1.-THE city fathers have any influence
with our street commissioner, they
should induce him to drain that green
scum pond in the street at the east end
of the First National Bank.

this place and work will begin inn
mediately ON the new structure.
The Cornet band gave an open air
concert from the band stand Saturday

showed that the band is composed of
musicians who are each master of the
situation.
There is to be lawn sociable Friday
evening upon the lawn of FL. III. Wells
under the direction of the ladies
of the Congregationalist church.
Ample preparations for the entertain
ment of the guests has been made and
all are cordially invited.
County Auditor Heenan has the
agency for all railroad lands in Stew
ems and Traverse counties as well as
in the village of Morris. All parties
wishing land of the railroad company
can purchase as well of him as at the
general office in ST. Paul.
DC. Smith has the agency for the
Weir plows at this place with an office
at E. J. Jones & Sons lumber yard.
Mr.. Smith is practical, successful
farmer and can recommend these
plows from his own experience with
them. Notice his advertisement.
Grain is looking unusually well.
In one field noticed upon Mr..
Wunsch's farm the wheat stood AZ
feet high and some of the heads
measured were6 inches long. If
weather is favorable while the grain
is maturing a good crop is assured.
The cyclones, wind and hail storms,
have given Morris and it's vicinity the
grand go by, which is convincing, in
these days of destructive elements
from above, we are in a favored To-
cation. We have plenty of room for
all, who are seeking a shelter ofsafety. |
A few localities south and west of
town suffered more or less from hail
last Friday evening. Grain upon d.
G.. Smiths farm was injured some
what and the crop upon Howard
Libby's farm was about a destroyed.
The former is insured while the latter.
is not.
G. w. Comstock has flock of IS
sheep which he wishes to sell now as
he has not facilities for properly caring
for them. He offers them reasonably
SO that this is an excellent opportunity
for some farmers to make a beginning
in that important industry-sheep
raising.
Morris has not only plenty of capital
for two banks, for its own convenience,
but has a surplus of $4,000, to plant
a bank at Herman i'm Grant county up
the road. And this is not all, Morris
manufactured the brick to build it
with, and still, we are not proud, if
we are rich.
The Paymaster came up last Monday,
and made the occasion still more hila-
rious by paying off the kids on the
Little Falls & Dakota road. In the
evening, he arranged his back hair for
square meal at the Metropolitan, and
farther along, he mounted his cart and
rode out Of town.
Ansley Gray, well know throughout
Dakota Territory, who is delivering
temperance lectures, got on a big
drunk, the other day at Albany Mo-
Elk. This is the same one who de-
Iivered one of his fine intellectual
brain productions here in Morris last
winter, at the Congregational Church,
and was considered . giant in his line.
His friends should not feel discouraged
Of fl,is little diviafiOn of a sbie drunk |
