Morris tribune., 1883-10-03

The individual who took Coed u
Brisbine's warehouse trucks away,
can have the cigars nicely set up by
returning them 1T once, as they are OF
constant use i'll the store.
The new jewelry store is now finally
arranged, and Mr.. Woodward has got
! OH fine lot of silver ware, such as
casters, pitchers, butter dishes, cups,
&C., and II handsome lot Of clocks.
The steeple is now occepying large
portion OF the builders time on the
new court house. The windows are
being put in, while the Jail part is re-
ceiving lis several coats of plaster.
There will not be much use i'll teams
driving up to Il. x. Coles Grocery
with the expectation OF hitching to
his awning posts, for he has removed
them, and braced up the covering over
his door SO that it looks quite stylish
and complies with the ordinance,
We have not seen amy Of that "heau-
tiful snow at this point SO far this
season, which is represented to have
slightly covered the face of mother
earth ut other places farther north Of
us; We think it IA little toe Previous
to fail down into OUR Indian Summer.
\. $. Winn, baggage-master at the
depot, WAS married yesterday morn
ing, 10 Mrs. Emma Cole, who had
just arrived from the east. The TRIB-
UNE extends its hearty congratulate
tons to the newly welded pair, and
hope their journey through life may
be long and pleasant one.
L. L. Walters, a farmers living near
| Maudada, in Traverse county, became
intoxicated at Browns Valley, last
Thursday, and in the evening started
| for home with his team, and got stuck
| in a slough. He had unhitched the
| team, leaving the wagon in the slough,
and on last Sunday night he wa
| found dead near 10y.
Not quite, but it came near being
| large fire. There are two coal CRATES
| in the First National Bank, the
hearths having three layers of brick,
and on, Monday evening the fire had
sifted down through to the stringers
upon which the floor is laid, making a
dense smoke i'll the bank, but it was
| soon found and eNtinguished.
The opposing parties in the game
of ball on the Fair grounds, last Fri
day afternoon, had for basis the old
First Nine and the Metropolitans. A
number from each side were absent,
so that the mines bordered on the
"scrub" order. The game, however,
was we'll contested, ending with
score of Il to II, in favor of the Metro
politans.
Our farmers could have lots of pock-
ct change by the more expense each
year of cutting hay, feeding, and shear
ing Il flock of sheep, and at the same
time have plenty of fresh meat for
harvest hands. Forty or fifty good
sheep could he purchased for slight
amount, and for the money invested
in them, they bring n large returns.
The trouble in caring for them is sim
ply nothing. It looks like bad man
agement to see the farmers buying
WOODEN yarns for family use.
i The allowance of postmasters' sala-
ries has been prepared at the post
office department, to go into effect
Oct. l. The allowance is based upon
the new two cent stamp rate provided

the business transacted. The salary
of the Morris post-office is fixed at ST.
500 a year, while the older towns of
Willmar, Litchfield. Wabasha, Glen
coe and New Ulm, are fixed at only
81 400. Shakopee, over twenty-five
years old, has a cheap postmaster at
81, 100, and LIE Sueur, not quite so old,
goes it 500 better and gets 81 200.
Mrs. Jud. Thompson was driving
out with her horse and buggy, and
when near the Rarkins' House corner,
the train came up at the crossing, and
gave several shrill toots, when the
horse jumped around suddenly, tip
| ping the buggy over, throwing her up
on the ground; the horse then gave a
, kick or two. clearing himself from the
/: buggy, and marched off to the stable
: as if nothing had happened. The
: damage was soon repaired, and Mrs
Thompson again took possession O
the reins and was mistress of the stu
l alton, and finished her ride.
