After that pretty little speech ofhis,
it was very cruel fer the farmers
convention of last Saturday to take
the farmer from Donnelly at his word
when he said he was not a candidate
for delegateship. Some appreclatlVe
gentlemen should have nominated
him, at least.
The entertainment given by the
Morris Minstrels in Phoenix Hall was
we'll attended. Much of the singing
and character acting was very good
and the entertainment exceeded pre-
vious expectations. After all eXpen-
ses were paid there was quite q snug
little sum left to be divided among the
performers.

The retiring Village Council held
at the Recorders office yestef-
day afternoon, finished all old busl-
,ess and turned the affairs of the
village over to the new council. This
council, during the past year, has
worked tremendously and effectively
for the best interests of our village
and are deserving great praise for the
able manner in which they have dis
charged the numerous duties which
have been imposed upon them:
Some one has taken the pains to
write a lengthy and argumentative
letter in answer to Rev. H. Johnson's
of last week regarding high license.
AS we believe the signature attached
to be fictitious one we con not pub
lish the letter. Last week a commu-
nication from Starbuck found q place
ia our waste basket for the same reason
People should understand that all

Olive Branch: J. H. Noyes has
sold his hardware store to John Erick-
son. The purchaser is to well known
as thoroughgoing business man to
need any introduction to our patrons.
His former experience here as part
ner in the firm Of Brevig & Erickson
and later in his own establishment at
Starbuclz, give him ample experience
in the hardware business as well as
an extended acquaintance with the
public, We predict a fair share of
trade for this house under its new
proprietor.
A portion of J. d. Goods double
store is now occupied by Geo. FL.
Munro. Until recently Mr.. Munro
has been doing Il drug BUSINESS i'll st.
Paul, but recognizing the superior ad;
yantages offered for trade here he has
moved his fixtures and stock t,
Morris. His stock arrived last week
and he at once began the wstk Of ar
rangement in the building mentioned
above. His fixtures are costly and at
tractive and his stock Of drugs anC
medicines is complete. He has not
completed the arrangement of III.
goods as yet but the work is sufficient
ly advanced to epable himto serve an!
who call. Mr.. Munro has am saQel
lent location fer business and vii
probably never have reason to regre
having again settled in Morris.
An important meeting Of the new
council was held in the office of tn
