SERVICES NJ the METHODIST CnurCn next
Sunday, Rev. Mr.. Phelps officiating.
If you want to keep your name out of
the paper after this. the only way that it
can be done is to behave yourself as the
names of all offenders are to be published.
Those of our citizens who think the brick
making business of Morris is a busted bub-
BILE, are premature in their conclusions.
Mr.. Moore is not the man 10 throw up the
sponge on the first defeat in that manner;
he is now having better quality of clay
hauled from distance of several miles,
for another kiln, and if this proves sue
cess he will commence operations at that
point. He is determined we shall have
Morris brick by some means or other. and
in this laudable enterprise he has the best
wishes of the community.
In regard to that strip of bottomless road
south of town, we are informed that the
village council have had it made passable,
but they think as that territory is in the
town of Darncn, it is considerable of an
imposition to have the village do all The
work. AS near rs can be ascertained, the
town of Darnen has never expended a cent
in that locality. but has shirked the job
and either let the village do it or else let it
remain undone. The council don't pro-
pose to submit to this imposition and have
decided to have the county do the work
and charge it up to that town. Some of
the tax payers in that locality should see
the supervisors and ascertain where their
monev is expended.
If ono could drop down out of the clouds
into Morris, without finding out their 10
cality. they would think they were in one
of the mushroom towns of the far west,
that spring up in day; the noise of the
carpenters hammer is heard in all direc-
tons; every time you turn your head you
expect 10 see new house started; if you
turn corner and see carpenter at the
other end of the block, he commences to
shake his head, as much as to say: l can't
do it, m SO pressed with work, and he
keeps on shaking till he's fur past you. so
that stranger would think all tho carpen-
tiers in town had the palsey; if things keep
on at this rate, the town will crowd the
farmers into corner. One cause of this
boom is splendid school; another, our
various church Accommodations; q third is
the desirable society and good police regu-
lations, and we were going to say fourthly
the good condition of our streets, but we
guess we won't; but we might keep on
our recapitulations equal with the Scotch
divine who said 17thiy, under the 18th head
of his sermon.
The farmers of this county arc fortunate
in many respects; if wheat is low, the crop
is good; if wheat is light crop, the price
is good; but for all this, the farmer should
not stick too close to wheat raising. Wien
the whole country confines itself to one
crop, and that crop proves failure, as it
sometimes does, there is wide spread Ca
lamity. Diversity and rotation in crops is
the only thing to rely upon. Farmers in
this county should devote. more attention
to stock of all kinds; to this end, tame
grass should be raised, it makes better
pasture, better hay and more of both. The
writer of this article knows whereof lie
speaks; he has experimental Oh timothy
on this Minnesota prairie with the greatest
success; no eastern state ever proc uccd u
heavier crop. The hog crop is another
item in the stock line which docs not COM
mand the attention ii should; corn can be
raised profitably on these prairies. and
with good breed of hogs, much more
money can be made at it than by raising
wheat The po!and-china, berkshire,
suffock, etc are al. good breeds.
LIE NA1LED.-On Monday last, T. NJ.
Grant, of Ortonville stated publicly
on the streets of Morris, that No. wheat
was selling in that town for one dollar and
twenty cents per bushe. The matter was
talked over at the board of trade Monday
evening, and some doubts were expressed
us to the truth of the statement, and to set
tie the matter telegram was sent to Or
tonville, by the president of the board
asking for prices paid OH that day and also
for list prices. The following telegram
proves that the statement was both faIse
and malicious and places the aforesaid citi
zen in an unenviable position:
ORToNv1LLE, Sept 10, 1881.
r. c. MOORE, Morris:
Dollar nile for number one, dollar sil
for number two, price to-day. We have
no list. DAssEL.
This shows that the assertion that higher
prices are now pail in Ortonville than in
Morris are deliberate falsehoods, set atloa
for the purpose of misleading farmers ant
divcrtilg trade to the former point. Thu
facts are that during the past week thu
Morris market has lead all competin!
points; one dollar and ten for number one
and one dollar and seven for number two
having been paid here when the price
stated in the above telegram were given a
OrtonvilIe. This leaves US ahead by OH
cent or that day, and conclusively prove
that this is the banner market, all lynn
reports to the contrary notwithstanding.
BOARD OF TRADE.-Last Monday even
ing's session of the board was very in
teresting one, several questions of impor,
lance being under confederation. II wa

following preliminaries regarding the wiz

, jects of roads, wheat, fuel, etc., to receiv

to vary the programme for each evening
