FORCE OF HABrr-One of our prominent
citizens, and by the way, one who is absent
minded in everything except business
affairs. having been invited, quite recently,
to spend the evening at the house of Il
friend, after supper proceeded to his room
for the purpose OF making some changes
in his wearing apparel. His mind, how
ever, was not on the work in hand his
thoughts were IN the counting room, and
so when he had laid aside his coat and
vest, he wound his watch, and oblivous to
all minor affairs, proceeded in mechanic
al manner, alshough it was only o'clock.
to disrobe for the night, and actually blew |
out the light and jumped into bed before

had come to the room for. We wi also
state, lis Il matter of fact. that his not re-
appearing from the bed chamber, caused
his wife to go to the door and inquire 'if
he was ready" and then and not till then
did his preoccupied brain allow him to take
in the ahsurdity of the position into which
an acquired habit had placed him. Were
it not that the gentleman, for some unac-
countable reason, is extremely sensitive on
the subject, we would give more detailed
particulars.
last week to the fact that the Northwestern
elevator at Donnelly, formerly owned by
E, Locke of Wilmar, had been purchased
by D. r. Sutherland & Co. of Norris
The bargain has been closed, the usual
documents signed, sealed and delivered,
and possession is to be given on February
25th The firm of D. r. Sutherland & Co.
now consists of Dr. D. r. Sutherland l..
II. Stanton, and Moore & Kenner, bankers,
all Of this place, the new partner being MIR.
Stanton, IA son of the late secretary of war,
who, by the way. having just attained his
majority, has come into possession of a
large fortune, and is Il young man of good
abilities. energetic, and possessing I'M
bounded faith in the prosperous future of
this state, and Stevens county in particular,
IL fact evident as he has chosen Morris rs
his future home. The other gentlemen are
to well and favorably known to need men
ton, but as the new firm has Unlimited
capital at their disposal and intend to en-
gage extensively in the grain business, we
predict revolution in the grain trade in
this section, Il change by the way, judging
from the past records of the members of
the firm, which will prove most advanta
geous to the people i'll this section of the
state. At present the firm own two eleva-
tors but intend either building or purchas-
iny others, SO as to do Il business in pro
portion to their capital. We congratulate
the people of Donnely and vicinity on the
fact that these gentlemen have taken 4
foothold at that point, for they will make
!. decided change for the better in that
burg. Mr. E. s. Hall will, for the present,
have charge of the elevator at Donnelly.
ENTERTAINMENT We feel confident
that the entertainment tc morrow evening,
the third of the series, will not only COM
pleteiy eclipse its predecessors. but predict
for it a success unprecedented. The pro
grammc, which we herewith publish, is
one that will certainly prove not only enter
tanning but exceedingly attractive. In
place of the usual address, the dramatic
club have prepared short play, which we
do not hesitate to say will re whole en-.
tcrtainment in itself. The farce is one of
the most bcwi!dcring and pcrplexing sort,
rich in absuroities and rcplctc with conf.
caiities il is sure to be hit and will with
out doubt prove one Of the most interest,
ing features of the evening. The new
piano has been tried and pronounced, by
competent judges, to be all excellent in,
strument, one which will allow the per
formers to do themselves justice. The
management would request that the public
endcaver TO be promptly on hand, as 1t is
desired to begin the exercises at 8 o'clock
sharp. 1t will perhaps be we'll to be on
hand early to. morrow evening, as it is very
probable standing room will even be
scarce.
