LOCAL NOTES.

The skating rink had an animated
appearance yesterday afternoon.
The annual festival of Golden Shea
Lodge, A. f. and A. NJ. will be ;
most enjoyable event.
The snow aided in Christmas fes-
tfvities. Christmas wouldn't seem
natural without sleighing.
Messrs. Berkin and Johnson enter
tanned company of their numerous
gentlemen friends at their billiard hall
last evening from TO 10 O'Clock.
The letters of Christmas time con-
trast very strangely with the "piease
remit" kind which predominant dur
ing the rest of the year.
The best evidence of the profitable
ness Of dairying is that those districts
going into it are never known to give
it up. There is significance in this
worth bordering over.
Hugh Stinson was buried on Mon
day. The funeral services were held
at the house and were attended by a
large number of mourning friends.
Some of our best agricultural jour
mails advise feeding some wheat with
other grains to horses in the winter,
on account of its being a food which
makes them capable of resisting cold.
Contrary TO the custom of newspa-
pers, The TRIBUNE gave its typos hol
iday. Ifthere is less than the usual a
mount of reading matter in this issue
our PATROLS will know the reason why.
The ball given by the Silver Cornet
Band Christmas evening i'll Berkin's
hall was well attended, as is always
the case when the band gives hop,
the music was excellent. and all thor
oughly enjoyed themselves.
Owing to the banquet and ball to be
given in connection with the INSTALL
alton of officers in Golden Sheaf Lodge
on tomorrow evening, the NJ. @. C.
party intended for Friday evening will
be postponed one week.
The committee of arrangements al
the Christmas tree at the Methodist
church are indebted to DR.. 8. III. Dudley
for a neat collection of toys which
were fully appreciated 10y the children
among whom they were distributed.
A Christmas tree was given in the |
Congregational church on Monday |
evening. There was good attend |
ance, everybody was remembered b. |
Santa Claus and all had good time.
The skating rink is being liberal
so that the ice is kept constantly i:
good condition. The weather too l.
all that could be desired so that ther-
il no reason why skaters should
enjoy themselves.
Hugh Siinson, whose death was re-
corded in last Saturdays TRIBUNE,
was insured in The Peoples Mutual
Benefit Association of Westerville
Ohio for 50 900. This amount will bs
of great service to the family of the de-
ceased, and is a most acceptable token
of his forethoug'it and fatherly care.
Mr.. B. K. Rush and Miss Susan
Holmes were married Yesterday al
the residence of Wm. Dragoo at Viii
lard MINI. They are expected home
this evening. Both bride and groom
are old residents of Morris and have
large circle of friends who now join in
wishing them success and happiness.
Gratified with the success of their
Christmas ball the Silver Cornet Band
has decided to give another i'm Ber-
kin's Hall on New Years evening.
Music will be furnished by the band
which is sufficient guarantee of its
quality. Supper will be served and ev-
cry thing done that is possible for the
enjoyment of those who will attend.
The tickets are selling rapidly.
An elegant music box is to be given
away by Chas. w. Rhone, our wide
awake druggist and news dealer, inn
mediateiy after New Years. Each
person who has purchased holiday
goods ofhim has as many numbers as
he paid dollars for goods. Of course a
great many numbers are out but the
owner of some one of them will be
made happy by drawing the prize.
Mat Diedrich wishes us to state that
he does not intend to leave Morris.
He was the first Dutchman who came {
to Stevens county and it certainly II
would not look well to have him go
away. The stone business i'm Mime 4
apolis has no attractions for him. I'll
in need of wood or coal thugh, you will
always find him on deck in Morris /;
with a good supply. !
The free supper and Christmas tree J,
at the Methodist church on Monday +
evening was attended by large mum
Der. Some very excellent music was
furnished by the orchestra. So greai
0 number were present that socal
music and the more formal part
the programme was dispensed with II
and all had an enjoyable, inforna
social time. 1T was great success.
