Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1885-04-15

draft horses to st. Paul where sucf
horses are now in great demand
Stevens is stock raising county anC
her farmers are exporting cattle il
large numbers and are now beginning
| the expectation Of horses.
A new advertisement for the Boston
One Price Clothing House Of ST
Paul appears in this number. Dur
ing the fifteen years this house
has been in business it has earned q
reputation for reliability and square
dealing that is as broad and long IL
this Northwest. 1t is firm that we
can heartily recommend.
Thomas Colohan and Miss Sarah
T.. Griffith were married at the Cath
Ollie church, yesterday morning by
Rev. F. Watry. Both bride and groom
are well known in Morris and vicinity
and the TRIBUNE joins with their
many friends in wishing them their
full share Of happiness in their jour
ney through life.
A novelty in lamp wicks has been
introduced in Morris. They are
made Of fine-spun glass, inclcsed in
thin cotton cloth and their merit con-
sists in the fnct that they are virtual
ly indestructible. While the glass
acts as good conductor to take up
the oil to burn, it does not burn itself;
hence one wick will last for years.
The "Cattle Fair about which the
TRIBUNE has had so much TO say Of
late 10 to be success. The business
men Of Morris and leading farmers of
the county have taken hold ofthe ell
terprise and will push il through.
Circulars have been sent to every
farmer in the county asking his CO.
operation and help and circulars have
also been sent to stock dealers and
buyers all over the country telling
them of the date Of the Fair and ask
ing them to be present. There Will be
a great amount of cattle here and we
think purchasers for all that is offered
for sale. Come to the Fair.
If we mistake not present laws re-
quire railway companies to provide
separate waiting rooms for ladies and
gentlemen in dep0ts at important
stations. This ought to have some
bearing upon the Manitoba depot at
this place. We understand that the
company is planning to better their
depot accommodations here and we
hope that instead Of making another
room in their dingy old depot, that
they vii! build q new one in keeping
with the place and the amount of
business here. The Manitoba COM
pany ought to be willing to put up q
creditable depot in a place of the size
and Importance of Morris.
In this number OF the TRIBUNE will
be found proclamation of the Cover
nor designating Thursday, April 23rd
as Arbor Day. If there is place any
where that needs trees, Morris needs
them and if this proclamation is inn
portant to anybody, it is important
to people living here. The TRI-
BUNE suggests that for halt that
day at least, the business houses in
Morris be closed and everybody work
at tree-planting. Let each and every
person plant tree or shrub, if not
collection of them, in the streets or
about their homes and in very few
years great and beneficial results will
be seen.
Monday was pea nut day, W. P:
Howe advertising agent for Berkey
Talnladge & CO. of St. Paul came up
on the afternoon train from Benson,
bringing with him pea nuts enough to
feed everybody in the county. He
pre- empted piece Of the walk in
front of the Metropolitan Hotel, for
the afternoon and began the distribu-
ton of the eatables. He gave q bag
of peanuts to every man, woman and
child who came along without refer
ence to race, color or previous con-
dition of servitude and everybody
had a good time eating, that is if they
relished peanuts. We join with the
other little folks in wishing Mr..
Howe to call again.
Although the Village Council at it's
last meeting passed motion instruct
ing the Village Recorder to furnish
copy of their proceedings to the official
paper of the Village, that official still
neglects or refuses to perform that
simple duty. We repeat what we
have said before, that the Village
Council is too large and Intelligent a
body to have It's wishes thwarted by
the insignificant under-strapper who
has been appointed Recorder and we
believe they will soon take steps,
compelling the present Recorder to
attend to the business Of the office or
appointing another who will. The
proceedings of the council are full Of
interest and the people wish to know
what they are.
All amounts of personal property
tax delinquent is now in the hands OF
tile Sheriff. The law makes it his
duty to call upon each individual who
has not paid his personal property
tax, demand its payment and if this
be neglected or refused to immediate
ly ''distrain sufficient goods and chat
tells belonging to the person charged
with such taxes, if found within the
county, to pay the same with the PEN
atty of ten per cent and all accfuing
costs" Those who have thought
themselves unable TO pay stheir per-
sonal property tax are surely unable
to pay said tax with ten per cent
penalty, Clerk of Courts fee, and
