LOCAL NOTES.

good sidewalks.
Lewis Christopherson and Anna
Larson were married in Morris on
June 10th, by Rev. J. p. Hutchinson.
At the rattle for lot in Graceville'
last Friday night, ticket number loi
was the lucky one and ID. j. Burke
was the holder.
Watson & Leonard's flock of 2lo
sheep were sheared last week by IL
Ellsworth, in three and one-half days.
Ellsworth is quite an expert.
A fishing party made up of A. 5.
Brisbine, John Anderson, J. VI.
Thompson end Ben Johnson brought
a fine lot of fish into town yesterday
morning.
Last week Mrs. Coyle lost pocket
book containing about $25 in cash and
some valuable papers. The finder
will be literally rewarded by return
ing the same to this office.
The delinquent tax lists for the year
1882 have been completed by Auditor
Heenan and turned over to the Clerk
of the Court Baldwin who. is making
the printers copy. The list is about
the same as last year.
A special train, composed of a Man.
itoba special car and special car
from the c. B. & @. road passed
through town for Winnipeg Tuesday.
A. Marvel, general manager of the
Manitoba road, was one of the party
on board.
The Stevens county Old Settlers as
ISOLATION meets at L. L. Highlands
grove tomorrow. Ample preparations
have been made for refreshments, and
everything that is needed for the en-
joyment of the old pioneers. A good
time is expected.
Twenty-Five carloads of cattle passed
through town Monday night, owned
by A. \. Johnson & Co., of Benson,
which were being shipped to their i'm
mense cattle ranch near Miles City.
Both A. n. johnson and III. w. Stone
are now in Miles City giving the
ranch their personal attention.
A car load of buggies and light
spring wagons was received by c. IL.
Allyn last week. They are going rap
idly, which fact indicates good pros
porous condition of things in general.
When farmers begin laying aside their
farm wagons and using buggies for
light road work one hears but little
about hard times among them.
Much of valuable trade, naturally
tributary to this place, now goes to
Hancock and Herman because roads
leading to Morris are often in such
deplorable condition. Business men
of Morris cannot afford this state OF
things. The loss is too serious. The
county and town officers are doing
commendable work in improving the
highways, but if they do complete
needed work the work should be fin
ished by private subscription. Roads
should be put in excellent condition
anyway.
The musical society temporarily Or
ganized by the Leslie Concert Com
pany promises to become permanent
and useful musical society. A COM
mittee has been appointed to draft
constitution and by laws and prepare
the way for permanent organization.
Meetings will be held regularly every
week; A competent leader has al
ready been chosen and instruction
and practice in vocal music will be
continued. The result can not but be
beneficial. The next meeting of the
society will be in the school house on
Friday evening.
The programme which the base ball
club last week expected to carry out
on the Fourth of July has been
changed and instead of playing at
Little Falls, they will play at Willard.
The club is now in constant practice
and will probably do some fine play
ing. AS both the Morris base ball club
and the Morris silver cOrnet band will
go to Willard ON the Fourth, large
company of excursionists from here
will beyond doubt go to the same
place from here. Conductor Hall of
the L. F. & d. should be well supplied
with extra coaches for the day.
Last Saturday afternoon the pupils
in the Catholic Parochial schools, in
charge of Rev. F. Watry and the Sis
teri, their teachers, enjoyed picnic
ia wunch's grove south of town. The
Gay was pleasant and the place one of
the most attractive to be found. About
sixty children were present, and when
engaged in play, or when seated in a
circle eating their picnic dinner or en-
joying tue ice cream, lemonade, can
dy, nuts, etc. provided them, formed
"a pretty sight. 1t IL needless to say
that all had q good time. Another
picnic is being planned for the same
place for the Fourth Of July.
Those who read the county commits
sioners proceedings published ia the
TTIBUSE a short time ago, know that
the county commissioners have ap-
propriated several hundred dollars to
be expended in improving the roads
Of the county. They will also know
