its way to new location on Atlantic

The "Real Estate Register" pub
lished by the "Stevens County Abb
stract and Real Estate Agency" is re-
ceiving many hattering notices from
the state press.
Notice Miss Kellogg's advertise
ments in this issue of the TRIBUNE.
She has just received an unusually
large and attractive stock of spring
and summer millinery, which she is
selling at low prices. By calling soon
the ladies of Morris and vicinity will
find a great variety of hats, bonnets,
etc from which to make selections.
Last Friday evening base ball
club was formed with F. A. Baily as
Captain, J. H. Dudley, Treasurer and
E. w. Randall, Secretary. The club
is now devoting itself to practice.
Meanwhile if there are any base ball
players III surrounding villages who
have any conceit, the Morris club will
be glad at any time to hear from them.
At the time of the regular morning
offering at the Methodist church last
Sunday, Rev. J. A. Cullen asked a
liberal amount from the congregation
to pay for needed improvements in
their house of worship. The collec-
ton resulted in the receipt of more
money than was asked for. Such lib
erality speaks we'll for the prosperity
of the church.
LIE Sueur Sentinel: Tomorrow is
the day for assessors to begin their
work. Under law of last winter a
State census is also to be taken by as
SCISSORS, hence heads Of families ought

Said we'll known builder in our
hearing the other day, II never saw {
time in Morris, when so many addi'
tions to houses were. being made as a
present." In looking about one car
at a glance see the correctness of the
gentleman's remark. In every part
of the city, houses are being enlarged
and improved in way that indicates
thrift and prosperity. A considerable
number of new buildings are also t,
be erected which will make the tota
of building improvements for the yea
unusually large.
The promptness with which nearly
all citizens have responded to tn
call for cleanliness made by the Boart
Of Health is commendable. Men ant
teams have been kept busy for SOM
time and manure piles and other kind
of filth have been removed from mos
of the barns and alleys. The health
fulness and appearance of the village
, are greatly improved. There ar
a few, however whose premises hav
, not yet been thoroughly cleaned AM
we hope they will at once finish til
work with the same thoroughnes
=, manifested by the others.
