Morris tribune., 1883-07-21
MORRIS.
LOCAL NOTES.

That portion of the park covered by
the thicket of ftamaracks, has become
too dry for the trees, so it has been
considered best to turn it into Lager
beer saloon.
Mr. Nilsson, owner of half of the
block south of Mr.. Larson's fine resi-
dence, is now hauling stone for the
foundation of an elegant dwelling on
his portion of the block.
o. X. Gesme, proprietor of the car
riage and wagon shop, has purchased
two lots in the Morris Addition, upon
one of which he is going to build a re-
sidence between now and the time
snow flies.
The new dwelling house of A. A.
Stone, on the setting-sun-side of the
railroad track, is fast nearing compile
ton, and when it is completed, it will
show what fine taste can accomplish in
the art of building.
The plank walk on fifth street, east
of the Tribune office, is being laid
across the street to connect with that
leading to the old Court house, so
that now, there will be good walk
the whole length of the TRIBUNE
side of the block. Much obliged.
Chas. w. Rohne, has just finished
the four chimneys in his new Drug
Store, and although he has had a large
force of hands at work on it for two
months, it now looks, as if it would
require another month to get it ready
to move into. When finished, it will
have the finest front of all.
If you desire to see somthing hand
some, go and take a look at Good 4
Brisbine's fine stock of furniture. They
have some of the best, finest and
cheapest bedroom sets ever brought to
this market; Walnut finished Bureau,
beadstead, washstand, Rocker, two
chairs, stand, and towel rack, all for
only $500.
A man from Meeker county who
had been out looking at Dakota and
had returned as far as Frisby's Lake
near town, was in his covered wagon
with his horses tied behind, when the
storm of Thursday night struck him;
the wind knocked him around rather
rough, started the wagon for the lake,
but the horses held it back until he
could rescue himself.
The iron for cells in the new Jail has
arrived and will soon be put in posi-
ton, and the trouble and expense of
sending victims off to some other place
for safe keeping will be saved. We
should not think from the appearance
of the material that there will be much
use in any one attempting to break
jail. This hotel will be expensive and
it ought to keep its guest safely. The
cost of the new mansion will be about
$4,000.
Rev. J. P. Hutchison is expected to
preach at Appelton on Sunday, and
will give his lecture, ga Run to Paris, f"
illustrated photographically as well as
rhetorically, Oh Monday evening.
The English papers speak very highly
of the lecture itself but Mr.. III. has
added the picture part since. We
understand that Rev. J. P. Hutchin-
son is to give the same lecture at
Morris on behalf of the parsonage
fund very soon.
The Masonic fraternity of Ortonville,
are to have grand steamboat ex-
cursion up Big Stone Lake next
Wednesday July 25th. The steamer
leaves Ortonville 1915 A. M. and
arrives at Foster some fifteen miles
up the lake at noon, where fine
dinner is to he served at the Foster
House. At five P. M. the boat leaves
Foster, and arrives at Ortonville at
six, in time for supper at the Lake
House. Ball in the evening, at
Ortons opera House.
AS city halls are fashionable and
nice things to have around town, our
city fathers have finally concluded to
erect one in Morris. It will be about
"A go feet, two stories high, frame,
and built of the best material, one
block east of the Central House
Teams are now hauling material on
the ground, and the work is progress
ing as fast as possible; it is to be fin
ished ready to be occupied this fall
The two fire engines will occupy the
first story, and the city council will
go above, no higher however than the
second story at present.
Ifthe amount of lumber and build
ing material coming to and going out
of our three yards, is any indication
of the amount of building there is go
ing on here, and in this vicinity, then
there must bea large amount of it.
The lumber trade at this points much
better if not three times greater than
it has been for the last three years.
New buildings are going up i'm every
direction, within circuit of six and
ten miles, and but few are 50 poor, but
what they are usingm more or less build
ing material, for some kind of inn
provement.
The new walk just laid west of the
First National Bank, toward the rail-
road, will most likely yet tumble some
of it's pations into the ditch at its
eastern terminus, as it begins about
two feet from the culvert running
across the street, and one in dark
night, not knowing the situation at
that end, may accidently tumble into
the ditch, under the presumption
that the coming of the street culvert,
leaves off where the side walk begins.
