The rain storm of last Saturday
night was so severe that the work of
seeding has been impeded. If present
indications for good weather do not
prove false, work will soon be i'll full
progress again. Farmers who finished
seeding before the late storm are for
tunate.
Are there to be open air concerts by
the band this summer? Morris has
as good band as there is in this part
of the state, and her citizens ought
surely to show their appreciation OF
the fact by offering some inducement
for the band to play, in the way of a
monetary consideration.
DIR. A. c. GreeDlee writes to inform
the TRIBUNE readers that he will be
in Morris on May Sth, but that he can
not remain longer than one week. DR..
Greenlee is good workman, is per-
fectly reliable in every way and those
in need of dental work should call bear
in mind the time of his coming and
call upon him as soon after his arrival
as possible.
Rev T. G. Hudson has for the time
being given up his evening appoint
ments at Hancock, and hereafter there
will be service each Sunday evening
in the Episcopal church at this place.
There was no service last Sunday
evening because the wind blew such a
gale that a fire could not be built in
the furnace and it was found impossi-
bic to warm the church.
Frank G. Smith, the Manatoba
"Lightning Singer" who has presid-
ed at the desk in the office of the rail-
road company here for the last two
years, took his departure yesterday
afternoon for Grand Forks, to which
place he has been assigned as Tele-
graph operator. Frank possesses all
the qualities of the great family from
which he takes his name, being kind
hearted, genial and always gentle
manly, never considering it "cross''
to give all necessary information in
his line. During his stay in Morris
he has made host of friends and all
will regret his being removed. We
congratulate the thriving town of
Grand Forks upon securing his SER
vices.
We fear that not enough interest
is being taken in the planting of shade
trees. Nothing adds more to the ap-
pearance of a city or makes one appear
homelike and inviting than trees and
shrubbery, and no place needs these
ornaments more than Morris does. 1t
is true quite large numbers of trees
have been planted and are now grow
ing thriftily, but our village needs
thousands more. Each street in the
residence portion of the town should
contain row of trees, and no dwell
ing should have its surroundings left
without this simple adornment. Tree
planting time is near at hand and we
hope each citizen of Morris will give
this matter prompt and active atten-
ton. i.
Yesterday morning a horse attached
to an open buggy, was left standing
unhitched in front of Larson & Nilson's
dry goods house, when some boys
came along and wishing to see some
fun, as boys generally do, and at the
same time give one of the carriage
makers job, got up a fright, when
the animal lit out down Atlantic Ave-
nue. and only for the timely interior
ence of a young man "fleet of foot u
who caught the lines and run him into
the mud hole opposite the lower ele.
vator, there would have been gen.
eral smash up. That's right, gentle
men, leave your teams around loose
in the streets in order that the TRIB.
UNE reporter may have more local
work to perform. He enjoys hugely q
brisk runaway and likes to see the
slivers fly.
