that everybody is out when one does
come.

Morris wheat buyers propose to make
this the banner wheat market of West

are thusly.
From the remotest corners Of Uncle
Sans farm come orders for the TRI-

al number of valuable citizens may be
obtained during the coming season.
While tied near the Bank of Morris,
last Saturday, Mr.. Kenner's horse be-

from the breaking of the cutter, the
runaway was harmless one.
The present year in Morris will wit
ness the erection of the greatest num-

building next to the Stevens County
Bank, Larson & Nilson's on the site of
the one destroyed by fire, Good & Bris-
bine, at the old corner, have already
commenced operations. Their build
ing when finished and stocked will be
the finest store of the kind west of st.
Paul. The new depot for the Little
Falls & Dakota r. R., together with a
large freight house, and the county
buildings which it is hoped will be
completed and ready for use next fall.
These are but a few of the more i'm
portant of the improvements contem-
plated. The numerous dwelling houses
also to be erected, can be rented
months in advance. The growth OF
Morris is healthy and substantial.
