Morris tribune., 1884-03-26

Elsewhere in this issue is publlsheo
letter written by II "Stevens County
Farmer" which is we'll worthy OF al,
tention because of the many souiio
practical ideas advanced. The person
who wrote it understands Thoroughly
the questions at issue between the
farmer and his enemies. We 40 ho'
profess to be Yankee but we thihk
we can read between the lines some OF
the characteristics of l.. r. Pearce ana
were we to guess in regard to the
authorship we should attribute the
writing of the letter to him.
Here is lacomic from the Monte
video Leader:
Good cheap land as basis to start
with, good water and good healthy
climate; good schools churches ana So
ciety good market, good roads ana
good bridges; good railroad postal ana
telegraph service; good state, local
and munipical government. Ihese
and q score of other advantages are
secured to the men who come here
with the disposition to earn ana po-
ssess a home and competency.

GlenwOod.

The snow blockade on the II. II.
track has prevented news reports
from this burg. No news of lmpor-
lance to report The Town meeting
voted for license for the first time for
years, whenever the question was
submitted. 1t was held on the notable
national day March the 4th. 1t was a
blizzardy day. 81 votes were cast, all
outside the village plat. The day fol-
lowing an old settler and sot got very
drunk. He did not know the way
home, but staggered on northWet,
fell in snow drift, mile out, and
would have persisted had he not been
discovered, picked up and brought
back to town. His two sOns-1n-laW
were in similar fix, and other men
also. Thus they celebrated the license
triumph! Scott of the Press is about
selling out the concern, on account of
i'll health, that is caused by long con-
finement to the business. The G. A.
R. and Masquerade ball, have cost
many a poor fellow money hard to
spare for mere pleasure, useless and
questionable. l..

ArhOr Day.

Arbor Day will be observed in nu-
merous places in the state this year
and should be observed in Morris.
This is u prairie Village and there are
40 trees here but What have been
planted by residents, That the APP
nearance Of Morris would be greatly
improved by planting rows of trees
along each street in the residence por-
lions of town and about all residences
and public buildings where trees have
not already been planted is fact too
apparent to need discussion. Many
of our citizens have already made
their residences attractive with shrubs
and trees but there are many others
who have not done SO and rows OF
trees along the streets are much more
scarce than they ought to be. 1t
| would be an excellent thing if the
bushes men will close their DOORS on
May LIST. as will be done in some other
places, and all devote the day to the
planting of trees. Let the business
energy of Morris be expended in this
way for one day and the result will be
astonishing. IN 10 way could the day
be spent that will accomplish mols III
advancing the worth of property than
this,

Village Library.

For number of years a tax has
been levied and COLLECTED here for a
village library. There is now q bal
ance in the county treasury of $4,000
for this fund and if we are correctly
informed over 100000 has been turned
over to Village Treasurer. With this
amount of money collected for the
purpose we ought to have q library.
The TRIBUNE respectfully calls the at
tention of the Council 20 this matter
and suggests that they take the nee-
essary steps to secure suitable books,
library room and such other things
as may be needed. A library proper
w managed, would be of great benefit
TO the village and we hope the council
will give the matter their attention,
The next state Fair is to be held al
Owatonna. This Ia q good location
but a place between st. Paul aHd Min
neapolis would have been better.

J. Berkin is about to return to Morris
to remain permanently. He has pur-
chased the interest of Mr.. Johnson,
his partner, in the saloon here and will
hereafter give his personal attention
to the business. Mr., johnson intends
opening a saloon in Fergus Fails;
Mr.. Berkin will leave his saloon at
Milbank under the management of
Theodore Anderson.
Darlington Phelps struck the key
note to the solution Of difficulties
which surround the farmer and stand
in the way of his prosperity, when, in
the farmers convention at st. Paul
! last week, he advocated the raising OF
stock. The millers and elevator men
can not grade stock number 3, soft
and if the railroads charge eAolbit9nt-
ly for freight cattle can easily be COLI
| lected into droves and driven to mark
| ct.
The State Teachers Institute will
open at the school house next Monday
and continue during the week. The
| Institute will be under the manage
ment of Supt, Johnson. Prof. T. J.
| Gray and Prof. J. FL. Gates are to be
the instructors. The work will be adj
apted to the needs of the teachers of
the county and will be practical in its
nature. No teacher in the county
should fail to attend.
On Monday of this week o. X.
Gesme bought Charles Olson's wagon
and carriage shop with the stock it
contained. Combining this newly
purchased material with the stock in
his old shop, Mr.. Gesme has one ofthe
most complete wagon and carriage
shops in this part of the state. He
has also large stock ready fer sale,
especially in wagons, carriages and
harrOws.
Tt is rumored that w. w. Griswold
is about to leave Morris to make his
| home permanently in st Paul. Mr..
Griswold is one of the oldest settlers
in the county and has always beeF 9n2 e
of the foremost, leading citizens. His
departure would be q great loss to
county and village and we hope the
rumor, which seems to be we'll founded
may prove to be the result of some
ones imagination.
