Settlers Meet.
The &Ld settlers of Cedar »City and
vicinity held a picnic at Officer's mill
Thursday Aug. 25th. The oldest
settler present was David L. Chand
ler of 1854. Mrs. A. Lott 1855, the
Phelps families, Bonnellies and Wat
kiss* were the next to arrive in the
spring of 1856. AlfredUressey and
wife came Oct. 13, 1856. Welcome
Osborn and Joshua Welch and family
were a few days later to arrive. From
the families of Phelps* there have
sprung up by marriages from five
daughters and two sons, fifty
four more. Four of these daugh
ters were present, viz: Mrs.
Andrew Gemmel, Mrs. Alfred
Cressey, Mrs. D. Niles, widow of
John B. Niles also Mr. and Mrs.
Siloam Williams of Kansas, Thomas
Bonnellie and Alfred Cressey. From
the original Welcome Chandler and
wife there ar6 thirty-seven grand
children. From the original John
Watkins and wife have sprung up
thirty-one children. From these
three first settlers of families at
Cedar City there has been born one
hundred and twenty-two persons.
There was also another family came
a little later on, viz, Jonh Carter and
wife, she also as well as Mrs. Welcome
Chandler being a Phelps. If I am
rightly informed, to these parents
were born sixteen sons and daughters
and from these I have no time to find
out how many grand children have
been born, but quite likely more
than any before mentioned. A few
other old settlers were present
Abraham Dickerson and wife, also of
good report in the same line, who
have done something in many ways
for the buildtog up of the young and
now beautiful State of Minnesota.
About one hundred persons were pre
sent mostly brothers, sisters, cousins
and parents.
The Officer brothers having married
two of the young women of the
Phelps stock, did all they could to
make the picnic a success and very
enjoyable. Four of
Che
sisters pre­
sent, in years have reached two
hundred and fifty-five years, and pro
bably after a few more days of earthly
enjoyment will meet no more*on this
side of Eternity's shore, but hope to
meet beyond the rolling river, and
day without night feast in God's
sight, and enioy the rest prepared for
the people of God, and have a re
union, meeting the loved ones who
have gone on before.
Such is another landmark of the
first settlers of Cedar City and
vicinity.
