The Board of Trade for the past
wear has been rather inactive. We
hope that under the present organ
ization it will wake up to a life of use
fitness.
Morris is not without its "old est in
habitant" who tells about how much
colder it was in lS-and lS-than it
was two weeks ago but he has very
incredulous audiences.
AS is quite apparent the prefix "semi"
has been knocked out of the head
lines Of this paper with all that the
term implies. 1t can be re-instated at
any time when advertisers and read
els wish It.
The Willard Bulletin is authority
for the statement that $50,S00 worth
of building was done at that town dur
ing the year. Probably not one
fourth of that amount will be done
next year.
The NJ. Q. G. party of last Friday
evening was equally successful and
enjoyable with others in the series in
every particular except numbers. Ow-
ing to the disagreeableness of the
weather the attendance was small.
So much has been said regarding
Mr.. Nelson's bill for opening the Red
Lake Reservation that we copy it in
full. We believe the bill is just one
for both Indians and pale faces and if
honestly administered will prove to
be just what is needed.
FIT. Williams, brother of S. G.
Williams was buried at Donnelly last
Friday. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. J. p. Hutchinson
and were attended by large number
of friends. Golden Sheaf Lodge of
Morris atten led as q body
The directors of the Farmers Mu-
tual Fire Insurance Association are
in session to-day in st. Paul. Hon.
J. D. Good of Morris is in attendance.
The executive committee met yester-
day. Mr.. Good is one of the oldest
directors in the Association.
J. w. Sparkling visited Willmar last
Saturday evening to show the natives |
how to skate. He acquitted himself
very creditably excelling the skating
of all others present. When Will
mar is in need of skill in almost any,
thing it can be supplied from Morris.
Owing to the early frost last fall
much corn did not ripen. For this
reason seed corn will be scarce in the
spring. If you have no corn fit for
planting it will be well for you to
make inquiry for seed corn at once.
You may have to go long way to
find it.
Marshal Messenger: '"rhere was a
man in town one time who thought
him wondrous wise;;" he swore by
all the tabled gods he'd never adver-
tise. His goods were advertised ere
long-and thereby hangs tale-the
ad. was set in nonpareil and headed
"Sherif Sale"
Farmers can do very much work
now that will save time for them next
spring and summer when time is
valuable. A supply of wood for the
year should be cut up ready for use;
seed wheat should be secured and
cleaned and if any farm machinery
be broken now is good time to re-
pair it.
Just before going to press the news
reaches us of the dissolution of the
well known firm of Wolff & Wells.

Chas. W.Rohne's thermometer is
one to be proud of. So far as heard
from none in the State equalled it in
the late downward movement of Their
mometers. Years hence when coolest
inhabitants" meet to talk over old
times and the cold of 1884 it will ena-
BILE the one from Morris to claim a
seat at the head of the table.
