ferson, of st. Paul, is arranging TO
stock two large farms in this county.
One of these farms is in Cherry Grove,
on which he has just erected tine
barn thirty-two by seventy feet; the
other farm is i'm Nasa, on which he is
erecting barn thirty by fifty-two
feet. These farms will be model stock
farms, with the very finest grades OF
stock
Maj. Camp of Minneapolis who has
recently purchased about 400 acres OF
land in the town of Scott is now busy
making Improvements. He has con-
siderable land broken ready for crop
next year and fine farm buildings are
now being erected. Ten carpenters
are at work and about fifteen car
loads of lumber will be used. This
farm will soon be among the most
valuable ones in the country.
D. w. Watson has sold his livery
barn and stock to Z. A. Atwood and
contemplates leaving Morris. Mr..
Watson has an intimate acquaintance
of the people and lands i'll this and
adjoining counties, and there are nu-
merous kinds of business in which he
could profitably engage. His many
friends would like to see him I'M
prove some of the business openings
here and conclude to stay among us.
Charles Wilson is devotlng his time
and capital exclusively to the trade
in clothing and gents furnishing
goods and is preparing to make things
lively all along the line. His adver-
tisements are not confined to bulletin
boards either, as the open letter pub
lished elsewhere in the TRIBUNE will
testify. He has fine stock ofgoods
and proposes to let the good people OF
the county know what he has to offer.
Watch the TRIBUNE closely fer his
| announcements from week to week.
Some farmers are reasoning thus:-
eff I thresh now | will have to sell
nv wheat at once, at the market price,
to pay store bills, if / wait awhile UNI
til prices advance, and then thresh, l
will make money" Therefore many
machines are idle and the hands dis
charged. Every effort now should be
to hold the wheat until the last posi-
| BILE moment. Prices may go down for
a time yet but they are sure to be
better this fall.-Browns Valley Re-
! portet;
The Harvest Festival given in the
roller rink last Friday evening, in
spite of threatening weather, was very
successful and pleasant. The rink
was tastefully decorated with pictures
flags. flowers, grasses and the pro-
duets of the held, and being well
lighted, presented an unusually at
tractive appearance. There was q
large attendance, fine MUSIC and an
ABUNDANCE of delicious things to eat
and ths entire evening was spent in q
most deliSnFful way:
In the grove upon Charles Winter:
mute's farm are a large number o.
, plum trees and as usual they are
heavily loaded with plums. Will
| characteristic generosity Mr.. Winter
| mutes authorizes the TRIBUNE to in
| yite any who wish, to Wight the place
, and enjoy the fruit. There are bH
: few people owning plum groves wh'
l have the goodness to allow everybod!
to help themselves, but MI: Winter
mute is one of the few. Whenever Ii
has anything desirable, he never fail
a to pass 1t round.
l Well-to-do farmers, who can affor

Y This is commendable, provided sue
: farmers do not entirely ignore tn
county, or other local fairs. The locs
| fairs really do more for the improye
