JOTu;tn.

Herman last week.
A daughter was added to the family
of Geo. E. Lowater on Saturday last,
Mrs. Poplow has been taken to the
asylum for the insane at st. Peter by
Sheriff Maginnis.
Rev. Father Watry left for ST. Paul
Monday night. The announcements
that he is about to leave Morris is
premature. His departure is thought
of but is not decided upon.
The editor of our Contempory up the
street, after brief journalistic ex-
perience, has discovered what it takes
to run u paper like his own, and de-
dominates it cheek. Why not try
brains?
Another series of four parties has
been inaugurated by the NJ. Q. C's'
The first party in the second series
was given last Friday evening in
Phoenix Hall and was thoroughly en-
joyable. The second will be given on
Friday night of this week.
Geo. III. Munro and family arrived
yesterday. Mr.. Munro has rented a
portion of J. d. Goods double store
and is to put in stock of drugs, medi-
cines etc. This simply shows what
the TRIBUNE has often said that
people afte: once having lived and
transacted business here find it inn
possible to stay away. Mr.. Munro is
we'll and favorable known throughout
the county and his many friends will
be glad to know that he has returned
to Morris and that he has come to stay.
Last Monday morning G. Fl. Allyn
received letter from u friend, G. a.
Moore who is now in Florida. He
writes: II send your wife two or three
orange blossoms. Florida is full of
them. 1 picked oranges yesterday i'll
q grove of 900 trees, all laden with
ripe fruit. Oranges, bananas, pine
apples and roses are growing in rich
profusion everywhere and all is sum-
mer here. 1t is strange to think that
ten days ago was in Minnesota with
temperature 20 below zero.
This land of perpetual summer is
fine to visit but to live in will not COM
pare with our fine bracing climate of
Minnesota" Mr.. Moore finds FLORIDA
an attractive place but still awards
the palm to Minnesota. No place on
the footstool can be found attractive
enough to coax people away from
Minnesota for any length of time.
The Benson Dramatic Company
rendered the play Til Saeters to a
large audience in Phoenix Hall last
Wednesday night. The music was as
good as any heard in Morris for some
time. The scenery and costumes were
attractive. The play was Of in tsrest
to all, even to those who could not
understand the language as the acting
of itself would make the meanin g
quite clear. The ballads were of high
merit and as they were we'll rendered
could be fully appreciated by every
one, as the language of music is the
satpe the world over. The perfor-
nance was followed by social dance
which was enjoyable participated in
nv q large number. The company left
for G,'enwood the ne.t morning where
they rep Gated the performance that
evening. Upon their return to Morris
on Friday a reception was given the
company by Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel
Larson at their residence. The conn
pany left for home Friday night.
On March 1st 1888 Geo. e. Darling
became associated in business with L.
C. Spooner and S. A. FlaheFty and the
firm of Spooner, Darling & Flaherty
was formed. The members of the firm
are men of experience and recognized
ability and the firm has from the first
occupied leading position. By at
tending strictly and intelligently to
the interests Of their numerous clients
they have built up q practice and buis-
ness that is not equalled by Say legal
firm in this part of the state. Those
of our readers who have not had the
pleasure of meeting these gentleman
in a business way no doubt remember
the TRIBUNE's remarks of few
months ago concerning them, and
will fell quite we'll acquainted. Now
Mr.. Darling has again retired from
the firm. Messrs Spooner & Flaherty
continue in business occupying the
offices over the First National Bank,
heretofore occupied by the firm. Mr..
Darling also continues in business and
has moved into and is to occupy offices
over Helgeson & Hanson's store. That
both Messrs. Spooner & Flahesty and
Mr.. Darling will have a prosperous
future the TRIBUNE has no doubt.
We believe this to be leap year.
The tone Of our eXcha nges confirms
this belief. We have divided the num-
Der of the year by four and repeatedly
find there is no remainder. This we
have been taught is conclusive. We
can not however reconcile the fact to
the testimony OF our worthy Clerk Of
the Court. Mr.. Baldwin tells us that
there have been 30 marriages for two
months. The last marriage license
issued was on January It'll and here
we are way long i'll March. Such q
state of affairs III Stevens coun ty
matrimonial circles is unparalleled,
unheard of. We have very high
opinion Of che ladies and have sup
posed that when iefD year rolled
round they would proceed in an ex-
