ris request all citizens to join them on
Friday evening of this week III max
ing f1re-breaks all about the city.
This Is o move in the right direction
and all residents of the place ought
to turn out and help make the work
thorough. This notice is published
at the request of F. f. Newell, Presi-
dent of the Council.
TT. Moore has rented tie lower
floor of the TRIBUNE building and as
soon as necessary repairs can he made,
will move his store into it. This
change will give Mr.. Moore an inn
proved location, more commodious
quarters and will enable him to carry
q larger and more varied stock and
do a larger business. He will be able
to move about November LIST.
Morris Lodge No. 55. of the Ancient
Order of United Workmen gave
social last evening in their hall at the
close of an early and short business
session. The invitation was general
pnd the attendance large. There was
music, few speeches, refreshments
and general good time. Another
social of a similar nature will probably
be given in about two months.
Hancock & Stebbins are represented
in our advertising columns to-day and
will be hereafter. This firm has not
yet completed needed improvements
in their building, or got in many new
goods just yet, but they will be ready
for business in dead earnest in a few
days. They intend to keep full line
of first class goods and deserve a
liberal share of public patronage.
There will be services in the Con-
gregational church next Sunday even
ing, commencing at half past seven
o'clock. conducted by the w. G. T. U.
of Morris. The choirs of the Metho-
dist and Congre gational churches will
join in chorus singing, and short
speeches will be delivered by different
ones interested in their work. All
are cordially invited to attend.
Farmers, feeling themselves greatly
interested in the work of the next
legislature, have taken an active part
in naming candidates for that body.
The farmers OF this district met some
time ago aud made nominations. The
Republicans promptly endorsed those
nominations. The Democrats, how
ever, have made nominations of their
own and will defeat the farmers NOM
inees if possible. This is only one of
the ways in which the Democrats are
showing their friendship for the far
mers. If it does not result in a de-
creased vote for the Democratic state
and county ticket, the TRIBUNE will
lose its guess.
The Democratic District convention
met I'm Morris yesterday and NOM
mated Hon. Geo. I. Becker, of
Browns Valley, for the Senate and L.
E. Pearce Esq. of Morris, for the
House. while we do not believe
there is possibility of the election OF
either of these gentlemen, the TRIB-
| UNE wishes to give the Democrats
credit for making good nominations.
Both Messrs. Becker and Pearce are
capable, honest men, well worthy OF
any honors their party can bestow
upon them. Their political views,
however, are not in accord with the
majority of the people of the district
and for this reason, we predict their
defeat by the usual majorities.
Last Monday evening one of e: P
Watson's teams INDUCED in a spirited
runaway. Leaving the buildings up
on Pleasant View Stock farm o.
which Mr.. Watson is manager, thu
| team took the HANCOCK road for few
! miles then turned to the railroad tracl
and at terrific gait followed that II
the direction of Morris taking thu
buggy with them until stopped by ont
of the large bridges near the river. Th'
team was rescued from the trestle
work of the bridge, when, surprising
as it may seem, the horses were fount
to be uninjured and no damage hat
been done to either buggy or har
nesses. In endeavoring to stop thu
team ut the start, Mr.. Watson wa
thrown to the ground and was con
siderably, although not seriously
bruised. Altogether it was remark
| able runaway.
