Jordan Advocate, Patronize home
industries! The country is flooded
with vendors of all kinds of wares,
from n brass tipped, indestructlble
lamp wick, to "the best imported wool
an goods for only fifty cents a yard"
and half dozen times day the front
door is besieged by some person who
is very DESTROYS of a chance of "ta-
king your order for some article which
he eloquently tries to convince you is
indispensable" to you. Patronize
your home dealers and manufacturers
especially when they can give you fair
prices and better article than any of
these itiperant hawkers, and you also
have the satisfaction of knowing who
you are dealing with.
Morris is bound to grow. There can
be no doubt about it. Her supremacy
over other places in this part of the
State is already established and she
will have no difficulty in keeping the
lead. There is enough of capital and
business enterprise concentrated with
in her limits net only to do the bust
ness centering here but to attract still
greater capital and to do still greater
amounts of business. Railway facili-
ties are doing and will continue to Go
much for our thriving village. We
now have two distinct lines of road
and there is an excellent prospect for
two niofG AZ no distant day. The 81.
Cloud and Lake Traverae road will no
doubt be built and a road from Apple
ton through Morris and Fergus Falls
to Fargo, we believe is only a ques-
ton of time. When this is brought
about Morris will have to leave off her
childish village ways and assume the
dignity and proportions of a city.
All located here will have the advan-
tage of competing roads and Compel
ing markets and all that is to be
bought can be purchased at the cheap
est possible rate and all that is to be
sold can be disposed of most advanta-
geously. For these reasons farms
here will be doubly valuable. Persons
of selling out here to go west
and settle at point upon some one
line of railway where they will pc at
the mercy Of q single corporation and
those wishing to purchase real estate
in locality with promising future
should occasionally ponder over these
points.
In recent discourse under the
heading of intellectual strength Rev.
J. P. Hutchinson spoke as follows:
"Intelligence is thing to be desir-
ed. knowledge should be eagerly
coveted, 1t should be sought after as
men dig after hidden treasure. The
INTELLECT needs to be cultivated. 1t re-
quires to be exercised. But let it be
remembered a great intellect can be a
great curse as we'll as q great blessing.
1t can transform a garden into a will
derness and change 2 ssmrnii!!ing plain
into battle field" It can transform
peaceful citizens into yindictive war
riors, and turn the current Of ciyiliza-
ton into stream of bloody warfare.
No one doubts that Napoleon posses
sed noble mind. But his intellectu-
al power has not been u blessing to
Europe. 1t has been curse. What
is wanted is an enlightened conscience
in connection with mental power. In
other words the religion which re-
trains,
There i, one who is presented to us
in the Billie. He keen, cold, smart.
He has a keen perception and im-
mense intellectual power. But ha has
intelligence alone. 'tte has no fe"''""'
y,
1T has died within him. He knows no
sympathy; for the finer chords of his
nature have lost their sensitivcness
and respond 70 ha ahnea. He possess
es intelIigsnee aloie. He does not
love. He knows no pity. He has not
even rernorse. He possesses but one
power, intelligeneeI and that lie pos
sesses in a wonderfully high degree.
