A new ten foot walk has been laid

Seven car loads of lumber were re-
ceived by Good & Brisbine ON Monday
evening.
Some of the stages around buildings
in town, in course of erection, suffered
during the heavy wind of last Sunday.
Two car loads of farm machinery
were received by c. II. Allyn on Fri
day last. His trade seems to be BOOM
in and more too.
J. +. Danielson's stock of goods is
as complete now as the dimensions of
his store will permit. An addition to
his building is a necessity.
\ dance will be given by the b. of
c. 4 J. of a in Phoenix Hall, to-
morrow evening. Numerous tickets
have already been sold and good
time is anticipated.
A gravel train was put upon the
Manitoba road on Tuesday, with head

l,rI 10, ,,
dition.
\ meeting of the Phoenix Fire Com
pany is called for, tomorrow, Thurs
day, evening, at Berkin's Hall, at s
O'clock. GEO. H. MUNRO,

A. L. Giles, local agent for y. II.
Andrews & Co, sustained quite loss
last Friday, by losing his poeket-book.
The pocket-book contained quite
sum in currency and some valuable
papers, and has not yet been found.
Good butter brings % cents, while
poor article can hardly be disposed of
at 10 to Is cents per pound. This
ought to be enough to discourage the
making Of poor butter. A good arti-
Gle can be made as easily as poor one.
J. f. Danielson has adorned the
front of his store with a new and at
tractive awning. Names of the nu-
merous lines of Mr.. Danielson's spe-
cialties are neatly painted upon it. A
new ten foot walk has also been laid
in front of the store.
The Morris Creamery building is
going up. The ice house was COM
pleted some time ago. The frame for
the main building was put up yester-
day and the work will be crowded for
ward as rapidly as possible. The
building will ke ready for use by May
1st.
Some people in town were startled
by hearing several gun reports in sue
cession, about midnight, on Monday.
As no news of q tragedy has yet
reached US, we conclude that the cause
of the alarm was nothing more seri-
Gus than the forcible adjournment of a
concert among the feline family.
On yesterday, A. A. Stone received
a fine stock of baby carriages. AS Mr..
Stone himself said, the number of car
riages bears abont the same relation
to the number of babies to be supplied
as the number of offices at the time of
an election bears 10 the number of can
didates, so that those wishing car
riage must apply early.
Work upon the creamery building
at Graceville is progressing finely.
The creamery is being erected and
will be managed by VIM. T. Hastings,
a practical butter and cheese manu-
facturer and promises to be q success
in every particular. GraceviIle is to
be congratulated upon this addition to
her business interests.
The cyclone season opened in Min
nesots, and Iowa, in a gentle manner
last Saturday and Sunday. The storm
was quite general, and while it did not
aspire to the dignity of tornado, it
inflicted many trifing damages. In
this locality the storm was not as Sc
we're as elsewhere. 1t blew consider
ably and quite large amount of rain
fell. Seeding was delayed for short
time, but no further damages was
done.
We are authorised to say that by
expiration of time, Silas Robinson has
severed his connection with the Acme |
Dramatic Company, but will visit |
Morris in the early fall with his own |
company, carrying Is new scenes
brass band of s, orchestra, (has his |
own piano. new plays and fine COM
pany, and will give the Morrisonians
fine dramatic treat. This will be
good news to Mr.. Robinson's many |
friends in Morris.
This spring there has been an active
demand for oats and potatoes. Quite
number of car loads of each have |
been shipped from this point during
the last week. These two products
are always in active demand here, es-
pecially during and early summer,
bringing good prices, and this fact
should stimulate farmers in raising
them. Diversified farming is the pass
word to success, and the raising of
oats and potatoes are two things which
should not be overlooked.
The breaking of the cylinder to our
press caused the issue of an inferior
issue of the TRIBUNE last Saturday.
1t was not until evening that the press
was repaired, and in the hurry that
followed, the makeup man became
