MIR. EDITOR.

Mr.. EDITOR.
1 dropped into your Board of Trade
room on Tuesday evening last to take OBJ
servations, and must confess to astonish-
ment at such large turn out ON an even
ing that threatened rain. My acquaintance
with Morris has lasted from the year the
road passed through till now, and never
saw the town so well represented by its
enterprising business men, in any matter
relating to the general interests of the
place before.
From the reports of committees it is evil
dent they are at work, and mean business.
Among the many other good things done
was the appointment of finance commit
tee (Messrs. Griswold and Whitley to
straightcn up old accounts, collect mem
bers fees and obtain new members; now !
earnestly hope this committee will be
warmly received by our citizens generally
No enterprise in Church or State ever can
can be success unless the finances are in
u healthy condition. The business of Nor
ris is in very healthy condition, and every
enterprise of the town should follow in the
same wake
There never was time when the united
efforts or all the citizens of the place was
as urgently needed as now. A year age
we had no competing points that We feared.
We held with ease the prestige we had
won of being the banner town of north
western Minnesota, but now We have a
railroad a: Alexandria, N. E. OF us, and
one at Ortonville, S. w. of Us, to divide
our territory, and we have Hancock with
in eight miles of us, which was heretofore
small place, but it is now filled and sur
rounded by men of enterprise and intelle-
gence, so it behooves US to look well to oul
laurels.
l SAY success to the Board of Trade, oul
working City Council. and-last but not
least-our Board Of County Commissioners
who will aid US in every effort to build ul
our town and county. SYNTAX.
