AS the weather is fiuc and roads good
quite number of teams are engaged in
drawing wood from Pope and Douglas
counties to this place. The wood brought
is of excellent quality, and sells readily at
$500 per cord. Our local dealers have
also quite supply of fuel, both wood and
coal, on hand. so that the prospects for a
"freeze out" this winter are very slight.
Mrs. Charles Knight died very suddenly
at her LONE IN this place on last Thursday
afternoon. She had been sick but short
time and her death was surprise to all.
The funeral was held at the Congregational
church on Saturday afternoon and was
well attended by friends of the family.
Mrs. Knight leaves husband and two
children, one babe but few weeks old,
to feel her loss.
AS we are anticipating the starting of
several branches of industry in our town
the coming spring, we would suggest to
some entcrprising citizen the propriety of
building soap factory in order to dispose
of a few thousand dogs that are oostruct-
ing our streets and sidewalks. There
would be millions in it-dogs. When will
the proper authorities see that this dog nui-
sance is abated?
Upon next Thursday evening there will
be missionary prayer meeting at the
Congregational church. Reports regard
ing home and foreign missionary work
will be given. Also reports of christian

Immediately after the close of the meeting

will be held. The report of the pastor,
clerk and treasurer will be read, after
which the officers for the ensuing year will
be elected All interested in the work of
the church are cordially invited to attend.
In The Rural New Yorker of January :
appears a communication of Messrs.
Holmes and Sweetland, special CORES
pondents, in which the topography, soil,
resources, railroads, ETC., of Morris and OF
Stevens county are wildly portrayed Resi-
dents of this county will be interested in
reading their communication. Perhaps
after reading it they will value their homes
more highly than ever, as it will show them
how attractive these homes are to casual
observers. Often we do not appreciate
what we have until we find how much it is
desired by some one else. Extra copies OF
the paper can be obtained by c"ling at the
Bank of Morris. Call and get Copy, rcat
it yourself, and then send it to some frient
who will be interested in description Of
the place in which you live.
