voted to business again.
Please return that revolver. and
oblige the owner.
We have employed fighting editor

Strong Bros, of Graceville, have
made an assignment to j. b. Conner.
The newly elected council hold their
first meeting next Tuesday evening.
We will get daily papers before they
are out of date on and after Monday

An Interesting communication from
Rev. J. p. Hutchinson appears in this
| issue
Rev. +. Leavitt will occupy the
pulpit at the Congregational church
next Sabbath morning.
Teachers wishing to obtain board in
private families during the coming
institute should inform Co. Supt. J. A.
Johnson of the fact at once.
Geo. H. Munro & Co. have very
large assortment of wall paper, neat,
elegant designs. Their samples are
conveniently arranged for inspection
and are we'll worth looking over.
r. E. Leonard returned Wednesday
with one and half car loads of stock
from Leonard Bros farm in Dakota
county for their farm North of town.
The cattle are all of high grade and
will make an excellent nucleus from
which to breed large herd.
The county commissioners meet
next Tuesday and will than open bids
for the building of the new court house
aud Jail. We hope our local mechanics
will be equal to the occasion. Brace
up gentlemen forclos figuring, $4,000
is nice little sum to be paid for work
and Morris workmen should have it.
Don't let some foreign builder get the
job who will erect the buildings pocket
the money and at once depart to spend
it in some less sunny cline.
+. H. Leonard, brother of +. w. and
r. Z. Leonard of this place arrived
from huntsville, Dakota Co. MINI. on
Thursday. He has purchased an in
terest in the farm North of town
owned by f. w. Leonard and will
hereafter assume its management.
The stock from the huntsville farm
has been transferred to this farm and
the work of stock raising will be car
ried on here in real earnest. Dakota
county has lost and Stevens county
gained good farmer.
You need sit up no longer watching
your alarm clock to be sure that it will
go off and awaken you in time for the
train. The day passenger train will
be restored on the Manitoba road on
Monday next and you can travel by
day light. The time of the Browns
Valley train will be changed to con-
meet with the day trains and will be
in Browns Valley over night. The
time card will be the same as it was
in the early winter before the day
train was taken off the road.
E. p. Watson advertises seeders for
sale. This fact is quite significant.
1t means that change has been made
in the management of the the old
Newell farm. Stock raising has sup
planted the all embarrassing policy
and the large amounts of machinery
formerly used are no longer needed.
The same change is being made upon
other farms and is quite important.
1t means that Stevens County will no
longer be dependent upon one product
alone and in case of failure of the wheat
crop will have sometheng else to
subsist upon.
AS Spring approaches the sanitary
condition ofour village again demands
attention. During the winter months
much garbade necessarily accumu-
lates. With the approach of warm
weather these garbage piles not only
become eye-sores to every one but
also prolific sources of disease. 1t be-
comes every citizens duty, therefore,
to see that his premises are promptly
and thoroughly cleaned up and that
every particle Of decayed vegetable or
other matter is removed. Typhoid
fever, diphtheria and kindred diseases
are but the legitimate results of neg
lect in this matter Surely no one
wishes to invite to his home by neg
lect of sanitary laws any zymotic dis
eases.
The sound Of the saw and the ham,
mer is heard in all parts of the city.
Good & Brisbine have large crew at
work pushing their buildings on
toward completion. Another large
crew is at work upon Larson & Nilson's
new store. This building is rapidly
assuming from and will be ready for
occupancy in short time. AT F. E.
Newell's still others are at work. An
addition to his store 16x24 which will
be used as ware house and store
room is being put up. Work too has
been commenced upon the creamery
building. This building is being put
up ON Atlantic Ave. North near the
track of the Little Falls & Dakota rail-
way. Work was commenced On Thurs
day morning. Ice is being packed
and by May 1st butter from the Morris
creamery will be in the market.
Work too will soon be commenced
upon the new county buildings.
Morris is lively. Carpenters are all
| busy and there is work for more. Of
course an active trade will be carried
on during the coming season or so
