Yesterday was cold, disagreeable
day. But few farmers were in town,
anu merchants did but little beside
keeping up good comfortable fire.
From the general tone of our eX-
changes we conclude that there has
been Il democratic victory in Virginia
and that B. Butler is defeated in Mass.
The installation of officers for the
coming term was the business of the
Good remplars last night. Judging
from the baskets carried by members
we conclude they had picnic.
Another new engine now runs over
the L. +. & D.-No. 45. C. G. Smiley
has the running of this engine, while
J. d. Fuller drives No. Z, the new en-
CINE put upon the road some time ago.
While on the street yesterday, every
body seemed to be in a hurry. AS but
little was to be done, we conclude there
must have been other reasons than a
strides.
The st. p, NJ. & NJ. boys gave hop
at Browns Valley, last Friday, which
was most enjoyable affair. A large
number were present, and all devoted
themselves to having a jolly, social
good time.
The suddenness with which the
wind changed to the northwest, last
Saturday night, and the rapid fall of
the mercury is suggestive of what may
be expected enthusiastically for the
next six months.
\ neat and by no means small resi-
dence is being completed upon Second
street by T. Murphy, one of the thrifty
clerks at Good & Brisbine's store. Mr..
Murphy is but contributing his share
to the general growth.
The cold weather does not lesson the
amount of building going on here.
The latest is neat residence upon
Third street, which is being built by
VIM. Mccullough. Bear the fact in
mind that Morris continues to grow.
G. c.. Towner was in town on Satur-
day last. While here, his team helped
to enliven Atlantic Ave-, by a spirited
runaway. The wagon suffered con-
siderably during the performance, but
otherwise no damage was done.
The Northern Pacific company will
soon be able to turn their engines here
without going round the Y, as they
are putting in turn-table near their
engine house. The work is being done |
by w. III. Hill, an excellent mechanic. |
Four years ago, A. A. Stone lost a
watch in the field which then belonged
to J. P. III. Morris. The search for it
was in vain. Last week, in blowing, |
the long lost article was brought to !
the surface. The works were all rust |
ed out, but otherwise the watch was |
as good as ever.
There is considerable genuine COM
petition in the wheat market now.
From two to three cents per bushel
more than market price is paid upon
our streets every day. One farmer
sold lot of wheat on Monday, at SO
cents per bushel. This, he said, was
enough to satisfy him.
People who appreciate slick job in |
dentistry will be glad to know that
DIR. Hale will visit Morris profession
ally, on Monday next, Nov. 10Th, to |
remain few days in our midst. The
Doctor comes at the request of several |
of our citizens, and as his stay is neces-
sarily limited, parties who wish his
services should see him early in order
to secure an appointment.
The railroads are now having all
they can do. Upon the l.. f. d D.,
where a short time ago one freight
train running from Morris to Little
Falls, one day and back the next, did
the work, one train each way per day,
Sundays and all, is now needed. The
only limit to the loads these trains
carry, is the capacity of the engine to
