extended visit to his parents i'll St
Paul.
WA NTED: Two competent girl:
atthe Metropolitan Hotel immedi
ateiy.
This fr'gidity is but a precursor OF
Eli Perkins who is coming down
from the Northwest.
If Eli Perkins is respomsible for, the
expression, "Get there, Eli" lie should
be boycotted.
C.H. Allyn is recording agent fol
the Continental Insurance Company
of New York. When in need of insur-
ance remember this item.
y communicable has been received
from Rev. J. p. Hutchinson which
for lack Of space we cannot publish
till next Wednesday.
Taking account of stock and figu--
ing ~ the profits for the year has
been the work of the business houses
this week.
In this issue we copy a little poem
from the Lyon Co. News which sug-
gests way to sell goods during hard
times. If any of our merchants find
trade dull we call their attention to it.
The price of wood has been put
down scots per cord in st. Paul, but it
is still scots per cord higher there
than in Morris. If Morris is a prairie
city there are places more unfortunate
in regard TO fuel,
Catching on to passing sleighs for
ride is Il favorite amusein ent with the
small boys about town but ism danger
Gus practice and may result disas-
trously 10 some of them one of these
days.
Tomorrow morning at 1880 at the
Congregations church Rev. j. p.
Hutchinson will deliver discourse
ols"kin-s Counsel" and in the even
ing at "Our Chosen Inheritance
All are invited to attend.
Township clerks should remember
that the time Is at hand when they
are required to make their reports Of
births and deaths for the past year.
Parents should also remember that
the law requires them to give notice
to said clerks, of births and deaths,
in their families, and provides by way
of penalty for the failure to do so with
in thirty dav5 after the occurrence of
either event, = fine not to exceed
twenty dollars.
Times are little dull, but if any of
our citizens think Of lettering them
selves by going elsewhere they are
making a serious mistake. Times are
a little dull now that prices of farm
produce are low and the weather in
tenseiy cold but times are much dull
Der elsewhere. But few localities are
as highly favored as this. Those who
have tried leaving are only too glad to
get back. AS Mr.. Helgeson said,
morris is q hard place to stay away
from after having once enjoyed its adj
vantages."
Yesterday morning all ordinary
thermometers got down as far as pos
sible and after exhausting their capac-.
ity gave up in despair all idea of re-
cording the extent of the prevalent
chilliness. The spirit thermometer at
c.. w. Rohne's drug store indicated SIS
below, while the one at the depot
went two degrees lower. Fifty-seven
degrees below zero is not very bad but
is about as low as the temperature ev-
er goes in this land of sunny skies and
golden sheaves.
There are now thirteen grocery
stores in town. If any kind Of BUSH
ness is overdone it is that of groceries.
For this reason Good & Brisbine have
con cluded to close out their stock of
groceries and put in another class of
goods in its place. By noticing their
advertisements in this issue it will be
seen that they will Immediately close
out their entire stock of the various
kinds Of groceries to make room for
other goods. This means cheap grocer
les as long as their stock lasts and per-
sons needing any Of them will find
this an excellent opportunity for buy
ing.
The dance given by the Morris
Cornet Band on Tuesday evening was
very successful one. Music was ex-
cellent and the hall was filled with
merry dancers. The dance given by
the Y. M. C's was hardly as success
full and as but few were present the
party finally adjourned to join in the
dance given by the band. We like to
seeienterprises undertaken blythe band
successful as the expenses of the or
ganization are heavy and parties like
the one of Tuesday help to tighten the
burden. 81
Nine saloon licenses have been
granted in Willmar for the coming
year.
