Morris is booming and is rapidly
putting on more and more of metro
politan airs. The latest advance is
the establishment of chinese landry,
Mr.. Quong Lung visited Morris on
Monday and was SO much pleased
witt. the place that he rented build
ing and will open laundry at once.
Quong Lung and his brother Sam
Lung have laundry at Saltwater and
one at Hastings so that they are en-
gagged in the laundry business quite
extensively. The building rented for
their Morris laundry is the one occu-
pied by Good & Brisbine during the
past winter, on the corner of Atlantic
Ave. and Fifth st. The necessary
equipments have been sent for and by
the first of the week Quong Lung will
be on deck for business.
Last week dead beats seemed to
abound. First appeared the blind
man. OF course he was soldier-all
blind, beggars were soidiers--and
could grasp the liberal citizens of
Morris by the hand, tell his well
learned pitiful story, get five dollar
bill more or less and then HE away
and take in as many straight WHISTLES
as any of those who hang around the
Morris saloons regularly. Then came
the poor woman with the child she no
doubt borrowed for the occasion who
Z not only visited all the business men
but went sniyeling from house to house |
begging from many who are less ableto
earn bread than herself and then |
passed on to pastures new. Besides /
thesethere were more than an ordinary
number of less rretentious tranlps, /
None Of them were deserving of syln-
pathy and in many cases We are glad
to state did not get il. All who give
to such worthless specimens Of human
ity, are but encouraging dissipation
idleness and beggary. There are
many worthy poor and those who
have to give should remember them
in preference to these professional
dead beats.
Removed!
The TRIBUNE Office has been moved
to the new TRIBUNE building on Fifth
street where we shall hereafter be
pleased corrective and serve aIlold and
new friends. RANDALL & BoDEEN.
