MORRIS.
LOCAL NOTES.

The Central House was purchased
by J. d. Good to-day.
1t is criminal offense to allow
mustard to go to seed.
People enthused more over the eat
ables than over the orations of the
Fourth.
Fire crackers and "sich" sold well
Wednesday. Morris dealers sold all
they had.
Local ticket sales at the depot here
amounted to $1SS.1O on the day We
celebrated.
One hundred and two excursion
tickets from Morris to Willard were
sold on the Fourth.
James O'Malley has been called
upon to make another entry in the
family bible. It's boy.
A little girl has arrived at Herman
who will hereafter brighten the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Wells.
An important arrival was chroni-
cled at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. l..
H. Stanton this week. It's girl.
Morris manipulators of toy pistols
and fire crackers are no good. We
have not a single accident to report.
About $50 was cleared at the picnic
on the grounds at the Catholic church
on Wednesday. This means a new
ence.
The Morris base ball club do not feel
very badly about the defeat of the
Fourth. 1t is the first game they have
ost in four years.
If there is any mustard upon your
farm it shold be destroyed at once.
Soon the seed will be matured sutfi-
GENTLY to grow, when it will be too
late.
Wonder if VIM. Dragoo is not to
blame for enticiDg so many of the
people of Morris to Willard to celebrate!
AS all had good time, however, none
seem to blame him any.
Road carts are quite popular this
season and are rapidly coming into
general use. L. III. Stanton, Rev. F.
Watry and DIR. H. L. Hulburd have
each recently purchased one of these
light vehicles.
III. II. Wells returned from Evans
vile last night. The loss in Wells
Bros store in the recent fire is about
$1,000. Between $4,000 and 5000
worth of goods was saved. The store
was we'll insured.
The Glenwood papers last week did
valiant service in advertising the
Fourth of July celebration it Willard
We suppose that the people of Willard
are as entirely welcome to it as they
would have been, had the good services
been intended.
On Sunday (to-morrow) at thu
Congregational church the Rev. J
P. Hutchinson will preach at half pas
ten in the morning and at eight in thu
evening. The subject in the mornin,
will be Unanswered Prayer, in tn
evening "True Liberty"
A. DeKay.and family, H. B. Wolf
and family, T. F. Shipherd and wife
the Misses Spooner, A. A. Stone an,
family, Hon. and Mrs. H. w. Stone
Mrs. WI. Munro and Mrs. E. w
Randall were among those who pic
niced at Foss' Lake on Wednesday
Of course the fish suffered.
That new sidewalk on the northwes
side of lot II, block 1, village of Morris
is nice one The work has. beer
done very promptly, and credit should
be given to those deserving it'll,
village council. We respectfully in
vite the sidewalk committee to call a
the TRIBUNE Office on any rainy day
via said sidewalk, and Well "set ZEN
up" in right royal style,-on the new
sidewalk.
The proof readers began celebrating
a little too early for the good o
Wednesdays issue and after the hur
rahs had died away was not LITTLE
chagrined to find that the typo, in the
remark about the sidewalk committee
had trans formed Honorable body
into "horable body" Such mistake
are horrible, but if the sidewalk is no
laid soon people will begin to think tn
typo excursable.
J. r. Perkins has become one of tn,
host of machine agents. AS in othe
kinds of business in which he has beef
engaged, Mr.. Perkins has gone in t.
win. He has begun right, that is h
has the agency for number ma
chimes, the Champion binders AM
movers, and will of course end right
Now if in need of machinery, farmer
should remember that Mr.. Perkill
has machinery in the market and Civ
him call.
Dryden & Stephens gave it up
They have MT the sand the TRIBUN1
gave them credit for. Because tn
bakery did not pay big profit tn
moment it was opened the boys shu
up shop and have moved on to fresl
fields We believe that with q littl
perseverance they might have bull
up good business. There is now
chance for some other energetic bake
to build ups business in the place the,
have deserted.
Another person has begun bushes

Carthy. The place is on Fifth st. an
is will hereafter be known as the E1
celsior Confectionery. It is intende
to keep complete stock of confectioI
cry, canned goods, cigars, and fruits
