Morris tribune., 1884-06-18

Monday night.
| J. E, Danelson left last Saturday
for a business trip to Minneapolis re-
turning yesterday.
Miss Ida Stebbins will spend Tie
summer vacation with her parents in
Utica, Minnesota.
f. j, Woodward visited Mime
apolis and combined pleasure with
business by attending the Musical
| Festival.
Watson & jefferson last Saturday
shipped forty five yearling cattle to Il
stock raising firm in Montana. They
were sold for $40 apiece or for y total
of 100000. The raising of stock is be-
coming an important source ofincome
| to the farmers of our county.
The News Letter of Minneapolis
states that "the dulles are quartered
| at the Nicollet." Search in that To-
cality by orr microscopic reporter
fails to bring to light any Of the pre-
| tentious ones connected with the paper
up the street and we therefore con=
clude the News Letter to be mistaken.
! The farmers in the vicinity of Han
cock appreciate the value of trees and
when they began TO improve their
farms planting q grove OF trees was
about the first thing done. Now fine
groves of forest trees can be seen in all
directions, protecting the homes Of the
farmers from the severe winds of
winter and giving the country home
like, cheerful aspect.
In ting wake Of every circus follows
a large number of pici1-pockets, sneak
thieves, and confidence men for the
purpose of preying upon the unwary.
This is probably true of the circus
and meuagerie which will be here on
Friday. While Sells Bros do all
| they can to protect their patrons from
sharpers the necessity for watchful-
| ness remains and we advise all to he
on their guard.
Martin & Carroll, formerly of Mil
bank, have for some time been at
work in Morris and have expressed
their determination to locate here
permanently. They are competent
painters, decorators and paper hang
ers and will find this a good place for
the display of their energy and skill.
A specimen of their work may be seen
upon the ceiling of the office at the
Metropolitan Hotel.
While on the road from Hancock to
Morris last Friday George Wright's
team became frightened and unman-
ageable and overturned the buggy,
throwing Mr.. Wright, his mother,
sister and wife out into the road
breaking the arm of the latter. Mrs.
Wright was taken to the residence of
E. P. Watson for care and a physician
sent for. She is now doing as we'll as
could be expected under the circum-
stances.
The Metropolitan Hotel has just
been thoroughly and completely re-
noyated, The work although COM
menced in early spring was not COM
pleted until last week. Every carpet
in the house has been taken up and
busted and every room has been
thoroughly cleaned. Many of the
rooms have been newly papered and
much of the woodwork in the build
! ing has been reprinted. New mattings
and carpets have been put down in
the hall and stair ways. An addition
has been made to the kitchen, doub-
ling its capacity and all modern APP
planes and conyeniences have been
| added.
Sank Centre Tribune: Sells Bros
CIRCUS is reality. 1t is the best that
ever exhibited here, and il did itself
honor by being strictly business con-
Germ that was bound to give the people
value for their money with margin
for profits. The geological depart
ment was all that they claimed for it,
and contained many features of in
| terest. The ring was sustained by
artists who are the head of their pro-
fession, and everything moved off
smoothly. There was not any fight
ing or unpleasant incidents and the
highest words of commentator can
be spoken for the great show which
is truly au edHcat;o institution.
Among the immense concourse of
people, WHICH we estimate to be ten
thousand, not Il single word of COM
plant WAS heard, and that is as good
All advertisement as any body wants.
The amount of stock upon the
| Pleasant View Stock farm Is constants
ly increasing and Is being continually
improved. Now there are one hum
dred and fifty five mead of cattle upon
the place, twenty of which are
thorough bred Durhams and one an
imported! Hereford, There are four
hundred and eighty seven sheep, be-
side the lambs. Fifty of them are
thorough bred Merinos and the others
are high grade. The average wool
clip this year was ten pounds. There
are also seventy horses. Twenty of
them are thorough breds. One Of them,
an Imported English Draft horse is as
fine an animal rs there is in the
county. The herd ofseventy thorough
bred Berkshire hogs and pigs is also
worthy of mention. But few if any
finer herds of swine can be found in
tile state. Il. G. Jefferson, the pro-
prietor takes great deal of pride in
his farm and spares no pains or ex-
pense in caring for the place and the
stock upon it. e. p. Watson the
manager, is an energetic and practical
farmer and stock breeder and is meet
ing with remarkable success.
