The worst of all men in any COM
are the croakers. We regret |
to say that Morris is afflicted with a
few of them. They have made their
presence felt lately,in most offensive |
and injurious way. Men have come |
here with the intention of buying
farms and locating in this vicinity
and these croakers by false statements
and misrepresentation have caused |
them to leave and seek homes else
where. If instead of enlarging upon |
difficulties, all who pre-
tend to be interested here would under |
ali circumstances be truthful, tell
:
new Corners of our rich and productive
soil our healthful and invigorating cli-
mate, our market and transportation
facilities, our church, school, and many |
other advantages, all who visit this
locality would be pleased with it and
the population and wealth of Morris
and Stevens county would be rapidly
and materially increased. Suppress
the croakers.
