much to call attention to the attrac-
tions of Morris, as the Ideals have
done, our city would boom worse than

Morris merchants are right on hand
with large stocks of new goods for the
season that is now opening. Farmers

can such immense amounts of goods
be found to select from. Lively COM

est possible point.

Young America don't propose to get
left. The Morris Ideals have attract
ed considerable attention and devel-
oped considerable of local talent
among the young men of the place.
A number of boys, too youthful to be
eligible to membership have organ
lied themselves into another compa-
ny, dubbed themselves "Young Ameri-
can Burnt Cork Minstrels," and ex-
pect to be upon the boards in a short
time. They are practising about all
the time there is. We no doubt will
hear from them Thursday, April 5.
C. F. Washburn's latest is some
thing peculiar. He has advertised all
of his property to be sold on Wednes-
day, April 10th, at Maudada, at public
auction. The proceeds are to be used
in paying the creditors of the late
Bank of Herman. The selling of his
property-steambo lots, buildings,
farms, office and fxtures-for the pur-
pose of paying his creditors is credita-
bic in the extreme, but his offering his
clothes, oyercoat, boots and shoes,
shirts, etc., with the rest, borders on
affectation and makes people wonder
what Washburn will be up to next.
Morris merchants are progressive.
They are ever ready to make improve
ments, enlarge their stores and in
crease their stock and are always UP
to if net in advance of the demands of
trade upon them. Another evidence
of this fact is found in Improvements
just completed in Helgeson d Hanson's
store. Additional shelving has been
put in and distinct portion of their
store fitted up to contain their new
and complete line of boots and shoes.
They have always kept boots and
shoes but never before have they had
so complete stock as now. Hereaf- !
ter this department of their store will
receive an important part of their at
tention.
Clover improves the. soil in two
ways. 1t has a large root running to a
great depth in the earth, and collect
ing the mineral elements from the
sub-soil below the depth reached by
ordinary crops, and these are depos-
tied in the roots which rot in the up
per soil. More than half of a mature
clover plant, by weight, is under
ground. No other crop shades the
ground so perfectly as this, and a soil |
kept damp and dark always accumu-
lates ammonia, which is an important |
element of fertility Indiana Farmer.
