: Mr.. Bemis recently received an
) empty Grated tin can from Chicago by
freight which weighed 60lbs. The
r freight from Chicago to st, Paul was
60cts. while from st. Paul to Morris
the charges were 81 cts. Just what
} there is about an empty oil can that
causes the Manitoba road to charge a
q double first class freight rate upon
1T, it is difficult to tell. 1t is useless
to call such charges mistakes" be-
cause, so far as we are able to learn,
the officials of the road never make
corrections.
The Morris SILVER Cornet Band has
leased the roller rink. AT present 1t
will be open to the public only on
Saturday ev enings. Whenever 1t is
open, the full band will be present
to furnish their patrons with good
music and help everybody to have a
good time. The rink was first opened
under the new management last Sat-
urday evening and there was a good
attendance. Next Saturday evening
it will be open again and doubtless a
large number will improve the OPP;
portunity to renew their acquaint-
ance with the recalcitraHt rollers.
Later in the season the rink Will be
opened oftener.
The young people ofthe Methodist
church propose to have Literary
Society this winter and met last eve:i-
ing at the residence of Rev. b. Phelps
for the purpose oforganization. They
Will study the history and works of
American authors, principally.
Music will be prominent feature at
all their meetings. Although the So
ciety is being formed by members of
the Methodist church, 1t is not the in
tention to be exclusive and all who
have taste for literary work are asked
| to join with them. The formation of
the society is an excellent thing and
will furnish means for pleasant and
profitable recreation. A public enter
talnment is already contemplated.
Persons sending items for publlca-
| ton should bear in mind that they
must invariably keep the truth on
their side. We don't care to SANDER
anybody and never have knowingly
! done so. The truth is not SANDER
and newspaper has legal right to
publish anything about person, or
charge church deacon with stoning
his grandmother, unless it be done
by reason of malice, if the accusations
can be proved by competent and re-
liable witnesses. A harmless joke
on person who will take it in good
part is spice for a newspaper, but ma
lIeious slurs and dirty insinuations
without the necessary proof to back
them, we don't want for love nor
money.-Ex.
Andrew Satter has fitted up the
building next to his Farmers Hotel"
and has put in stock of groceries.
Mr.. Satter takes hold of this business
more for the benefit pfhis boys, than
himself. The beginning is not large
one but as the young men become ac-
customed to work of this kind, the
stock will be increased. It is inten-
ded eventually to occupy a larger
store and do a large business. Mr..
Satter has business ability as we'll as
the necessary funds and will make
the venture success. Meanwhile it
may be we'll 70 give MIR. satter 2 call
and see what he has to offer. Some.
times these smaller stores do remark
ably well by customers, both in prices
and in the quality Of goods,
A very pleasant companyof friends.
