MORRIS.
LOCAL NOTES.

olllCeIS CuOSeH ny Une f1HueA Il Ire
Company have been approved by the
council.
Maginnis and Callahan lost two
notes last Thursday. Be careful not
to buy them.
The fire company meets to night for
parade at o'clock. Let every MEM
Der be promptly ON hand.
A car load of horses passed through
here Thursday night consigned to
Graceville where they are to be sold.
The Graceville base ballists were un-
able to come to Morris yesterday,
hence the expected game did not take
place.
Service will be held tomorrow as
usual in the Congregational Church,
in the morning at 10 80 in the evening
at S o'clock. All are welcome.
Machinery men are now having a
busy time. Machines are being set up,
delivered and started and experts, F."
of course, must be stubbing round.
Arrangements have been completed
for lecture here on Aug. 18th by Rev.
I. Dewitt Talmage. We will be able
to announce the particulars soon.
The delinquent tax list encroaches
upon our space so greatly that much
of interest is necessarily omitted. The
tax list infiiction however will soon
be over.
1t is true that you can now draw a
bank check without two cent stamp,
but it is still necessary that you have
stamps in the bank. Further legis-
lation is needed.
We are glad to notice so many
farmers at work pulling mustard.
We are glad too that there are farmers
who are compelling their neighbors to
do the same thing. A man should
protect himself by seeing that the
pest is not allowed to spread upon
neighboring farms as we'll as by pull
ing the weed at home.
A burly tramp of the worst type
made his appearance on Tuesday and
attracted considerable attention by
entering quite number of business
houses in town and heaping the NEST
fulsome abuse, promiscuously upon
all he happened to meet. In his per-
ambulation however he encountered
the Marshal when his tramping sud-
denly ceased till next morning when
he was given fiteeo minutes in which
to leave the town.
Thursday morning a challenge from
Willmar base ball club was received
by the Captain of the Morris nine for
a game in the near future. After a
short correspondence game was de-
cided upon for this forenoon. The
Willmar nine will arrive on this morn
ing passenger train and the game
will be called at 10 o'clock upon the
grounds near the residence of J. M.
Thompson. Those interested in the
national game should not fail to see
this contest for good playing is ex-
pected from both sides.
We have been requested to state that
a Methodist Camp Meeting Of the
Northwest, under the supervision of
Supt. Whitfield and Elder Hartsough,
will be held on the west shore of Big
Stone Lake, two miles from Big Stone
City, Oak, July oath to 30th, 1888.
The new steam yacht ''Big Stone, !"
will make hourly trips in connection
with. the camp meeting from Big
Stone City. This beautiful Camp
Ground is situated in a large grove of
magnificent native trees, numerous
living springs of pure water-bOth
fresh and mineral-on the grounds,
and everything that nature can fur
nish to make the spot attractive.
Maginnis & Callahan did not under
take the work of the Walter A. Woods
harvesting machinery agency until
the season was quite well advanced
and did not expect a great amount of
business this season. In this however
they bave been agreeably sur
prised. The record of the machines
and the straight forward way of deal
ing of the men handling them has
brought in large amount of trade
and nearly all the machines in stock
have been sold. The rapid sales and
large amount of business done by this
energetic firm is surely quite crafty
ing and shows that good machines
can always be sold by reliable men.
Not long ago L. III. Stanton adver-
tised for calves stating that he would
pay the highest cash price. He in
fn.lnes us that he finds it difficult to
purchase any young stock as farmers
who have calves prefer to keep them.
This shows that a marked change has
taken place since last year. Last
season any number of calves could be
bought at very low figures and veal
was plentiful. Now as the above
would indicate the reverse is true.
This means that farmers are giving
stock attention as well as grain and
that calves instead of being sold or
killed are being reared. The change
is for the better, and is indicative of
greater prosperity in the future for
Stevens County farmers.
