KAYSVILLE KINKS #101 IN SERIES - MAY 1899

• The Kaysville Post Office is a migratory concern and it is shifted about from one part of town to another, according to the whim of Postmaster Clow, regardless of the desires or convenience of the public. The office today is in the Lewis & Deshago building on Main Street. It is reported Postmaster Clow has made the change in order to be farther away from the saloon.
• "Hop Gee Laundry" is the sign that adorns the front of the Beazer building on Main Street. Hop is the 1st of his nationality to take up an abode in Kaysville. It is expected that others will follow.
• The Public School of 8th District will close on Friday. Graduation examinations (back then 8th grade was graduating, few at that time were able to go further) resulted in the following Kaysville students receiving their certificates: Claude T. Barnes, Pearl Layton, Ida and Edna Hyde, George Barnes, Joseph Lewis, Myron Phillips, Mary Swan, Annie Knowlton. The program was held in the Music Hall.
• Mr. and Mrs. Robert Burton celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary on Wednesday. An excellent dinner was served and old time songs and amusements were enjoyed.
• Mrs. Hyrum Stewart and Mrs. James H. Larkins were in Salt Lake on Thursday.
• There was the usual large attendance at the Decoration Day concert at the Cemetery. Other than that Kaysville is practically deserted, many having gone to Lagoon and others being out riding.
