Morris tribune., 1883-09-29

Strangers visiting town invariably
express surprise at the size, beauty
number of business, residence and
public buildings. Among the number
which attracts admiring glances is
Larson & Wilson's new store. This
structure is large, neatly designed
and elegantly furnished. 1t is also
pleasant and attractive and as it is
well lighted the large and we'll selected
stock of goods it contains always
shows otto advantage.
The Stevens county court house is
now enclosed and now the work of
completion will progress rapidly.
From the bottom of the foundation to
the top of the cupola the work of erect
ion has been we'll done and the struct-
ure is solid and substantial. 1t has
also an imposing appearance and when
finished will be beautiful. Mr.. Whit
temore had four story reputation as
builder when he came here but in
this work he is winning fresh laurels.
Another thing about this building
over which we all feel SO proud is that
Morris produced the brick of which
the structure is made.
We suggest the formation of a circle
of the association knows as the Chau-
tauoua University in Norris. Organ
iZations like this and similar charac-
ter and objects have been formed i'll
many other places in the state and are
meeting with general favor. The ad-
vatage of the Chautanqua plan over
other literary societies is that it has
systematic of reading and study,
and that members utilize the oppor-
tunities it offers make rapid intellect
ual progress, besides enjoying social
privileges of higher order. Most
people in Morris could find sufficient
leisure to successfully pursue the
work of such an organization and
would he greatly benefited by it.
| We have often stated that Morris
gets large amount of trade from the
people of surroundings towns who
come here because they can have
larger amounts of goods to select from
and have the benefit of lower prices
than home figures. One of the stores
which attract much of this out side
trade is that of Wolff & Wells. They
have mammoth double store which
is ALWAYS full to over flowing will
stable and fancy dry goods, notions
ready made clothing, gents furnishing
goods, boots and shoes, hats, caps
groceries, crockery etc, Doubtles:
many strangers as we'll as residents
of the county will be in town to-da.
and we invite the attention of all t(
this immense store. Morris is proW
of it.

amounts of capital contracted within
