Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1883-08-11
LOCAL NOTES.

A large new stock of boots and shoes
has just been received at Wolff &
Wells.
Morris and Sank Center have the
best of prospects for becoming large
places as each is the terminus or rail
road.
Judging from the great amount of
building going on and the scarcity of
carpenters we must say that our build
ing boom is on the increase.
A Fair will be held in Morris by the
Catholic church on November 9Th, 9th,
and It'll. Further particulars will be
given as the time approaches.
The capital of the Stevens County
Bank is now $4,000 and the capital
of the Grant County Bank which is
owned by the same persons, is $4,000.
1t is said that L. III. Stanton has on
his farm north Of town calf which
weighs over 500 pounds. The cigars
are up that it is the largest and best of
its age in the state.
The subject of the discourse at the
Congregational church tomorrow
morning will be 1.-THE Rock of Ages"
In the evening Rev. J. P. Hutchinson
will take for his subject "Bruised
Reeds"
News was received here this morn
ing of the burning of the depot at Her
man last night. The building was
struck by lightning during the
storm of last evening and burned
together with large amount offreight.
c. r. Perkins is rejoicing over the
arrival of son at his house. The
exact relationship of this young
gentlemen to his Grand Pa or Uncle
and to his infant Aunt Or Cousin and
the rest of the family is more than we
can figure out. We are not very
heavy in social economy anyway.
Mary Eugenia, the infant daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. P. Maginnis died
on Wednesday of this week and was
buried Thursday. The child was six
months old at the time of its death and
had until few days before been well
and strong. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. F. Watry.
The new and complete stock of cloth
ing and other goods has commenced to
arrive at Wolff & Wells store and to
make room for these immense amounts
of new goods they are offering their old
stock at remarkably low figures.
These old goods must go and if in need
of anything visit to their store will
convince you of the fact that now is
the time to buy.
1.-TWO years ago, in order to convince
myself in regard to advertising. /
placed advertisements in part of the
local papers for our wagons where we
have agents and in others I did not.
Agents where advertising was done
sold double the number of wagons
that were sold where it was not" The
above remark was made by T.G. Mandt
while in town Wednesday. Of course
the experiment was positive and con-
vincing and now he makes practice
of advertising in local papers wher-
ever their goods are in the market.
Elsewhere will be found an advertise
ment in this paper.
Benson has more pretty girls to the
square inch visiting within her limits
than any other town in the northwest.
Benson Times Yes and they will
all return to their homes in Morris, in
few. days.-Morris Tribune. Now
there's where your off, Mr.. Tribune.
Morris may have whole stacks of
pretty girls, and we would be the last
man to say you haven't, but We'll tell
you what We'll do. You just offer a
prize at your fair this fall for the
prettiest girl in three counties and
We'll bring a girl up from Benson that
| will just knock the socks offi'n any
bunch of calico that eats ice cream and
wears bangs in Morris.-Benson Times
We don't weaken. The prize is offered
and when our Fair(ones) meet they
will take the medal and the Times and
