negro prisoners confined in the jail

afflicted with that loathsome disease
Syphilis. In my official capacity as
Ordinary, I employed Capt G. I.

TO cure them, under a contract, mo
cure, no pay" He administered TO
them bis celebrated Syphilitic Specif

under my contract, to pay him out OF
the county treasury, as he effected a
complete and radical cure.
In testimony hereunto set my Of

While the TRIBUNE has earnestly striven,

While the TRIBUNE has earnestly striven.
and with gratifying results. to impress up.
on our merchants and business men the
necessity of making this village the lead
ing market in this section of the state, We
have only presented one side Of the ques.
ton. The farmers who are now rcaping
rich reward from the onterprising efforts
of the business men Of Morris, are deeply
interested in keeping alive the Keen com
petition which is enabling them to sell at
the highest figures paid in any market in
western Minnesota, and also to buy at the
most reasonable rates, ut prices almost as
low Us can be obtained in the larger cities.
The large volume of trade now pouring
into this place, not only enables the bust
ness men of this village to maintain their
commendable and energetic policy, but it
encourages them to greater efforts, and
hence it is the duty of the farming commu-
nifty to continue their liberal support. The
farmers in the territory tributary TO Morris
should use every effort to influence trade
to this point, they and their neighbors in
the more remote territory should combine
together and work for and in the interest
of this place, as by so doing they can by
helping us help themselves. Encourage
the business men by increasing the volume
of trade and you will promote your own
interests. We admit that never in the his
tory of this village has there been such a
large amount of trade transacted, yet this
but proves our argument that the farming
community are interested in seeing that the
traffic be not only maintained. but if posi-
BILE increased, as the very fact OF this un.
usual and extensive volume of business, is
the reason why our active and energetic
business men have been enabled to offer
such vastly superior inducements to the
trading public Morris TO day heads the
markets of this upper country, she stands
far in advance of all competitors. Wheat
is worth in this market within from three
to five cents Of Minneapolis, and all other
produce maintains the same high standard
OF values. while the keen yet healthy COM
petition among our merchants has had the
effect to reduce the prices Of fuel and all
kinds Of merchandise in corresponding
degree. The Lord helps those who help
themselves" and farmers who will help
themselves can do so by combining and
throwing their influence with US as we
suggest. 1t will without the shadow of q
doubt materially enhance their individual
interest by promoting our welfare.
