One of the guests at the Perkins
House who was in more haste than
was good for him walked off with the
proprietors hat one morning this
week. The dust has not settled in
that house yet.
1t is rumored that Good 4 Brisbine
are about to put in complete stock
of dry goods. If they do this, will the
man who successfully worked out the
Is, 15, IA puzzle hunt up some line of
goods that this enterprising firm do
not carry.
An order has just been given for an
elegant desk by the Metropolitan
Hotel which will be completed in
about sixty days. Quite number of
the business firms of Morris will be
represented in the advertising cards
it will contain and among them the
TRIBUNE.
The busines men OF Morris are now
sharing the work of editing the TRIB-
GSE quite largely, but as their object
is to help our readers by explaining
where the best goods and prices are
to be found, we submit gracefully to
having the work of filling up of so
much space taken out of our hands.
A valuable accession to the business
interests of the Browns Valley Bank
has been made in the person of Gilbert
NJ. Broo IS, an experienced banker of
indianapolis, Indiana. Mr.. Brooks,
comes highly recommended and all
business entrusted to the new firm will
receive the same prompt attention
which has heretofore characterize! the
Browns Valley Bank. Gilbert NJ.
Brooks will hereafter be President
and W. L. Todd Cashier.
Numerous improvements have just
been completed at Berkin's Billiard
Hall. New shelves and other furni-
ture has been added and the whole
interior of the building polished up as
bright as one of the nickles we hear so
much about. There is also a change
in the firm. B. III. Johnson for long
time one of the clerks in the house
has purchased an interest and the
business will hereafter be carried on |
by "Berkin & Johnson
AS we have observed many times
before, there is nothing that adds
more to the beauty and value of re-
sidence property than shade and orna- |
mental trees. There are many places |
in town which need them, that look |
bare and unattractive now and which |
could be made to appear quite the re-
verse by the expenditure of a very |
little time and money in this direc-
tion, and we hope, before the tree
planting season closes to be able to re-
port the planting of a great number of
trees. Quite number of residents
are busy now beautifiing their grounds
and many others should be.
After considerable searching we sue
ceeded in finding where the village
fire apparatus is. The hooks and
ladders have been deposited upon the
right Of way behind the barber shop,
and the old engine is in the old ingine
house in front of which is wood pile
and "a mud hole which of course will
expedite(?) matters in case the engine
is needed. The new engine is in the
shed between Miss Kellogg's Milli-
merry store and the round elevator.
In case of a fire this apparatus could
probably be collected and made ready
for work before the entire town was
burned if the wind did not blow too
hard. This state of affairs will doubt
less remain as it is until the council
provide suitable engir house.
