Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1880-09-09

This season has been q regular "siX
months winter and three months late in
the fall, and the confiding individual who
invested in nice cool summer suit, has
been on ice during the greater part of the
entire months when we usually had sum-
mer weather.
A stranger was in town yesterday look
ing over the ground with view to start
ing another saloon. From his appearance
he had sufficient quantity of liquor on
board to stock good sized bar, and would
not need any other patronage than his own,
if once established in business.
FLAx,-Mr. G. Sax planted quite num-
Der of acres of flax last spring and he estl-
mates an average yield of about twenty-five
bushels per acre. This ut 81 % per bushel
is good paying crop, and it further shows
the great mistake of surprising that wheat
raising is the most profitable investment in
farming.
And now the season approaches when
the candidates begin to talk fiatteringly to
their dear old friends" and modestly eX-
tol their own virtues, capabilities, rights,
wrongs, flattering prospects, etc., etc. As
there is no law to protect tie unfortunate
citizens, they suffer in silence, and vote re-
gardless of the taffy given them.
SABBATH SERVICES There viii be
special services at the Congregational
church, next Sabbath, appropriate to the
opening of another year of christian work.
Rev. Edwin S. Williams, of Minneapolis,
will be present and lead in the services
preaching the sermon. Services at 1880
A NJ, and at Z O'clock in the evening.
All are cordially invited to be present.
1t has been suggested that ali item of ex
pense might be saved the village, if some
of those Migrants who cannot pay their
fines, were given the alternative, to either
leave town or go to Jail. An objection
may be raised, however, that this would
drive the vagabonds into the country, but
we do rot think they would go there, as a
trip in the country would Curtail their
sprees, and make too long time between
drinks.
| WHY-.Whv cannot the ordnance pro,
hibiting the feeding of teams aroInd the
machine and lumber sheds on the right of.
way be enforced There is no question
but the authorities have juriSdic ion over
every foot Of land in the corporation limits,
and as precaution against fire from the
accumulation of rubbish in the vicinity OF
these sheds, the strict, rigorous enforce
ment of the ordinance is a necessity. Il
will not oe long before the town is fiilco
with teams anu a stop should be put upon
this dangerous nuisa ice at once.

Knute Anderson, Pope county granger

ing bifurscaled with tangle foot oblivion,
started for home, but being completely be,
| fGddled, and having team of spirited
horses which were FESTIVE under his reCk,
less attempts at driving, the Marshal took
charge of 10th Knute and his team and

the muddled individual rolling about on

it was relief 10 have the Marshal take
