Morris tribune., 1886-05-26


little folks in the Congregational
church last Friday evening for the
benefit of the bell fund of the church
was largely attended and was sue
cessful in every way. The pro-
gramme was interesting and each
did his part well. Mr.. and Mrs. e.
f. Hill did the work of drilling the
little people in their parts and to their
uutiring efforts, much of the success
of the entertainment is due. The net
proceeds were between thirty and
forty dollars. .
The Strawberry and ice cream
festival given by the Ladies Aid So
ciety of the Methodist church one
week ago this evening was u most en-
joyable, rs we'll rs successful affair.
The attendance was large and each
one seemed to think Strawberries and
ice cream yum, yum and WAS willing
to pay literally for the luxury OF eat
ing 1t. j. ID. Good gave the society
the benefit of his experience and
business connections in purchasing
the Strawberries and A. Curtiss gave
the use of his fine new store room. TO
each of these gentlemen the ladies
wish to tender thanks. The net pro-
ceeds are about thirty five dollars.

There seems to be a taoit under
among the farmers of this
county that they will not give to as
SCISSORS the number of acres of grain
;own and similar information. There
IS no disposition to suppress facts
needed IN properly levying taxes or
10 shirk.the payment of taxes, but
here is 4 decided determination to
'efuse to give Information which is
Used by statistIcians and speculatnrs
n depressing markets. Farmers are
lot compelled to assist in giving sta
istics and are perfectly justified III
to do so, when these statis-
les are used by designing parties, to
heir own disadvantage. Farmers, as
veil as others, should cheerfully give
Ill the information needed III accur-
Itely determining what the amount
# their taxes should be, but it is not
to do more than that.
Mat Diedrlch's challenge to VIM.
1yland for contest in shooting was
accepted and on Monday
fternoon the contest took place,
Neither of the contestants hit any
hing, Sc that & "draw" was declared
y thejudges. Dir. Hyland seems TO
e satisfied, but the news has just
cen brought to Mr.. Diedrich over
he underground railway that some
ne surreptitiogsly caused too much
ago and not enough shot to be used
n loading the shells used by him and
e is not happy. Mr.. Diedrich says
hat positive evidence of this i'm
act impales the validity d
f the judges equllibrious decision
nd that the contest must be renewed. i
he phraseology of the above may not
e accurate, but Mr.. DiedriGA spoke
igorously and we have given his
xact language as nearly as possible,
Calling upon Charles Wilson one ,
ay during the past week we found
i'm in state of righteous indigna-
ion. Ho said one of the young men
f the place had just called in wear
ng bicycling jacket which he had
rdered from the cities, The jacket
'as much too large and the young
nan was i'll a state of mind. Mr..
wilson picked from his stock SINH.
Ar jacket which fit perfectly, when
he young man said, IT did not know
on kept such goods in stock or /
Tould not have sent away Soon af- d
er 6. 4: II. man called wearing a 8
t. A. r. suit which he had Just re- G
eived from Chicago. Upon being \
hown better fitting suit from Mr.. t
stock, he made q remark
cry similar to the one quoted above.
1r. Wilson said there is just rs
luch reason for wondering whether
+ not the hardware dealer keeps nails,
ne butcher, steak, or the grocer, :
ugar, as to wonder whether the |
arious lines OF clothing are kept at ]
is store. He wants it understood !
hat he is ciothier, that he keeps )
II kind of clothing. and that he can /
t everybody, no matter what their
lie or shape or the kind of clothing
hey want.
